Opponents of the Corona measures take Adr online
According to the Meta advertising library recently spent between 1,000 and 1,500 euros for an advertisement on Facebook. In general, the ADR leader is among the Luxembourg parties that switch advertisements on Facebook. Since Meta was recorded in April 2019, the ADR has issued a total of 93,943 euros. To classify: Even the largest party in the country, the CSV, spent “only” 68,371 euros over the same period.
But sometimes such advertising campaigns can backfire on social media despite the high expenses. On the most recent online advertising of the ADR a resolution of the party from the chamber can be seen. In it, she demands the creation of an investigation commission that would have the task of taking a closer look at the fight against pandemic. There should be a « really independent evaluation », according to the resolution, which dates from 2023. In this, doctors, economists, civil society – « including vaccination skeptics », as the ADR writes.
In the Facebook posting, the ADR is now reminiscent of the fact that CSV, DP, LSAP and Déi Gréng rejected that resolution at the time. In the past two weeks, the party has increasingly posted content in connection with the demand for a processing of pandemic.
Luxembourg paid for the first time vaccination victims
On April 25th, the party « posted » one on its Facebook page Intervention of her MPs Alexandra Schoosin which she reminds the CSV that in the past she had coordinated a motion in which the creation of an independent investigative commission was required for the Covid crisis. The following day another Chamber video appeared on the ADR page-this time One from Fernand Kartheiseragain on the same topic.

ADR distances itself from statements from an opponent of Corona policy
It is no coincidence that the party is specifically promoting social media. A few days earlier, on April 23, The hearing of the petition 2489 in the chamber. As a topic, she had the introduction of that investigation commission.
Vaccination opponents shock the parliament with statements about the covid vaccination
The petent’s explanations, the French management consultant Amar Goudjil, provided frowning with the MPs last week. Among other things, he meant that covid vaccinations could include « nanotechnologies » and that vaccination as a protective agent was « pure fraud ». Convinced by his own statements, Goudjil even said that they wanted to « go to prison for two years » should they prove to be wrong.
The public hearing of the petition led to a tense exchange. Even the ADR MP Alexandra Schoos distanced himself in a subordinate clause from some statements by the petent. She finds « a few of the sentences » that have fallen in the debate « not good » without specifying them.
In general, the ADR politician behaved rather timid. It was the ADR who vehemently called for a processing of the covid measures in Covid times and sided with the opponents of vaccination. The party repeatedly denounced the government’s crisis. At the public hearing of the petition 2489, Schoos mostly questioned the petent’s request that the investigation commission should be “independent”.
How the fight against pandemic damaged the rule of law sustainably
ADR is « below » after a petition hearing for followers « below »
On the social networks, the appearance of the MPs seems to have not convinced their own supporters – on the contrary: The ADR harvests criticism that it has not rushed to the petent Goudjil. « After the petition, you are through below, » writes a user on Facebook about a posting of the ADR of the past few days. Another person complained that the ADR « did not initiative the petition ». Another user writes under the Kartheiser video from 2023, which the AD has posted over the past few weeks: « It would have been different with Fernand Kartheiser on Wednesday. I think the ADR has now lost many voters. »

Others criticize that the ADR is « hypocritical », « cowardly » and « did not get his mouth up to clearly stand on the side of the petitioner and to put everything to ensure that there must be an independent commission ».
The pandemic never stopped for nurses in Luxembourg
The party must also collect criticism from the controversial doctor Peter Freitag. Friday was a leading figure of the opponents of the Corona measures during pandemic times and organized Corona protests. In March 2025 he was still in the second instance sentenced to insultbecause he had described two doctors on LinkedIn, among other things, as « Student of Dr. Mengele », « Nazis in the spirit » or « Coronanazis ».
Friday criticizes that the ADR has always « » crazy « on the subject of Covid, » when it came to delivering something really decisive « . With its demand for an investigation commission, the ADR, like other parties, would only “play temporarily”, said Freitag.
