    To Renew Europe we must win people’s trust and attention in the 2024 European Elections

    This decade, we must defend democratic values and ensure we are still able to excerpt influence globally, as a united Europe.

    We must encourage our compatriots to vote, to show a strong democratic Luxembourg voice, for a strong European Union.

    We should offer a programme that is pragmatic, and calls for European unity, cooperation and European compromise, so that we can continue working together, in the face of global challenges.

    Our Party must ensure that the EU remains globally competitive, able to defend itself, and driven by the potential that lies in our future instead of what the Conservatives and Nationalists are trying to offer us, which is inspired from an illusion of our past, and is a road to nowhere.

    The only way to be able to do any of that, is to ensure our Renew Europe / ALDE / Liberal group remains strong. And that means offering something substantial, something our fellow Luxembourgers, and Europeans, here and across Europe, can believe we can work towards. It means offering new hope, new direction, and communicating that intention effectively.

    If we don’t, the polls that show us disappearing from the European pedestal, will materialize in June.

    So let us work together, to become the guarantors of our common European destiny.

  • Why We Should Care About the European Elections

    Why We Should Care About the European Elections

    The European Parliament and the Need for Renewal

    In the labyrinth of European politics, Luxembourg, and its role in the European Union (EU) is anything but minor. It’s here, in the European Parliament, that Luxembourg’s influence and the quality of its representation truly matter, especially during these tumultuous times.

    The European Parliament may not have the immediate glamour of, say, the European Commission, but it’s the beating heart of the EU’s democratic soul. While the European Commission might be the executive branch of the EU, the Parliament is where the people’s voices come to life. Every five years, during the European elections, citizens across the EU cast their votes to elect Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and Luxembourg dispatches six MEPs to join the assembly.

    The European Parliament carries a trifecta of crucial roles: legislation, oversight, and representation. It is the keystone of the EU’s decision-making, contributing to legislation that can affect the lives of millions, overseeing the activities of other EU institutions, and representing the myriad voices that echo within the EU’s diverse boundaries.

    Luxembourg’s role in the EU is not just symbolic; it’s pivotal. The policies and regulations devised within the hallowed halls of the European Parliament cast long shadows on our everyday lives. Whether it’s trade, environmental protections, workers’ rights, or consumer safeguards, the Parliament has a direct hand in crafting the rules that shape our existence. For Luxembourg, whose economic well-being is closely entwined with international trade and finance, decisions concerning the single market, financial regulations, and cross-border transactions are of existential importance.

    Moreover, the Parliament steers the course on environmental and climate policies, a topic that reverberates deeply within Luxembourg, as we are a country committed to sustainability and a key player in the EU’s climate ambitions. The European Parliament basically wields a substantial influence on the issues that matter most to us.

    Luxembourg, harbors an unshakeable allegiance to the European project. This allegiance goes beyond the economic calculus; it’s rooted in the belief that unity, cooperation, and shared values are the bedrock of European integration. Amidst the cacophony of nationalistic fervor that’s swept the continent, Luxembourg serves as a stalwart advocate for further European integration.

    Our multicultural country with its multilingual reality epitomises the diversity and openness the EU stands for. It’s a symbol of unity and cooperation, where different cultures and languages harmoniously coexist. This very spirit is what the EU was designed to foster, and Luxembourg is living proof of its success.

    Next year, I hope with more EU residents than ever before registering to vote, we can begin to represent this success and reality at the Parliament. In these turbulent times for Europe, where geopolitical storms, economic uncertainties, migration, and climate change loom large, Luxembourg’s role in the European Parliament becomes all the more critical. It’s imperative that we send representatives who are not only competent but also ardently committed to the cause of a united Europe.

    We must be champions of dialogue, master negotiators, and adept at building alliances to resolve the pressing issues that affect all of us. Navigating the labyrinth of EU decision-making is an art, and our MEPs must be the maestros.

    But it doesn’t stop at competence. Our representatives should harbor an unyielding passion for addressing Luxembourg’s unique challenges. With its compact size and prominence as a financial hub, Luxembourg needs MEPs who can passionately advocate for our specific interests while aligning with the broader European vision.

    Luxembourg’s voice may be modest in volume, but it should resonate with resounding expertise and conviction within the European Parliament both in Strasbourg, and Brussels.
