Luxembourg City has implemented a ban on begging in response to perceived issues with aggressive panhandling. Supporters, including Mayor Lydie Polfer, argue that the policy has succeeded in addressing organized groups contributing to a feeling of insecurity in the downtown area. However, critics highlight the displacement of homeless individuals like David, a Czech man who faces increased difficulties on the streets. Amid rising poverty rates, local organizations report a growing number of people seeking assistance, arguing that the ban fails to address the underlying issues of poverty.
