The Police Work Behind 99 Demonstrations

Police supervised 99 declared demonstrations. The minister did not publish an overtime bill.

Luxembourg’s interior minister reported 99 pro-Palestinian demonstrations from October 7, 2023, through October 1, 2025. The breakdown was 13 in the remainder of 2023, 46 in 2024 and 40 in the covered portion of 2025. All were declared in advance and supervised by police.

The official count establishes how often officers supervised events. The municipal minutes show how concurrent commitments affected the terms of particular gatherings. The parliamentary answer provides no officer-hours, overtime figures or estimate of property damage.

The 46 events in 2024 give the only complete calendar year in this report. A count of supervised events measures operational workload. Calculating a budget impact would require staffing per event, shift arrangements and overtime rates. These were absent from the answer.
