At the local council meeting from the 22.05.2024, the DP voted against the College of Aldermen’s proposal to name a place in the village center of Contern after Luc Frieden.
We respect the person of Luc Frieden and the work he is doing as Prime Minister of Luxembourg. However, the naming of places or streets should be viewed as a posthumous honor to recognize a person’s achievements. The few streets in the country that bear the name of a living politician were also named after the end of their political career.
We don’t see why this should be handled differently in Contern.
