The Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerger Sozialistesch Aarbechterpartei, French: Parti ouvrier socialiste luxembourgeois, ‹See Tfd›German: Luxemburger Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei), abbreviated to LSAP or POSL,[9] is a social democratic,[1][2][3][4] pro-European[3] political party in Luxembourg. The LSAP sits on the centre-left of the political spectrum.
The LSAP is the third-largest party in the Chamber of Deputies, having won 11 of 60 seats at the 2023 general election, and has one seat in the European Parliament. Since March 2022, the party's President have been Francine Closener and Dan Biancalana.[10]
The party is close to the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions, the country's largest trade union centre, but they have no formal links.[11] The LSAP is particularly strong in the south of the country,[11] controlling most of the mayoralties in the large towns of the Red Lands. It is affiliated with the Socialist International, the Progressive Alliance, and the Party of European Socialists.
