The former replaces Georges Mischo, who is the new Minister of Labour and of Sport, whilst the latter replaces Minister Gloden, who himself served as Mayor of Grevenmacher until his recent government appointment.
By ministerial decree of 7 December 2023, the following individuals have been appointed aldermen / alderwomen: Bruno Cavaleiro in the City of Esch-sur-Alzette; Liane Felten in Grevenmacher; Laurent Mosar in the City of Luxembourg.
On Thursday at 14:00, the aforementioned parties took the following oath, as prescribed by Article 6 of the amended municipal law of 13 December 1988, in front of Minister Gloden: "I swear to observe the Constitution and the laws and to fulfil my function with integrity, accuracy and impartiality."
