Life

Born on March 24, 1964 in Clervaux , Durdu is a lawyer by profession and holds a Diplôme d'études approfondies , specializing in European law . She lives in the village of Heisdorf , the law firm in which she works is in the state capital .

In June 2000 Durdu received the Order of Merit of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the "Officer" class. On April 7, 2006, she was appointed a member of the Council of State in place of the resigned Carlo Meintz . Durdu has been Vice-President since June 19, 2015, and on April 1, 2019, she took over the chairmanship of the committee from Georges Wivenes . Her mandate in the State Council ends in 2021.

politics

In the local elections in October 1993, Durdu was elected to the Wintger municipal council and surprisingly received the highest number of votes; from January 1994 she was mayor there. Durdu had to give up the office again in 2004, but she remained a member of the council. In the local elections in 2011, she last joined the body, and in 2017 she decided not to run again.

In the chamber elections in June 1994 Durdu ran in the constituency of the north, but ended up in third place behind Charles Goerens and Emile Calmes in two mandates won by the DP there . As the first successor , she was able to benefit from the fact that Goerens moved to the EU Parliament after the European elections in October 1994 , after Lydie Polfer and Colette Flesch had resigned . In the 1999 election she moved up again for Goerens, as he moved to the government and had to give up his mandate due to the statutory incompatibility regulation. In the 2004 chamber elections , the same order was used for the third time in the north. Since the DP suffered significant losses, left the government and both Goerens and Calmes fulfilled their mandate, Durdu was denied entry into the chamber.

In October 2004 Durdu was elected the new general secretary of her party, here she was able to prevail against Eugène Berger . She was seen as a bearer of hope in the context of a staff renewal that followed the election result of the chamber election. She gave up the post after a little over a year after she had been nominated for the State Council. Her successor was the previous Vice President Georges Gudenburg. In the 2009 election , Durdu only ended up in seventh place, after which she refrained from further candidacies.
