Despite many Basel women: fewer women in the Federal Palace

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

These women will represent Basel in Bern in the future: Patricia von Falkenstein, Sibel Arslan, Eva Herzog, Katja Christ and Sarah Wyss.

Something historic happened in Basel-Stadt on Sunday. In the future, the canton will only send women to Federal Bern: Patricia von Falkenstein (62, LDP), Sibel Arslan (43, Basta), Sarah Wyss (35, SP), Katja Christ (51, GLP) take part in the National Council for Basel Eva Herzog (61) defended her seat in the Council of States.

With Regina Durrer-Knobel (52), the canton of Nidwalden sends a woman to the National Council for the first time. And the canton of Schwyz, Petra Gössi (47), brought a councilor to Bern for the first time.

Viewed across Switzerland, the situation does not look so rosy. Women’s umbrella organization Alliance F assumes that three fewer seats will be occupied by women in the future than in the 2019 elections. The elections went down in history at the time as women’s elections.

At the time of going to press it was not yet clear how large the share of women is in the entire parliament. Much will also depend on the outcome of the second round of elections for the Council of States. But it is unlikely that women will have made a leap forward as they did four years ago.

There can no longer be a young wave like 2019. At that time, many people under the age of 30 entered parliament, including Andri Silberschmidt (29), Tamara Funiciello (33), Mike Egger (31) and others. By 2023, the age of the new ones will be significantly older. This means that the average age in the National Council and the Council of States will probably rise again. You could also say here. Everything is back to normal.
