The party organised the picket out of a sense of outrage at the idea that the building - built using taxpayer money - should become a hotel. The press release ahead of the protest described the city centre as an increasing 'ghetto for the rich'.
The party went on to stress that Luxembourg does not need further 'undesirable developments' like the Royal Hamilius, which put 100%-publicly owned plots at the availability of private speculators, who then went on to build luxury shopping centres and apartments for the uber-rich, the press release continued.
Ultimately, the Left stress, the building must continue to fulfil its public duty and should be used for affordable living spaces or cultural events.
