Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : La présente pétition demande au Gouvernement et à la Chambre des Députés de renforcer la protection du pouvoir d'achat des citoyens face à l'augmentation des coûts des carburants, du chauffage et de l'énergie, et de promouvoir des solutions diplomatiques permettant de réduire les conséquences économiques des conflits internationaux. Elle demande notamment : 1. De prendre des mesures concrètes pour maintenir des prix du diesel et des carburants abordables pour les citoyens, les familles et les travailleurs. 2. De renforcer la protection des ménages face aux coûts du chauffage, de l'électricité et du gaz, notamment pendant la période hivernale. 3. De soutenir les efforts diplomatiques et les négociations de paix afin de réduire les risques d'escalade militaire et leurs conséquences humaines et économiques. 4. D'assurer davantage de transparence concernant les dépenses publiques liées aux conflits internationaux et leurs conséquences pour les contribuables. 5. De faire de la sécurité énergétique, du pouvoir d'achat et de la stabilité économique des citoyens des priorités de l'action publique.

OBJECT : Our dogs are part of the family - they shouldn't be forced to wait alone outside the bakery, the butcher's or the gelateria. Problems: - Animals left outside are sometimes stolen - During heatwaves, being left tied up outside is dangerous for them. - Queues prolong the wait and cause stress for owners. The proposal - To allow dogs on a lead and under their owner's supervision into local shops (bakeries, butchers, ice-cream parlours, grocery shops), except in areas expressly prohibited for health or safety reasons - Introduce simple and practical rules: leashes compulsory; dogs permitted only if they do not disrupt service; no entry to preparation areas without a barrier; owners liable for any damage - Raise awareness amongst shopkeepers and the public about responsible behaviour (picking up after their dogs, keeping them on a leash, muzzling them if necessary)

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.
