Claire Delcourt is one of those faces who have brought a breath of fresh air to the sometimes rather dusty Chamber since the last parliamentary elections. We spoke to the now not-so-new LSAP MP.
When we meet Claire Delcourt in the LSAP parliamentary group, it has just started to rain. The photo session that we had planned to do in the government district was therefore more or less cancelled – more or less because it was still enough for a quick photo outside.
However, the 36-year-old from Düdelingen, who is expecting her second child, is in a great mood despite the miserable weather. The way she talks so spontaneously and freely, you can tell that she is still relatively new to politics and has managed to retain her curiosity.
Hardly anyone expected her to make it into parliament in her second election (she was already a candidate in a parliamentary election in 2018) as the third elected member in the centre district, finishing ahead of long-time LSAP MP Cécile Hemmen and Santés Director Jean-Claude Schmit, who was in the media almost every day during the coronavirus pandemic – least of all herself. In contrast to her party colleague Liz Braz, the other shooting star of the LSAP, who was already highly touted in the run-up to the pandemic, no one really had Claire Delcourt on their radar.
