Is the Wagner group a terrorist organisation ?

On May 9th, the French General Assembly requested in a resolution to add the Wagner group to the list of terrorist organizations. How does our Ministry of Foreign Affairs stand on this request? Will Luxembourg follow suit? Our MP Gusty Graas inquired with the relevant ministry.

« Le 9 mai 2023, l’Assemblée nationale a adopté une résolution réclamant que la France et l’Union européenne inscrivent le groupe militaire privé russe Wagner sur la liste des organisations terroristes.

Selon un article paru au « Monde » en date du 11 mai 2023, la ministre des affaires étrangères en France aurait mis en avant l’importance symbolique d’une telle démarche, et l’impact qu’elle pourrait avoir sur des États cherchant à entrer en relation avec le groupe militaire.

Or, suite à la demande du Parlement européen en novembre 2022, seule la Lituanie aurait jusqu’à présent placé le groupe Wagner sur la liste des entités terroristes. 

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre des Affaires étrangères et européennes :

  • Quelle est la position du Ministère des Affaires étrangères en ce qui concerne la demande du Parlement européen ?
  • Monsieur le Ministre envisage-t-il, à l’instar de la Lituanie, également inscrire le groupe Wagner  sur la liste des organisations terroristes?»

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

To ensure more effective pedagogical differentiation from the start of schooling, the coalition agreement foresees the gradual introduction of a second classroom support worker in cycle 1. This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.

DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health why these results are not communicated and whether this is compatible with data protection regulations.
