Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

PURPOSE : We draw the attention to a serious and well-documented problem, the mistreatment of animals in the context of organized begging, often linked to criminal networks. This petition aims to: - strengthen the protection of animals used for begging - combat networks that exploit animals - implement concrete measures for monitoring, sanctioning, and caring for the affected animals It does not target homeless persons who own a dog, but exclusively criminal networks or people that exploit animals, without penalizing vulnerable individuals.

PURPOSE : 20 or 25 years ago, many persons and organizations were opposed to genetically modified organisms (GMO); the result was a prudent approach concerning human and livestock food and pharmaceutics. Until now, genetically modified organisms were prohibited in normal human food. Only in livestock food, pharmaceutics and non-food applications they were allowed, but a clear indication was required. Without any mandate of the population (no party program, no referendum, nor any other questioning of the citizens), our EU representants agreed on diminishing restrictions on GMOs, and above all, abolished the labeling requirement of products containing GMOs. The petition calls on our country to oppose this agreement and refrain from transposing this directive into national law.»).

PURPOSE : La présente pétition vise à demander une révision du congé pour raisons familiales au Luxembourg afin d'en augmenter la durée, d'en assouplir les conditions d'octroi et de mieux prendre en compte la situation spécifique des familles monoparentales.
