She is an asset manager, national councillor, president of the Geneva SVP and vice president of SVP Switzerland. Now there is one more task for Céline Amaudruz (44): The politician becomes a mother.
Presenter Nathalie Ducommun announced the baby news on Sunday in French-speaking Switzerland RTS. Then answer the question what that means for your election campaign. How is she going to reconcile all this?
‘I’m not the first pregnant woman to work’
“Being pregnant is not a disease. I’m not the first pregnant woman to work’, says Amaudruz with a smile. She will relinquish the presidency of the canton party at the end of the year. But finally there is also her husband, Michael Andersen (32) – who also wants to run for SVP for the National Council. The couple married two years ago.
Walliser SP councilor Sarah Constantin (32), who followed the debate in the room, reacted furiously to the journalist’s question. She later wrote on Twitter that she was “shocked” by the question of how she wanted to reconcile private and professional life. This question to a woman is “sexist and archaic”.
“One would just have congratulated a man”
She too has heard this question, Constantin tells Blick. That always excited her. “As if Céline Amaudruz couldn’t make the decision to start a family and pursue a career at the same time – be it in politics or business. If it had been a man, you would have just congratulated him.”
RTS journalist Nathalie Ducommun cannot understand the excitement. It was agreed with Amaudruz to discuss the pregnancy. Amaudruz himself did not respond to a request from Blick.
Descendants in the Federal Palace
In any case, the woman from Geneva is in good company with her deceased motherhood in the Federal Palace. SVP colleague Barbara Steinemann from Zurich recently became a mother for the first time at the age of 46. The Bernese FDP National Councilor Christa Markwalder was the same age when she gave birth to her first child last year. (lha/god)
