The National Movement rose to prominence as a result of the legislative and European elections in 1989, when under the leadership of Pierre Peters.
In the European elections, it recorded 2.9% of the vote nationwide.
They came at the height of a wave of indiscriminate racist attacks, neo-Nazi demonstrations in Luxembourg,[citation needed] and it was suggested that the National Movement may capitalise by winning a seat in the Chamber of Deputies.
However, in domestic and European elections, its share of the vote fell, the party failed to win a seat in either election, and it was promptly disbanded.
