Who is Luc Frieden?
Luc Frieden is a Luxembourgish politician for the Christian Social People's Party. He was Minister for Justice and Minister for the Treasury and Budget from 1998 to 2009, and has been Minister for Finances since 23 July 2009.
In the capacity of Minister for the Treasury and Budget, Frieden was responsible for the successful introduction of the euro as replacement for the Luxembourgish franc. Since then, many of his responsibilities, as minister for both the Treasury and Justice, have related to the fall-out from the Clearstream Affair. Frieden is seen as one of the potential successors for the present Prime Minister, Jean-Claude Juncker.
In early 2007, speaking after an EU debate on violent video games, Frieden suggested that "Access to children should be cut off ... We have to ban some games".
