Brigitta Gadient

Brigitta M. Gadient (born March 14, 1960 in Chur ) is a Swiss politician ( BDP ) and a former member of the National Council .

Brigitta Gadient was elected to the National Council as a member of the SVP in the 1995 elections. There she was a member of numerous commissions. Before Federal Councilor Christoph Blocher was voted out of office , Brigitta Gadient hit the headlines because the faction of her party at the time, the SVP, excluded her from two commissions together with Hansjörg Hassler because she did not always represent the opinion of the rest of the SVP faction . In spring 2008, Gadient and the other members of the SVP Graubünden were expelled from the national SVP because the cantonal section refused to kick Federal Councilor Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf from the party. Like most other former members of SVP Graubünden, she is now a member of the more liberal BDP Graubünden . Since the founding of the BDP parliamentary group on March 2, 2009, she was parliamentary group president.

On October 1, 2010, Gadient announced that she would no longer run for the National Council in 2011. She is also not available for a candidate for the Council of States .

Brigitta Gadient is a lawyer and lives in Chur. Politics runs in the family: father Ulrich Gadient and grandfather Andreas Gadient were among the members of the National Council. Before being elected to the National Council, she worked for the Swiss Parliamentary Services for seven years .
