Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

PURPOSE : Wir fordern die luxemburgischen EU-Abgeordneten und die Mitglieder der Abgeordnetenkammer dazu auf, sich klar und öffentlich gegen den aktuellen Vorschlag der EU-Verordnung zur Bekämpfung von sexuellem Missbrauch von Kindern im Netz (CSAR) auszusprechen, insbesondere in der geplanten Form der sogenannten Chatkontrolle.

PURPOSE : We believe that culture should be for everyone-not just those who can afford to pay for access, and not just those who can walk through a door. We are calling on the luxembourgish Parliament to recognise this barrier and work with communities to find a fair, inclusive solution-whether through subsidised access to accessible venues, public cultural spaces, or infrastructure support for small event organisers. What We're Asking For We're calling on the luxembourgish Parliament to work with communities and make culture accessible for everyone. Here are some practical steps that would make a real difference: 1. Accessible public spaces for culture Community centres, school auditoriums, libraries, or other publicly-owned venues could be opened up as fully accessible cultural hubs. ➡️ This would mean a young comedian, poet, or musician could put on a show without worrying about stairs-or about whether their audience can get in the door. 2. Support for private venues Offer financial help-through tax breaks, grants, or subsidies-to bars, cafés, and restaurants that invest in accessibility and agree to host community events without charging extra. ➡️ This would mean small cultural events could happen in popular, central spaces, instead of being shut out by high costs. 3. Micro-grants for event organisers Provide small grants for organisers who want to rent accessible venues but can't afford commercial rates. ➡️ This would mean grassroots collectives wouldn't have to choose between accessibility and survival. 4. One platform for all venues citing accessibility infrastructure Create a central online platform where organisers can find up-to-date information on all venues and locations that includes their accessibility infrastructure, i.e. step-free access, toilets, hearing loops, quiet spaces, etc. The features/infrastucture would be self-reported by venues thus avoiding the need for costly external accessibility audits. It could be validated by the community to ensure accuracy. ➡️ This would mean less wasted time searching, less frustration-and more energy put into creating events people love. 5. Listening to disabled voices Set up a working group of disabled artists, performers, and event organisers to help shape long-term accessibility strategy. ➡️ This would mean policies are built on lived experience-not assumptions-and that solutions actually work in practice. Each of these steps is achievable. Together, they would open the doors-literally-to a cultural life where no one is excluded because of disability or money.

PURPOSE : In Luxembourg, rental deposits are held in banks, while this system has been functional, it presents an opportunity for centralizing the management of these deposits under a government agency. This proposal suggests that the Luxembourg government should adopt a system similar to Spain, where rental deposits are held by a government agency. This would provide the government with a new financial tool to generate interest and fund public initiatives. Au Luxembourg, les dépôts de location sont actuellement détenus dans des banques. Bien que ce système ait fonctionné, il présente une opportunité en centralisant la gestion de ces dépôts sous une agence gouvernementale. Cette proposition suggère que le gouvernement luxembourgeois devrait adopter un système similaire à celui de l'Espagne, où les dépôts de location sont conservés par une agence gouvernementale. Ce permettrait fournir au gouvernement un nouvel outil financier pour générer des intérêts et financer des initiatives publiques.
