François Bausch

François Bausch (born 16 October 1956 in Luxembourg City) is a Luxembourgish politician. He is a member of the Chamber of Deputies and communal council, and an échevin, of Luxembourg City. He is leader of the Greens in the Chamber.

Bausch was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1989 legislative election. He resigned on 11 October 1992, along with Jean Huss, under the Greens' agreed rotation system, allowing other candidates to serve as deputies. In the 1993 local elections, Bausch was elected to the communal council of Luxembourg City (starting 1 January 1994, and he was returned to the Chamber at the following year's election. In 1999, Bausch finished second to Renée Wagener amongst Greens candidates in the Centre constituency, with those two being elected.

In 1999, Bausch was a founding member of anti-free trade and pro-transaction tax (Tobin Tax) group, ATTAC Luxembourg, and the only member of Luxembourg parliament to do so. In the 2004 election, Bausch came top of the Greens' list by a comfortable distance on an improved result for the party (indeed, he finished fifth amongst all candidates), and was duly returned to the Chamber. On 3 August 2004, Bausch also became leader of the Greens' group in the Chamber. In the 2005 communal elections, the Democratic Party (DP)-Christian Social People's Party (CSV) coalition in Luxembourg City broke down, clearing the way for a DP-Greens cabinet, under which Bausch was appointed échevin.
