Life

Alma Zadić was born in Tuzla, where she also attended elementary school. Her father was a university professor of electrical engineering , her mother worked as a building inspector for the municipality. During the Bosnian War , the family fled to Austria with ten-year-old Alma Zadić. In Vienna she attended the Ortnergasse elementary school and the Ettenreichgasse secondary school . From 2003 she studied law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Vienna . She spent a semester abroad at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza . In 2007 she completed her studies as a Magistra. Subsequently, she worked at the International Organization for Migration in Vienna and as an intern at the International War Crimes Tribunal in the former Yugoslavia in The Hague . She then completed her court year in Vienna. In the academic year 2009/10 she completed her LL.M. at Columbia University in New York. -Education. She then stayed as visiting scholar and editor-in-chief at Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment in New York.

From 2011 to 2015 she worked as an associate and from November 24, 2015 to August 2017 as an attorney and senior associate at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer (FBD), an international law firm based in London with offices in 17 countries. She worked in the law firm in the area of ​​conflict resolution. On the occasion of her candidacy for the National Council, she ended her work at FBD in August 2017 and was removed from the list of lawyers. She then obtained her doctorate in law from the University of Vienna in 2017 .

Zadić has been a member of the Global Shapers Community , a worldwide association of young people who want to take responsibility for the planet , since 2013 .

Alma Zadić was elected as a member of the Austrian National Council on the Pilz list in 2017 . She joined the Greens in July 2019 , was placed fifth on the Green federal list for the 2019 National Council election and was re-elected to the National Council in September. After the election, she negotiated the first coalition agreement between the ÖVP and the Greens at the federal level. In January 2020 she became Minister of Justice in the coalition government made up of the ÖVP and the Greens. In the media she is often referred to as the “first female minister of the Republic of Austria with a migration background ”. She herself speaks of a “foreground of migration”: Her migration history has faded during her time as a lawyer. When she switched to politics, she suddenly became relevant.

After claims such as “a Muslim justice minister would soon introduce Sharia ” were spread on social media by representatives of the Austrian Identitarians and the FPÖ , the Greens made it clear that Zadić was without religious belief. Because there were not only xenophobic and misogynistic insults but also death threats, she received police protection on January 8, 2020.

Zadić had shared photos of a fraternity on Twitter who is said to have shown the Hitler salute. Underneath, she wrote: “No tolerance for neo-Nazis, fascists and racists.” In November 2019, at the request of the person pictured at the Vienna Criminal Court, she was obliged to pay compensation of 700 euros in the first instance under Section 6 of the Media Act. She appealed against this, and the judgment is therefore not final. Zadić's predecessor in office, Clemens Jabloner , made it clear that this is not a criminal case and that there would be no entry in the criminal record even in the event of a final judgment. The agitation against them is "baseness".

Zadić announced in August 2020 that she was expecting her first child in January 2021.
