Luxemburger Wort announces its stance on referendum questions

"Yes" to the right of foreigners to vote, "no" to the voting age being lowered to 16 and "no" to limitation of ministers mandates. These are the official positions of the Luxemburger Wort for the three questions that Luxembourgers will be asked during the referendum on June 7.

The positions will be detailed in the print edition of Luxemburger Wort on Saturday, through a series of articles by our journalists on the politics newsdesk.

In the meantime Editor in chief of Luxemburger Wort, Jean-Lou Siweck in a video interview commented, "We have taken a positive position for the right of foreigners to vote, and negative for the other two questions."

He continued by stating, “As journalists, we deal with these issues all day long. It can therefore be interesting for our readers to know what conclusions we draw from the debate in recent months."

Here is  Jean-Lou Siweck's explanation in Luxembourgish, and below that, a French version

and in French....

In total 244,382 Luxembourgers are registered on the electoral lists and therefore will participate in the referendum on June 7 with the results expected at about 6pm.
