The Progressive Democratic Party of the North was a political party in Luxembourg.

History

The party was established by liberals in the north of Luxembourg and was linked to the Radical Socialist Party.^[1] It was led by former National Independent Party MP Nicholas Mathieu.^[1]

In the 1931 elections it received 5.3% of the vote, winning a single seat. It did not contest the partial elections of 1934, as its seat was not up for election. By the 1937 elections Mathieu was head of a new party, the Liberal Party.^[1]
