Who was the head of Christian Social People's Party from 1982 to 1990?
Christian Social Peoples Party The Christian Social Peoples Party ( , , ) , abbreviated to CSV or PCS , is the largest political party in Luxembourg . The party follows a Christian-democratic ideology and , like most parties in Luxembourg , is strongly pro-European . The CSV is a member of the European Peoples Party ( EPP ) and the Centrist Democrat International ( CDI ) . The CSV has been the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies since the partys formation , and currently holds 23 of 60 seats in the Chamber . Since the Second World War , every Prime Minister of Luxembourg has been a member of the CSV , with only two exceptions : Gaston Thorn ( 1974–1979 ) , and Xavier Bettel ( 2013– ) . It holds three of Luxembourgs six seats in the European Parliament , as it has for 20 of the 30 years for which MEPs have been directly elected . The partys President is since January 2019 Frank Engel . However , the leading figure from the party is the former Prime Minister , Jean-Claude Juncker , who previously governed in coalition with the Luxembourg Socialist Workers Party ( LSAP ) until the 2013 general election . History . The earliest roots of the CSV date back to the foundation of the Party of the Right on 16 January 1914 . In 1944 , the Party of the Right was officially transformed into the CSV . The first elections after the Second World War took place in 1945 ; the party won 25 out of 51 seats , missing an absolute majority by a single seat . From 1945 to 1974 , the party was in government and gave Luxembourg the following Prime Ministers : Pierre Dupong , Joseph Bech , Pierre Frieden , and Pierre Werner . Mostly in coalition with the Democratic Party ( DP ) , it gave Luxembourg a certain economic and social stability . In the 1950s , the party structure underwent a certain democratisation : the partys youth section ( founded in 1953 ) and womens section received representation in the partys central organs . The party went into opposition for the first time in 1974 , when the Democratic Partys Gaston Thorn became Prime Minister in coalition with the Luxembourg Socialist Workers Party ( LSAP ) . In 1979 , the party returned to government after its victory in the 1979 general election ; Pierre Werner became PM . In 1984 , Jacques Santer became PM . He remained as such until 1995 , when Jean-Claude Juncker became PM , with Santer meanwhile taking up the post of President of the European Commission . Following the 2013 general election , the party went into opposition for the second time in its history as the Democratic Partys Xavier Bettel became Prime Minister in coalition with the LSAP and The Greens , making it the first time in Luxembourgs history that a three-party coalition government had been formed . This also marked the first time that The Greens were part of a governmental coalition . Despite remaining the largest party , the result of the 2018 general election represented the lowest public support in the partys history . Party office-holders .
