  • Luxembourg 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    LUXEMBOURG 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution guarantees freedom of religion, including the right to practice it in public and manifest religious opinions, and prohibits compulsory participation in religious services or observance of religious groups’ days of rest. The judiciary upheld a ruling that appointed an external administrator to organize and monitor general assemblies and elections within the Protestant Consistory, the Protestant community’s leading interlocutor with the government. The main pastor of the Protestant community criticized the ruling, and two other court decisions, as infringing on its religious freedom; the consistory later revised its laws to obviate the appointment of a general assembly organizer. In February the government established a working group on outstanding Holocaust asset issues affecting noncitizens and stateless persons. In July parliament enacted a resolution calling on the government to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism; the government had not done so by year’s end. In March the government assumed the chairmanship of the IHRA. The president of the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Research and Information on Anti-Semitism in Luxembourg (RIAL), said it had registered 47 anti-Semitic incidents in the first six months of the year, compared with 26 in all of 2018. In December 2018, the national report of the NGO Islamophobia Observatory in Luxembourg (OIL), based on 2018 data, stated 60 percent of Muslims surveyed believed “Islamophobia” was present in the country, and 21 percent said they had experienced anti-Islamic incidents in 2018; 82 percent said Muslims were well integrated into society.

  • Political Developments and Data in 2018
    European Journal of Political Research Political Data Yearbook 0: 1–10, 2019 1 doi: 10.1111/2047-8852.12244 Luxembourg: Political developments and data in 2018 RAPHAËL KIES,1 PATRICK DUMONT2 &DANSCHMIT1 1University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg; 2Australian National University, Australia Introduction The 2018 political year was dominated by the parliamentary elections on 14 October 2018. The general expectation was that the Christian Democrats (CSV), who had been in opposition since 2013, would win the election and return to government. In the end, they lost votes and the incumbent coalition of Liberals (DP), Social Democrats (LSAP) and Greens (Déi Gréng) could maintain its majority, allowing the three parties to continue for a second term. These elections also led to the rise of the Pirate Party. On the legislative front, several bills on the government’s legislative agenda were voted on by Parliament. Election report Parliamentary elections took place on 14 October 2018 at the end of the first term with the CSV in opposition since 1979. After suffering losses at the 2013 election (Dumont & Kies 2014), polls suggested that the CSV would win votes and that no coalition without the party would be possible. Final polls in June 2018 indicated that due to a collapse in socialist and liberal votes, the incumbent coalition would no longer have a majority in Parliament, largely due to a CSV that would win back the seats lost in 2013, and that the preferred coalition option was CSV–Greens, given the expected good results for the smallest of the coalition parties. Another party that was expected to benefit from the election, following the electoral successes of populist parties in neighbouring countries, was the Democratic Reform Party (ADR) with its conservative and sovereigntist programme centred around the defence of national identity and language.
