The key issue for Luxembourg in the EP elections is not the national vote, but whether Juncker can win the contest for Commission President

摘要

Luxembourg traditionally holds national elections at the same time as European elections. As Martine Huberty writes, however, the 2014 vote will mark uncharted territory as the country was forced into holding snap elections in October last year. She argues that while the national vote is relatively difficult to predict at this stage, the key issue for the country is likely to be determined elsewhere, with Luxembourg’s former Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker also standing for Commission President.
