International]].

The CSV has been the largest party in the [[Chamber of Deputies of Luxembourg|Chamber of Deputies]] since the party's formation, and currently holds 21 of 60 seats in the Chamber. Since the [[World War II|Second World War]], every [[Prime Minister of Luxembourg]] has been a member of the CSV, with only two exceptions:  [[Gaston Thorn]] (1974–1979), and [[Xavier Bettel]] (2013&ndash;2023). It holds two of [[Luxembourg (European Parliament constituency)|Luxembourg]]'s six seats in the [[European Parliament]], as it has for 14 of the 44 years for which [[Member of the European Parliament|MEPs]] have been directly elected.

The party's [[#Presidents|President]] has been Prime Minister [[Luc Frieden]] since March 2024. A leading figure from the party is the former [[Prime Minister of Luxembourg|prime minister]], [[Jean-Claude Juncker]], who previously governed [[Juncker-Asselborn II Government|in coalition with]] the [[Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party]] (LSAP) until the [[Luxembourg general election, 2013|2013 general election]].

==History==
[[File:Santer Frieden Juncker.jpg|thumb|[[Jacques Santer]] (1984–1995), [[Luc Frieden]] (2023–) and [[Jean-Claude Juncker]] (1995–2013), the three living [[List of prime ministers of Luxembourg|prime ministers of Luxembourg]] from the CSV.]]
The earliest roots of the CSV date back to the foundation of the [[Party of the Right (Luxembourg)|Party of the Right]] on 16 January 1914.

In December 1944, the Party of the Right was officially transformed into the Luxembourg Christian Social People's Party. "Luxembourg" was dropped from the name by late March 1945. The first elections after the Second World War took place in 1945; the party won 25 out of 51 seats, missing an absolute majority by a single seat.

From 1945 to 1974, the party was in government and gave Luxembourg the following Prime Ministers: [[Pierre Dupong]], [[Joseph Bech]], [[Pierre Frieden]], and [[Pierre Werner]]. Mostly in coalition with the [[Democratic Party (Luxembourg)|Democratic Party]] (DP), it gave Luxembourg a certain economic and social stability.

In the 1950s, the party structure underwent a certain democratisation: the party's youth section (founded in 1953) and women's section received representation in the party's central organs.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Geschicht|url = https://csv.lu/eis-partei/wee-mir-sinn/parti_historique/|website = CSV.lu|access-date = 2015-12-16}}</ref>

The party went into opposition for the first time in 1974, when the Democratic Party's [[Gaston Thorn]] became Prime Minister in coalition with the [[Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party]] (LSAP). In 1979, the party returned to government after its victory in the [[Luxembourg general election, 1979|1979 general election]]; [[Pierre Werner]] became PM.

In 1984, [[Jacques Santer]] became PM. He remained as such until 1995, when [[Jean-Claude Juncker]] became PM, with Santer meanwhile taking up the post of President of the European Commission.

Following the [[Luxembourg general election, 2013|2013 general election]], the party went into opposition for the second time in its history as the Democratic Party's [[Xavier Bettel]] became Prime Minister in coalition with the LSAP and [[The Greens (Luxembourg)|The Greens]], making it the first time in Luxembourg's history that a three-party coalition government had been formed. This also marked the first time that The Greens were part of a governmental coalition. Despite remaining the largest party, the result of the [[Luxembourg general election, 2018|2018 general election]] represented the lowest public support in the party's history.

As of 2023, CSV is against making [[luxembourgish]] an [[Languages of the European Union|official language in the european insititutions]], citing that [[French language|french]] and [[German language|german]] already being official languages is enough for the needs of Luxembourg.<ref>{{Cite web |title= |url=https://www.actioun-letzebuergesch.lu/files/publicatiounen/202310-walen.pdf}}</ref>
