Radical Liberal Party (Luxembourg)

The Radical Liberal Party (French: Parti Radical Libéral, German: Radikal-Liberale Partei, Luxembourgish: Radikal-Liberal Partei) was a liberal political party in Luxembourg that existed from 1932 to 1945. It was formed from a merger of the Radical Party and the Liberal League.

The party occupied a centre-left position in Luxembourgish politics, advocating for social reforms, secularism, and a more democratic government. It drew support from both urban and rural areas and represented a significant force in the Chamber of Deputies during its existence.

Key policies and objectives included promoting free and compulsory education, separating church and state, and advancing social legislation to protect workers' rights and improve living conditions. The party also championed individual liberties and a more modern, progressive society.

During World War II and the German occupation of Luxembourg, the Radical Liberal Party, along with other political organizations, was effectively suppressed. Following the liberation of Luxembourg in 1945, the party was dissolved and its members largely joined the Democratic Group (later the Democratic Party).

The Radical Liberal Party played an important role in shaping Luxembourg's political landscape in the interwar period, contributing to the development of its social and political institutions. While short-lived, it left a lasting legacy on the development of liberalism in Luxembourg.
