The decennial change of power in Luxembourg is on the agenda

In the parliamentary elections held in Luxembourg, the Christian People’s Party (CSV) of the Christian Democrats came in first place and the parties that formed the coalition government led by the liberal party lost votes, which put the change of power on the agenda.

In the parliamentary elections held yesterday in the country, the Socialists, one of the parties in the coalition that has been in power for 10 years under the mandate of Xavier Bettel, of the liberal Democratic Party, kept their votes, but the Greens lost seats . in parliament.

Hence the possibility that the CSV, which has not been in power for years despite being the country’s first party, returns to power by forming a coalition.

The CSV, which won 21 seats in Luxembourg’s 60-seat parliament, is expected to soon begin coalition talks with other parties to take over the power it left behind 10 years ago.
Luxembourg, one of the smallest countries in Europe with a population of 650,000, is the richest country in Europe in terms of national income per capita.

Luxembourg had always been governed by a CSV prime minister after World War II, and 10 years ago, the liberal Bettel broke this process and wrested the premiership from Jean-Claude Juncker, who had been in the power for almost 19 years. (AA)
