Carole Dieschbourg

[2] Born in Ettelbruck on 3 October 1977, Dieschbourg matriculated from the Lycée classique d'Echternach in 1997 before studying historical sciences and German at the University of Trier, earning a Master of Arts in 2005.

[1] Interviewed by Romain Van Dyck in the Luxembourg newspaper Le Quotidien on 7 November 2016, she stressed the importance of arriving at a European position at the Climate Conference in Marrakech rather than agreements with individual countries.

While maintaining her innocence, Dieschbourg explained that parliament had crucial matters to attend to, and initiating proceedings against her would consume valuable time.

A preliminary investigation by the Luxembourg public prosecutor’s office to assess whether the case will go to trial had been ongoing since 2019 and a request had been sent to the Chamber of Deputies for a vote on Dieschbourg’s immunity.

In March 2023, the deputies adopted a resolution to lift her immunity and in April 2023 the judicial police started questioning Dieschbourg regarding this matter.
