Alex Bodry

Alex Bodry (born 3 October 1958) is a politician from Luxembourg. Life and career Born 3 October 1958 in Dudelange, Bodry lived there since childhood. Coming from a family of socialist tradition (his grandfather Jean Fohrmann, was Member of Parliament and Mayor, union activist, member of the High authority of the ESCS and resistant fighter and his aunt Marthe Bigelbach-Fohrmann, was a socialist Member of Parliament from 1974 to 1979), he entered the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party at the age of 15. After his secondary education at the Lycée des Garçons in Esch-sur-Alzette, he studied law at the Sorbonne University (Paris I) where he passed his master's degree and became lawyer in Luxembourg. Neither his university studies, nor his professional activity as a lawyer cut his links with his home town to which he remains deeply attached. Elected in 1982 a local councillor at the age of twenty three years only, Alex Bodry remained in the municipal council until 1989 when he joined the Government. Alongside his local work, Alex Bodry began a national political career which led him in 1984 to become a Member of Parliament and in 1989 a member of the Government. He was elected - until now - four times at the "Chambre des Députés", the first time at the age of 25.
