Christos Floros (born 13 November 1993) is a Greek-born Luxembourgish entrepreneur and politician of the Democratic Party (DP).[1][2][3][4][5]

Biography

[edit]

Early life

[edit]

Floros was born in Athens, Greece, in 1993 and moved to Luxembourg with his parents in 1994.[6] His father, who had previously worked for the European Commission in the 1980s, decided to relocate the family to Luxembourg.[7]

Floros attended the European School, Luxembourg I, where he served as President of the Pupils' Committee.[8][9]

Education

[edit]

Floros studied architecture at Oxford Brookes University in Oxford,[10][11] and completed a master's degree in Architecture, European Urbanisation and Globalisation at the University of Luxembourg.[12] He also undertook studies at Harvard University and the Pratt Institute.[13]

Between 2015 and 2018, Floros trained as an actor at the East 15 Acting School of the University of Essex, where he wrote his first play, Generation Z or Uncertainty of a Scattered Mind.[14][15][16][17]

Professional career

[edit]

After graduating from the East 15 Acting School, Floros worked as an actor in London, appearing primarily in stage productions.[18][19][unreliable source?]

Between 2022 and 2023, he worked for RTL in Luxembourg, covering news and political topics.[20][21] He also produced and hosted Conversations with Christos, a series of interviews with Luxembourgish public figures, including Vice-President of the European Parliament Marc Angel,[22] former Deputy Prime Minister Colette Flesch,[23] and Mayor of Luxembourg City Lydie Polfer.[24] His work at RTL frequently addressed immigration and integration issues in Luxembourg.[23]

As of 2023, Floros has worked in Luxembourg’s technology sector and in social media analytics.[25][26]

In 2025, Floros announced that he was leading Monnett, an initiative aimed at developing a European social media platform.[27][28][29][30][31][32] According to Floros, the project seeks to challenge Meta Platforms’ dominance in online social networks.[33][34][35]

Politics and civil rights

[edit]

In Luxembourg, Floros is known for using both social media and traditional media to promote political discourse.[7][36][37][38][39]

In 2022, he was one of Luxembourg’s representatives at the Conference on the Future of Europe.

In 2023, Floros founded Change for Luxembourg,[40] a non-partisan political movement aiming to include more residents in Luxembourgish politics. He has stated that the idea was inspired by his volunteering experience during the COVID-19 pandemic: “half of the volunteers were Luxembourgers, the other half foreigners.”[7] According to Floros, this experience highlighted how people across communities mobilised for Luxembourg’s national interest, motivating his advocacy for broader political participation.[1][41]

In 2024, the Democratic Party (DP) announced that Floros would run on its list for the 2024 European Parliament election alongside Charles Goerens,[42], as one of three members of the Democratic and Liberal Youth (JDL) running.[43][44] Floros came last out of the DP's six candidates, obtaining 28,874 and failing to be elected.[45]

During the campaign, Floros advocated for strengthening cybersecurity as part of Europe’s collective defence,[46][47] promoted strategic autonomy, and supported increased investment in artificial intelligence research within Europe.[48]

Floros is considered a progressive figure within the Democratic Party and supports a strongly pro-European platform.[49][9] In October 2024, he was elected president of DP International, the international branch of the Democratic Party.[25][50][51] Floros is a member of the Party’s Steering Committee.[52]
