biography

Flavia Kleiner is the middle of three children in an FDP family: the grandfather was president, the mother a councilor of the FDP Niederhasli . Kleiner attended high school at the Zürcher Unterland canton school in Bülach and began studying contemporary history and law at the bilingual University of Friborg in 2009 . In 2012/13 she studied for a year in Jerusalem. In 2016 she was a master's student and assistant to Siegfried Weichlein at the Chair of European Contemporary History. She devotes her free time to classical music and dance.

politics

After the SVP won its «Initiative against mass immigration» against bourgeois and left-wing parties, trade unions and business associations on February 9, 2014 , Kleiner was one of the co-founders of the liberal group Operation Libero . After the 2015 parliamentary elections , in which the SVP emerged as the strongest party, the other parties as well as the trade associations saw the fight against the SVP enforcement initiative as hopeless, especially since surveys of the proposal confirmed 66 percent yes votes. With her Operation Libero, Kleiner placed herself at the head of a committee made up of non-governmental organizations and became the face of the broad civil movement that formed against the enforcement initiative.

The media rated the rejection of the initiative as a political sensation: a heterogeneous alliance from civil society clearly won against the SVP, which provided far more financial resources than the opposing committee.

This made Flavia Kleiner known to the public. Several parties tried to get her, her face was featured on the cover of the magazine , and she argued about Switzerland's European policy on the TV show Arena .

Kleiner did not want to join a party and instead concentrate on the next major referendum battles against the SVP. With success: the revision of the Asylum Act was adopted in 2016. In November 2018, the people and the cantons rejected the SVP initiative Against Foreign Judges , which aimed to terminate the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) .

On 17 May 2020 the date on which the against the movement of persons looking cancellation initiative should be decided was little known to step down as co-president. She wants to continue to support Operation Libero. The NZZ am Sonntag wrote about Kleiner's involvement with Operation Libero that it had "fought six voting battles and [was] six times in the camp of the victors".

Flavia Kleiner is a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
