The National Movement was a far-right political party
in Luxembourg
.
The National Movement rose to prominence as a result of the legislative

elections in 1989, when under the leadership of Pierre Peters. In the European elections, it recorded 2.9% of the vote nation-wide.

However, in domestic and European elections, its share of the vote fell, the party failed to win a seat in either election, and it was promptly disbanded.
