ElectionsThe Pirate Party Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Piratepartei Lëtzebuerg, German: Piratenpartei Luxemburg, French: Parti pirate du Luxembourg) is a registered political party in Luxembourg. The party follows the pirate doctrine developed by the Swedish Piratpartiet and, like most parties in Luxembourg, it is strongly pro-European. It is a member of Pirate Parties International, the umbrella organization of the international Pirate Party movement.[3]
The Pirate Party Luxembourg was founded in Luxemburg City on October 4, 2009.[1][4]. It's membership evolved from 14 founding-members to 90[2] (on February 16, 2011). Alongside with the Citizens' List and the Communist Party, it is currently not represented in the Chamber of Deputies.
The President is Sven Clement, who is also a member of Pirate Party Germany. Another prominent figure is Jerry Weyer, vice-president and co-founder of the party who is also head member of Pirate Parties International (PPI)[5].
