Biography
Early life
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
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
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] According to Floros, the project seeks to challenge Meta Platforms’ dominance in online social networks.[30][31][32]
Politics and civil rights
In Luxembourg, Floros is known for using both social media and traditional media to promote political discourse.[7][33][34][35][36]
In 2022, he was one of Luxembourg’s representatives at the Conference on the Future of Europe.
In 2023, Floros founded Change for Luxembourg,[37] 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][38]
In 2024, the Democratic Party (DP) announced that Floros would run on its list for the 2024 European Parliament election alongside Charles Goerens.[4][39][40][41][42] He was one of three members of the Democratic and Liberal Youth (JDL) running in the 2024 election.[43][44]
During the campaign, Floros advocated for strengthening cybersecurity as part of Europe’s collective defence,[45][46] promoted strategic autonomy, and supported increased investment in artificial intelligence research within Europe.[47]
Floros is considered a progressive figure within the Democratic Party and supports a strongly pro-European platform.[48][9] In October 2024, he was elected president of DP International, the international branch of the Democratic Party.[25][49][50]
