After 35 years of public service, François Bausch, MP of the The Greens and former minister for mobility and defense, has handed in his resignation.

Bausch announced Tuesday he is making way for Djuna Bernard. Bernard was the youngest MP ever to sit in the Chamber of Deputies between 2018 and 2023, at just 26 years old, but lost her seat following the elections.

François Bausch is 67 years old and was responsible for mobility, internal security and defense for 10 years.

Between 2019 and 2023 he was also Deputy Prime Minister in the blue-red-green government under Xavier Bettel.

Bausch will retire from politics and spend more time with his family, the press release reads.
