Liberal Party (Luxembourg)

The Liberal Party (Luxembourg), known as the Demokratesch Partei (DP) in Luxembourgish and Demokratische Partei (DP) in German (both meaning "Democratic Party"), is a liberal political party in Luxembourg.

The DP advocates for a market economy with social responsibility and individual freedoms. Key policy positions generally include lower taxes, reduced bureaucracy, greater environmental protection through market-based mechanisms, and support for European integration.

Historically, the DP emerged from liberal traditions in Luxembourgish politics. It has been a consistent presence in Luxembourg's parliament, the Chamber of Deputies, and has frequently participated in governing coalitions.

The party's leadership structure typically includes a president, vice-presidents, and a secretary-general. The DP maintains a youth wing and other affiliated organizations. Its electoral performance has varied over time, but it remains a significant force in Luxembourgish politics, often acting as a kingmaker in coalition negotiations. The party is affiliated with the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) at the European level.
