Xavier BETTEL, former Luxembourg Prime Minister and the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. Born 3 March 1973. A Luxembourg politician who has been Prime Minister of Luxembourg since 2013 for two consecutive terms. Mr. BETTEL is a member of the Democratic Party and has previously served as Mayor of Luxembourg City, and was also a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Following the 2018 Luxembourg general election he became the first openly gay Prime Minister in the world to be re-elected for a second term.

FAD – Fathers Against Discrimination a.s.b.l. in March 2021 sent a letter to Prime Minister BETTEL highlighting gender bias and discriminatory practices against fathers in the Luxembourg Family Courts. No proper actions have ever been taken by the former Prime Minister during the 8 years of reign to assure the rights of Luxembourg children of equal or as equal as possible access to both parents after separation are respected in Luxembourg. Another legacy in addition to making gay marriages and adoption of children by couples of the same sex legal.
