Luxembourg: Political Developments and Data in 2024

Abstract At the June 2024 European election, the soft Eurosceptic party that comes closest to the definition of right-wing populist in Luxembourg, the Alternative Democratic Reform Party, won one of the six seats for the first time in its history and joined the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group in the European Parliament. Despite suffering limited losses in its vote share, the Liberal party (Democratic Party/ Demokratesch Partei) only came out third in the election, behind the Christian Socials (Christian-Social People's Party/ Chrëschtlech-Sozial Vollekspartei ) and the Socialists (Luxembourg Socialist People's Party/ Lëtzebuerger Sozialistesch Aarbechterpartei ), and lost its second seat in the European Parliament. The DP had received the largest electoral support in the 2019 European election and remained a coalition partner in government after the 2023 national election.
