Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : La présente pétition demande une augmentation de la déduction fiscale pour frais de déplacement (FD) entre le domicile et le lieu de travail. Les frais de déplacement ne concernent pas uniquement le carburant, mais également l'ensemble des coûts liés à l'utilisation d'un véhicule : assurance, entretien, réparations, pneumatiques et usure générale du véhicule. Ces dernières années, les prix ont considérablement augmenté dans tous ces domaines. Pourtant, les montants de la déduction fiscale n'ont pas été adaptés à cette évolution. Le montant actuel est devenu insuffisant au regard des dépenses supportées par les salariés qui utilisent quotidiennement leur véhicule pour se rendre au travail. Cette pétition demande donc une revalorisation des frais de déplacement afin de mieux tenir compte de l'augmentation du coût de la vie et des dépenses réelles liées aux trajets domicile-travail.

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide specific, written and factual reasons for rejecting job applicants. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Specific feedback: Identify the professional skills, qualifications, experience or assessment results decisive in the rejection. Generic explanations must not be considered sufficient. Clear justification: Distinguish between candidates who fail to meet essential requirements and qualified candidates rejected in favour of another applicant, specifying the decisive selection criteria. Documented selection criteria: Establish selection criteria before evaluating candidates and document recruitment decisions. Record retention: Retain recruitment assessments and decisions for a legally defined period, in compliance with data protection legislation. Independent review: Allow candidates to request an independent examination where reasonable grounds exist to suspect discrimination, favouritism or other irregularities. Enforcement: Establish reasonable deadlines for providing feedback, effective oversight mechanisms and proportionate sanctions for non-compliance. The required level of detail should reflect the stage reached in the recruitment process.

OBJECT : This petition calls for stronger criminal penalties for pickpocketing and the theft of mobile phones and wallets, whether or not violence is involved, as well as for any violence or threats that accompany them. In particular, it aims to: • strengthen penalties for these thefts in themselves, even without violence, because the harm to victims goes far beyond the value of the stolen items; • provide for even firmer penalties in cases involving violence, threats, aggravating circumstances or repeat offending; • ensure penalties that are proportionate to the seriousness of the offenses and sufficiently dissuasive; • improve the protection of the public, particularly on public transport and in public places. These offenses are not minor misdemeanors: they call for a firm, consistent and clear response.
