As soon as the new CSV-DP government takes office, the LSAP will take the helm as the largest opposition party in terms of the number of elected members.
Heading the LSAP parliamentary group will be Taina Bofferding, the outgoing Minister for Home Affairs and Equality between Women and Men.
Assisting her as Vice-Chairwoman will be Paulette Lenert, the outgoing Deputy Prime Minister.
Bofferding, elected second on the LSAP list for the South constituency on 8 October, expressed eagerness and motivation in assuming her new role. Despite expressing regret that the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) did not engage in discussions with LSAP post-election, Bofferding pledged not to dwell on the matter.
The primary focus of the opposition’s efforts, according to Bofferding, will be “the progress of society as a whole.” She also criticised the lack of transparency from Luc Frieden, arguing that the CSV politician has yet to provide substantial details on the coalition agreement between the CSV and the Democratic Party (DP).
Regarding the potential return of Jean Asselborn to the Chamber of Deputies, Bofferding refrained from commenting on the future of the outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs, leaving it to the latter to announce his decision.
In the event that Asselborn opts not to become a Member of Parliament, Yves Cruchten is likely to take his seat. Cruchten, who received around 2,800 fewer votes than Liz Braz in the South constituency, was not directly elected to the Chamber of Deputies on 8 October.
