Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : This petition calls for stronger criminal penalties for pickpocketing and the theft of mobile phones and wallets, whether or not violence is involved, as well as for any violence or threats that accompany them. In particular, it aims to: • strengthen penalties for these thefts in themselves, even without violence, because the harm to victims goes far beyond the value of the stolen items; • provide for even firmer penalties in cases involving violence, threats, aggravating circumstances or repeat offending; • ensure penalties that are proportionate to the seriousness of the offenses and sufficiently dissuasive; • improve the protection of the public, particularly on public transport and in public places. These offenses are not minor misdemeanors: they call for a firm, consistent and clear response.

OBJECT : La présente pétition a pour but d'interdire la présence d'animaux de compagnie (notamment les chiens) lors des grands rassemblements publics à forte affluence au Luxembourg (fêtes foraines, marchés de Noël, kermesses d'envergure), hors chiens d'assistance. Cette mesure vise à préserver le bien-être animal face au stress sonore et à la foule, tout en garantissant la sécurité physique des animaux et des visiteurs.

OBJECT : To introduce a national framework allowing flexibility to parents to take up to 10 justified days of school absence (additionally to school holidays) per school year for family, cultural or travel-related reasons, subject to prior written notification to the school, without requiring its approval, and limited to a maximum of 3 consecutive school days per absence, in order to minimise disruption to children's education.
