Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : This petition calls upon the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to declare a national housing emergency and, consequently, to deploy all necessary financial and human resources to ensure that structural measures enter into force before the end of 2027. These structural measures could include, among others: - A national register of buildings and housing; - A reform and the effective enforcement of rent caps, including the right for tenants to be reimbursed in the event that their rent exceeds the legal limit; - A national tax on vacant housing and a national tax on land mobilization; - An annual investment of 1% of GDP into the creation or acquisition of affordable housing; - A mandatory threshold requiring each municipality to offer a minimum of 20% affordable housing within its housing stock by 2035; - A guaranteed minimum density for projects built by public developers (SNHBM, Fonds du Logement); - The creation of a public-private partnership between the State and social partners, funded by employer and employee contributions, aimed at building affordable housing; - A procedure authorizing municipalities to reclaim buildings and buildable plots in a state of manifest abandonment, characterized notably by a severe and long-term lack of maintenance.

OBJECT : Cette pétition vise à restaurer le pouvoir d'achat de l'ensemble des travailleurs, et particulièrement des frontaliers, face à l'inflation. Elle poursuit deux objectifs principaux : Indexer les frais de déplacement (FD) : Exiger la fin du gel de cette déduction fiscale, bloquée au plafond de 214,50 EUR par mois depuis 2018, afin de l'adapter à la hausse réelle du coût des carburants et de la mobilité. Garantir l'équité face aux crises : Interpeller le gouvernement sur l'exclusion des non-résidents des boucliers énergétiques (aides électricité, gaz, mazout) alors qu'ils cotisent et paient leurs impôts au même titre que les résidents, et demander la mise en place d'un mécanisme de compensation financière juste.

OBJECT : Currently, various airlines impose strict weight limits for animals traveling in the cabin, along with very restrictive size requirements. These conditions exclude many small dogs that only slightly exceed this limit, particularly dogs weighing around 10 to 12 kg, which are nonetheless suitable for cabin travel under appropriate conditions. In practice, these animals are often calm, accustomed to traveling, and able to remain in a suitable carrier under the seat. However, they are systematically refused in the cabin and must travel in the hold, which can cause stress and pose risks to their well-being. This petition proposes a reasonable adjustment of the current rules: increasing the allowed weight limit in the cabin to 12 kg (excluding the transport bag), no longer penalizing passengers by including the weight of the bag in the limit, adapting the permitted dimensions to better reflect the reality of small-sized animals, maintaining strict safety and transport requirements (appropriate carrier, calm animal). The objective is to better balance passenger safety with animal welfare by adapting the rules to real and common situations. We call on the Luxembourg authorities to encourage an evolution of these conditions in order to make them fairer, more proportionate, and better suited to current needs.
