CSV president has put party 'in an impossible position'

She said that CSV MPs only found out about Frank Engel's contract at the general assembly of "CSV-Frëndeskreess asbl" last week.

In the interest of the party, the deputies sought to avoid reacting too rashly.

They therefore asked for independent legal advice, which was very clear: the MPs had no choice but to report the affair to the public prosecutor.

For Hansen, this isn't a matter of political machinations, but of facts and transparency. While it might be a painful matter, keeping these things under wraps would be worse in the long term, she explained.

Hansen stressed that it was important now to draw a line under the matter, as there are enough other problems to deal with.
