Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : We wish to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to growing concerns regarding the safety of children within and around educational institutions. On the one hand, it has been observed that certain playgrounds and school surroundings, when accessible outside of school hours, may be exposed to vandalism or the presence of hazardous waste such as broken glass, syringes, or other harmful substances. These elements pose a direct risk to children's health and safety. On the other hand, the issue of safety among students themselves requires urgent attention. Incidents of physical violence can occur from a very young age. Some children are subjected to blows or aggression, sometimes repeatedly, without adequate responses being provided. These incidents are not isolated and are part of a broader context in which violence can manifest at different stages of the educational journey. Recent events, including those in secondary schools, highlight the need for early intervention. We firmly believe that education in respect, conflict management, and kindness must begin at an early age. Prevention is essential to ensure that such behaviors do not become entrenched over time. In light of these concerns, we call for: Effective securing of playgrounds outside school hours; Systematic and thorough cleaning of school premises before students arrive; Increased supervision within schools and their surroundings; Serious and consistent handling of incidents of violence between students, including in daycare and kindergarten; The implementation of prevention and respect-based education programs adapted to each age group; Improved communication between educational staff and parents on these matters. The physical and emotional safety of children must remain an absolute priority. Schools must remain safe environments where every child can grow, learn, and thrive without fear.

OBJECT : Diese Petition fordert ein Verbot von Glücksspielautomaten in Cafés und ähnlichen Gastronomiebetrieben. Diese Automaten sind leicht zugänglich und führen häufig dazu, dass Menschen unkontrolliert Geld verspielen. Besonders problematisch ist, dass sie in alltäglichen Orten wie Cafés stehen, die eigentlich Treffpunkte für Familien, Jugendliche und die Gemeinschaft sein sollten. Stattdessen werden sie zu Orten, an denen Glücksspiel gefördert wird. Glücksspielautomaten können zu finanziellen Problemen, Spielsucht und sozialen Schwierigkeiten führen. Wenn sie in Cafés frei zugänglich sind, sinkt die Hemmschwelle, Geld zu verspielen, erheblich. Besonders gefährdet sind Menschen mit geringem Einkommen sowie junge Erwachsene. Cafés sollten Orte der Begegnung, der Entspannung und des sozialen Austauschs sein - keine Orte, an denen Glücksspiel gefördert wird. Daher fordert diese Petition die zuständigen Behörden und politischen Entscheidungsträger auf, Glücksspielautomaten in Cafés zu verbieten und damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Schutz der Bevölkerung vor Spielsucht zu leisten.

OBJECT : This petition calls for the establishment of a high-capital, one-time birth grant awarded upon the birth of a second child and each additional child within a household residing in Luxembourg. The goal is to remove the financial barriers associated with growing a family through massive and targeted support, specifically enabling access to property ownership and long-term financial security for children.
