Merde alors!

The Luxembourgish Social Democrat Jean Asselborn is the longest-serving foreign minister in the European Union. With his clear and humanistic stance, pointed language, and sense of humor, he is not only extremely popular among colleagues and media representatives. But how does he maintain his positive image, and how does he act in light of all the ups and downs of the EU? The biography paints a vivid picture of Asselborn and his political career: from his beginnings as the mayor of his hometown Steinfort, through the party leadership of Luxembourgish social democracy, to his role as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Renowned journalist Margaretha Kopeinig vividly portrays the charismatic and dedicated politician, demonstrating how essential clear positions and consistent stances are in turbulent times.
