Engel controversy: Jean-Claude Juncker was never asked for advice
When asked about the dispute between Frank Engel and the parliamentary group of the Christian Social People s Party (CSV), Juncker stated that his party had acted like an adult with adolescent reflexes .
The denunciation of the CSV s ex-president to the public prosecutor s office because of an employment contract with the CSV association Frëndeskrees had made him angry , the former Prime Minister explained.
Claude Wiseler has filed official paperwork to be considered as a candidate for the presidency of the CSV party, which is coming up to a vote on 24 April.
CSV president Frank Engel in March stepped down from his post amid a controversy surrounding a job contract with a party-affiliated charity. This followed disputes within the party about policies, including wealth and inheritance taxes.
The leadership crisis of the country’s biggest group in parliament could soon be a thing of the past, however.
Wiseler, a member of parliament and the party’s pick for the prime ministership in the 2018 elections, submitted his candidacy on Thursday morning, putting an entire team up for election.
