Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : We ask the Chamber of Deputies to reject the increase of the holding period from six to twelve months (article 99bis of the income tax law) announced with the 2027 budget, and to keep the current six-month rule.

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to reform the Luxembourgish legislation on weapons in order to allow adult citizens with clean criminal records to possess and carry non-lethal means of self-defense, specifically certified pepper spray and alarm weapons (blank and gas firing weapons). This reform proposes to draw inspiration from the proven legal model of the Federal Republic of Germany, notably through the creation of an equivalent to the "restricted firearms certificate" (Kleiner Waffenschein), thereby guaranteeing regulated, controlled, and secure access to personal protection tools in public spaces.

OBJECT : The first stage of the 2026 Tour de Luxembourg arrived in Luxembourg City on 16 September at around 5:45 p.m., precisely at a time when many people were travelling home from work. The road closures and diversions put in place that day showed that an event of this scale needs to be better coordinated with everyday traffic. This petition therefore calls for the following measures for future editions of the Skoda Tour de Luxembourg and other major events: * finishes and major road closures should, as far as possible, be avoided during peak hours; * clear and simple diversion routes should be planned in advance; * the public should be informed sufficiently early and clearly about road closures and the routes that remain accessible; * road closures and diversions should be reported as quickly as possible to navigation apps and other traffic information services; * emergency services, home care services and other essential services must be able to circulate at all times; * major events should only be authorised where effective traffic management can be guaranteed; * organisers should, as far as possible, bear the additional costs directly caused by the event, in particular those relating to police presence, municipal officers, signage and traffic management.
