The slogan “Berlin leben. Mutlu wählen” is virtually the same as the CSV’s “Ons Stad liewen. CSV wielen” (Living our city. Vote CSV). Mutlu had been a member of the Bundestag since 2013, but could not retain his seat in Sunday's elections.

On Sunday 8 October, Luxembourg will vote for local councils, for a 6 year mandate.

Previously, the campaign posters of the DP caused a stir when it emerged that it used the same slogan as the right wing Austrian Freedom Party, “with heart and soul.”

The CSV’s election campaign in Luxembourg City has already experienced some controversy when the graffiti artist Yvlo Stick complained on social media that he had not been consulted on his art being used on the main campaign poster (seen below) which features the lead candidate Serge Wilmes.

The CSV then issued a statement that he was in no way affiliated with the party.
