politics

Arendt has been a member of the DP since 1980. In the local elections in 1992 he was first elected to the Walferdingen municipal council. From 2000 to 2002 he acted as an alderman and then as mayor until December 2015. His successor in this office was Joëlle Elvinger .

In the 2013 parliamentary elections , Arendt made it into the Chamber of Deputies in the Mitte electoral district, benefiting as a successor from the fact that, with Xavier Bettel and Corinne Cahen, two who were placed before him, moved into the government and had to forego their mandate due to the applicable incompatibility rules. After Maggy Nagel resigned , Arendt himself became a member of the government as State Secretary for Culture in December 2015, and Claude Lamberty took over his seat in the Chamber .

In the next election in 2018 , Arendt was directly elected to the chamber. He was only able to take his seat after the formation of the new government , to which he no longer belonged. In parliament, Arendt is a member of several committees , and he chairs those for medium-sized businesses and tourism as well as for digitization, media and communication.
