This is the composition of the Parliament of the German-speaking Community for the legislative period 2024-2029.
The Parliament of the German-speaking Community has 25 directly elected members. In addition, there are also members with an advisory vote: they may attend meetings, but may not participate in votes or take initiatives. This is an indefinite number and can therefore vary per legislature. These members with an advisory vote are the German-speaking provincial councillors of the province of Liège and German-speaking members of the Chamber of Representatives, the Parliament of Wallonia and the European Parliament.
This legislature follows the German-speaking Community elections of 9 June 2024 and started on 1 July 2024. The opening session was chaired by Freddy Cremer [nl] (ProDG), the oldest member of parliament.
During this legislature, the Paasch III government [nl] is in office, supported by a majority of ProDG, CSP and PFF. The opposition parties are therefore Vivant, SP and Ecolo.
