Lawyer, journalist, sportsman and municipal politician, Michel Delvaux has left an important mark on Luxembourg's contemporary history. From the outset, he has been committed to the rights of immigrants and minorities, and has devoted himself at municipal level to the fields of ecology, the family and urban planning. He was a legal adviser to the OGBL and a founding member of ASTI, and quickly rose through the ranks of the LSAP. Appreciated for his qualities as a lawyer, he was appointed by the Minister of State Pierre Werner to the commission of experts for the revision of the constitution.
