The right-wing sovereignist party (ADR) recorded a new surge (+1 point compared to the 2018 election), at 9.3% of the vote.<\/p>\n
As 5 years ago, the Social Christians came first (29% of the votes, +0.9 points) in this small prosperous EU state (660,000 inhabitants), according to complete results published Sunday evening after the end of counting.<\/p>\n
But this time the tripartite liberal, socialist and environmentalist coalition, led since 2013 by Xavier Bettel, 50, will not be able to block their path.<\/p>\n
The Liberals have certainly progressed to 18.7% (+1.8 points), just like the Socialists to 18.9% (+1.3 points). But the Greens fell by almost 7 points, falling to 8.5%. In total, the alliance lost two mandates and was only credited with 29 seats, or less than half of the 60 in the Chamber of Deputies.<\/p>\n
With 21 seats (as in 2018), the social Christians led by former Finance Minister Luc Frieden (60 years old), seemed in a position of strength on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people of Luxembourg have spoken. We have received the clear mandate to lead the next government. The blue-red-green majority no longer exists,\u201d declared Luc Frieden late in the evening.<\/p>\n
This party historically dominates the political life of the Grand Duchy. But the formation of former Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker (1995-2013) was excluded from power following a reversal of alliances ten years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
