Extract
The year 2014 was characterised by the European elections and the difficult first steps of the three-party coalition headed by the Liberal Xavier Bettel. Some popular resentment for having excluded the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) from government, the poor election returns for the governing parties at the European elections, critiques regarding its governing methods as well as its first budget cuts, and growing tensions in view of the referendum planned for 2015, all contributed to give the new government a very short honeymoon period. One year after the early election of 2013 an opinion poll indicated that only 36 per cent of voters still trusted the coalition in power – a confidence rate in steep decline from December 2013 when it had been measured 63 per cent for the newly appointed cabinet (Luxemburger Wort 2014).
