Jean Ersfeld

Jean Ersfeld is a politician from Luxembourg.

Background and political stances

He founded the Free Party of Luxembourg in 2003 and led it in Luxembourg's 2004 [Luxembourg general election|legislative elections in 2004]. None of the FPL's candidates, including Ersfeld, was elected.
Ersfeld, like most of the FPL's candidates, is from the Oesling region of Luxembourg, a sparsely populated area which is characterized by its relative remoteness from the south of Luxembourg. Jean Ersfeld is a local personality with a limited following in that region, who previously stood for election for the leftist Déi Lénk. Since the FPL took an essentially right-wing nationalist position, this marked a notable political metamorphosis for Ersfeld.
After the FPL ceased to function, Ersfeld later ran for the Citizens' [List |Citizens' List] in the 2009 Luxembourg general election.
Subsequently, Ersfeld stood as a candidate for déi Konservativ of politician Joe Thein for the South in the Luxembourg general election, 2018.
