The Administrative Court of Luxembourg City was set to review an appeal for interim measures filed by two beggars against the Luxembourg State on Wednesday morning.

The appeal challenged Minister for Home Affairs Léon Gloden's decision in favour of the municipality of Luxembourg City's police regulations aimed at curbing begging in the capital.

However, proceedings came to a halt as the judge promptly alerted the lawyers to the absence of one of the primary parties in the case: the municipality of Luxembourg City.

No information has been disclosed regarding any decision made during the hearing.

Frank Rollinger, the lawyer representing the two beggars, maintains that the begging ban in Luxembourg City is disproportionate. He stated, "Time and again, political leaders who either wanted to or have approved the regulation assert that simple begging is not the target. However, my clients are clear: They are routinely instructed to move along and remove their cups."

Rollinger argues that existing laws against aggressive begging render the new regulations unnecessary, emphasising that measures to address this specific issue have long been in place.
