After a trip to Paris on Monday, Luxembourg's new Prime Minister Xavier Bettel is no doubt grinding his teeth if he heard the rather direct hard-hitting and critical portrait of himself broadcast on French national radio station “France Culture”.

(ADW) After a trip to Paris on Tuesday, Luxembourg's new Prime Minister Xavier Bettel is no doubt grinding his teeth if he heard the rather direct hard-hitting and critical portrait of himself broadcast on French national radio station “France Culture”

The start of the broadcast set the tone. "Young, gay, without any previous ministerial experience, Xavier Bettel has, on paper, really nothing to please the largely conservative views of the aging population of Luxembourg.”
