The right-wing party’s leader criticised the government’s handling of the pandemic, saying that it has put employers and employees in a situation “that isn’t healthy”.

During his speech Schoos also addressed the During an RTL radio show on 9 January, Sabharwal said that the ideas and behaviour promoted by the ADR made them “deadly dangerous” while calling the party a group of “vile scumbags”. Schoos took issue with those statements and said that the worst was that the other journalists who were present during the broadcast did not distance themselves from it.

As well as Sabharwal, guests on the radio show also included Marc Schlammes from the Wort and Christoph Bumb from Reporter.lu.

The reform of Luxembourg’s constitution was also on Schoos’ agenda during his speech. He stated that the Luxembourg people have a right to vote on it in a referendum, highlighting that “it was promised”.
