The Pirate Party Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Piratepartei Lëtzebuerg, German: Piratenpartei Luxemburg, French: Parti pirate du Luxembourg) is a registered political party in Luxembourg. The party follows the pirate doctrine developed by the Swedish Piratpartiet. It champions citizen's rights, improved data protection and privacy for physical persons, more transparency of government, free access to information and education. Beyond this, it calls for an in-depth overhaul of copyright and patent law, and is opposed to all kinds of censorship. A fundamental principle is grass roots democracy, which gives the possibility to each member to help shape the future of the party. Like most parties in Luxembourg, the pirate party is strongly pro-European. It is a member of Pirate Parties International, the umbrella organization of the international Pirate Party movement.[3]
The Pirate Party Luxembourg was founded in Luxemburg City on October 4, 2009.[1][4]. It's membership evolved from 14 founding-members to 195[2] (on November 28, 2011). Alongside with the Citizens' List and the Communist Party, it is currently not represented in the Chamber of Deputies.
The President is Sven Clement, who is also a member of Pirate Party Germany. Another prominent figure is Jerry Weyer, vice-president and co-founder of the party who is also head member of Pirate Parties International (PPI)[5]. The treasurer is Andy Maar.
