Could that be because one of your parties adopted that word?
In any case, words have different connotations in different languages. In German, the word Bürger just means member of society. However, if you use the French word bourgeois as an adjective it has a negative connotation. Actually, the adjective bürgerlich often also has a negative connotation, but not always and not as strong as bourgeois.
That’s what Bourgeoisie means anyhow.
