"As a liberal, limiting our liberties during this pandemic was very hard for me to inforce but it was necessary" said Prime Minister Xavier Bettel when adresseing the participants about the actions of his governement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I cannot say we came out stronger of this crisis: some people lost their loved-ones, some have been very sick and some businesses were destroyed. But we might have learned something from this crisis." he added.
