“More modern. Closer. More colourful. That’s what we are,” said the party’s president Claude Wiseler about the new logo. The Christian democrat opposition party aims to convey its position as “varied” but also “conscious of traditions.”
2023 is a double-election year, with local elections take place on 11 June and national parliament elections in October. The CSV wants to return to government after being ousted by the DP-LSAP-Déi Gréng coalition in 2013. The party had previously been in power since 1979.
During the national congress on 11 June, members also talked about future goals. Wiseler during the conference stated: “We make politics for the wellbeing of the citizens.” He added for a “free, sustainable and social market” where environmental goals are reached through innovation and not through “limitations and deindustrialisation.”

Ahead of the elections, the CSV also decided to open its electoral lists to candidates who are not members of the party. The objective is to strengthen and consolidate the presence of the CSV in the country's municipalities. This presence is already strong as 78 Luxembourg mayors are members of the party.
The list of CSV candidates for the next elections will be decided on 11 January 2023.
