Christos grew up in Luxembourg and attended the European School. His love for Luxembourg City inspired him to become an architect. He is a dedicated European committed to preserving Luxembourg’s influence in Europe.
Passionate about democracy and politics, Christos has been campaigning for Civil Rights, participation and inclusion for years, because he believes Luxembourg’s success requires every one of us.
Christos advocates for a sustainable and empowered Europe, and a stronger Luxembourg that remains a hub for quality employment. He believes, that in this decade, we must defend democratic values, defend Europe, and ensure AI augments our capabilities but does not replace us. His work aims to support a prosperous and democratic Luxembourg, in a strong European Union.
EARLY YEARS
Christos was born in Athens, Greece in 1993 and moved to Luxembourg with his parents in 1994.
Christos’ father, George Floros, first arrived in Luxembourg in 1981, to work for the European Commission, and returned in 1993, to continue contributing to the mission of a united Europe, that would support peace, stability, economic growth and job creation. He pursued this mission with determination and passion, until Parkinson’s disease made it impossible for him to continue.
His mother, Xanthi Bitzeka, left a career in advertising in Greece to follow his father in Luxembourg, and also served the European Commission for nearly two decades.
Growing up in Luxembourg in the 90’s, Christos experienced multiple worlds and cultures. His family was far away, but he had a multicultural and multilingual family (mostly Luxembourgish, Portuguese, Italian, and French), through his neighbours.
At the European School Christos was known as a friendly figure and performed in school plays. He served as President of the Pupils’ Committee, and was always available and at the service of the students.
UNIVERSITY YEARS
Christos studied at the School of Architecture at Oxford Brookes University and became a member of the Oxford Union.
While studying, he founded a political blog called ‘Wordscover‘ for students, to enable commentary on current affairs. In the Summer of 2012, during his bachelor studies, he also took an introduction to International Relations at Harvard, in the USA.
He then pursued theatrical studies, theatre and art being a big passion of his, and in 2017 was seen for the first time on the London stage at the Arcola Theatre in the company of Richard III and in his first authored play, Generation Z or Uncertainty of a Scattered Mind at the Corbett Theatre.
He continued his studies in architecture, European urbanisation and globalisation in Luxembourg, at the University of Luxembourg.
He worked throughout all of his studies, earning valuable, entrepreneurial and diverse experiences.
TODAY & POLITICS
Today Christos is a progressive, pro-European voice within the Democratic Party.
He is a trusted advisor to senior politicians and communicates often with progressive, liberal, green, socialist and conservative politicians, policymakers and political influencers from across the EU, and the Atlantic.
Christos has been leading a movement of Civil Rights, inclusion and representation in Luxembourg, using social media to increase the availability of political discourse exposure to more people in our active population.
A Member of the Democratic Party since 2017, he went on to lead the DP’s International Section, was elected to the Committee of the Centre Constituency, represented Luxembourg in the Conference on the Future of Europe with Renew Europe in 2022, and actively supports the creation of more local sections of the party to increase participation of more people, where it matters most.
He took a year out of party politics in the mid of 2022, and spent a year at the national broadcaster, RTL, hosting the country’s first exclusively political, multilingual talk show. After leaving RTL he was approached by the House of the Grand Duke to assist in Communications, but did not proceed with the role to protect the separation of monarchy and politics.
He now manages online marketing at Talkwalker, Luxembourg’s most successful AI and technology company, and supports Luxembourgish companies in the tech and built environment, to continue showing that Luxembourg can foster technological developments and social innovation.
It has been the rich and varied experiences of Christos’ life – growing up in Luxembourg with people from all over the world, and his studies in the UK and the USA, that have shaped his personal and political journey.
Amid the divisions of today’s public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people – for a Luxembourg, and a Europe that sees and acts on the larger picture, to tackle our greatest, global challenges.
Whether it’s Climate Change, War, Immigration, EU reform and enlargement, Christos Floros continues to speak out on the issues that will define the European Union and our country, Luxembourg, in the 21st century.
A member of the board of Alumni Europaea, and a member of Lions Club International, Syndicat Kirchberg and multiple other organisations, he contributes his time to our local and global communities.
