Luxembourgish counter-petition reaches threshold to be discussed in Parliament

(sth) – A counter-petition to calls for Luxembourgish to be made the country's official language has collected enough signatures to be discussed in Parliament. Petition 725 entitled “NO to Luxembourgish as first official language” has collected the necessary 4,500 signatures already two weeks ahead of the deadline on December 6.

The petition was a reaction to petition 698 which calls for Luxembourgish to be made the first official language of the country. This pro-Luxembourgish petition was able to collect the necessary 4,500 signatures in record time and even went far beyond that with a record 15,500 signatures. No date has yet been fixed for the discussion of this petition in Parliament.
