Roger Negri

Roger Negri (2016)

Roger Negri (born 7. February 1954 in Bettemburg ) is a former Luxembourgish politician of the LSAP and sports official. From 2004 to 2018 he was a member of the Chamber of Deputies , the state parliament and President of the national gymnastics federation until 2012 .

Until he first moved into the Luxembourg House of Representatives in 2004, Negri worked for the state-owned railway company CFL . He has been a member of the LSAP since 1996 and Mamer Schöffe in his place of residence since the beginning of 2000 . Until his resignation in 2012 he was chairman of the national gymnastics federation Fédération luxembourgeoise de Gymnastique (FLGym).

Negri ran for the Luxembourg Parliament in the 2004 , 2009 and 2013 chamber elections. Although he missed direct entry in all three cases, he was able to benefit as a successor from the fact that competitors in front of him had to forego their mandate because they became members of the government or, as in 2004 in the case of Marc Zanussi , only a few days died after the election. During his time in the Chamber he was a member of various parliamentary committees . In its first legislative period he chaired the Environment Committee, in its second the Committee on Agriculture, Viticulture and Rural Development. From August 2004 to June 2009 he was a member of the Advisory Interparliamentary Benelux Council and from January 2007 was its presidency for two years.

In January 2018, Negri announced that he would withdraw from active politics: he would resign his parliamentary mandate on April 1 of that year, after his term of office had expired, he would not run for the office of lay judge again and would not run for the next municipal council election in 2023. The Chamber's successor was Simone Asselborn-Bintz on April 17, 2018 . On January 22, 2019, Negri was elected to the LSAP Advisory Board at a party congress.
