Born 3 October 1958 in Dudelange, Bodry lived there since childhood. Coming from a family of socialist tradition (his grandfather Jean Fohrmann, was Member of Parliament and Mayor, union activist, member of the High authority of the ESCS and resistant fighter and his aunt Marthe Bigelbach-Fohrmann, was a socialist Member of Parliament from 1974 to 1979), he entered the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party at the age of 15. After his secondary education at the Lycée des Garçons in Esch-sur-Alzette, he studied law at the Sorbonne University (Paris I) where he passed his master's degree and became lawyer in Luxembourg. Neither his university studies, nor his professional activity as a lawyer cut his links with his home town to which he remains deeply attached.

His commitment to a careful budgetary policy allowed to loosen the indispensable financial and political margins to guarantee investments in the future of Dudelange.
In the same year of 2004 Alex Bodry became national a president of the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party ( LSAP). He also serves as vice-president of the socialist parliamentary group since then. In addition, he is a member of the PES presidency (Party of European Socialists).
