Briefings
A source claims 200,000 Portuguese were notified to leave Luxembourg, but statistics show the country actually has approximately 88,400 Portuguese residents. This makes the claim impossible, as the number of people to notify would exceed the total population. The article concludes the figure is false.
Key points
- The Luxembourg Statistics Service states the Portuguese population is approximately 88,400 residents.
- It is impossible to notify more than 88,400 people to leave the country.
Context
This finding clarifies a false rumor circulating about a large-scale exodus of Portuguese citizens from Luxembourg.
Limitations
The evidence is a single statistic from the Luxembourg Statistics Service dated October 2026, with no further data or context provided.
