Life

Yasmin Fahimi grew up with her older brother as an orphan in Hanover with her German mother, a social worker. Her father, a chemist from Iran , had died in a car accident before she was born. Fahimi attended elementary school in Altwarmbüchen from 1974 to 1978 and high school in Isernhagen from 1978 to 1987 . She studied electrical engineering at the University of Hanover from 1987 to 1989 and chemistry from 1989 to 1998. She completed her chemistry studies in 1998 with a degree in chemistry.

From 1998 to 2000, Fahimi worked as a research assistant at the Work and Environment Foundation of the Mining, Chemical and Energy Industrial Union ( IG BCE ) and has been a member of the union since then. She then worked as part of her training as a trade union secretary in the IG BCE districts of Berlin-Brandenburg and Münster-Bielefeld and in the youth department in the Recklinghausen district. From 2005 to 2014, Fahimi was head of the department for policy and organizational development on the main board of IG BCE in Hanover and also from 2011 to 2014 executive board member of the IG BCE Innovationsforum Energiewende e. V. (If. E).

On January 26, 2022, the German trade union federation announced that Fahimi would be the first woman to take over the chair of the trade union federation, succeeding the DGB boss Reiner Hoffmann , who was retiring for reasons of age.

politics

Fahimi has been a member of the SPD since 1986. She was initially involved with the Juso and was a member of the board of the Juso district in Hanover and the Juso federal board. She belonged to the leadership of the Marxist “Juso-Left” that emerged from the Hanoverian circle (“ Stamokap ”) .

From 1994 to 2002, Yasmin Fahimi was on the SPD sub- district executive in Hanover-Land and from 1999 to 2002 on the district executive in Hanover. In 2002 she applied unsuccessfully for the SPD candidacy for the Bundestag constituency Hannover-Land I. From 2009 to 2013 she was deputy chairwoman of the SPD city association in Hanover. Fahimi is a board member of Denkwerks Demokratie, a think tank founded in 2011 by the SPD, Greens and trade unions . In December 2021 she was elected to the SPD party executive.

SPD General Secretary

Yasmin Fahimi (2014)

At a special party conference on January 26, 2014, Fahimi was elected with 88.5 percent approval to succeed Andrea Nahles as Secretary General of the SPD. The WamS portrays Fahimi as determined and experienced in organizational issues; She has created a central control unit in the Willy-Brandt-Haus that works directly for her: "Her penchant for centralism stems from union hierarchical thinking from the IG BCE and a distrust, as was common in the left 'Stamokap' wing of the Jusos."

While the SPD leader at the time, Franz Müntefering , had strictly rejected a leading role for the Left Party in the 2009 state elections in Thuringia , Fahimi was open to a Left Party prime minister. Using the example of Thuringia, she did not rule out that the SPD would be a junior partner in a coalition with the Left Party. After the state elections in Thuringia in 2014 , a coalition of Left, SPD and Greens with a Prime Minister of the Left Party was formed for the first time.

As Secretary General, Fahimi took a clear stand against Pegida in 2015 . Also from demands of the CSU u. a. after "detention zones" for refugees, she clearly distanced herself.

Katarina Barley was elected as her successor on December 11, 2015 at the SPD federal party conference in Berlin .

State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Labor

On January 1, 2016, Fahimi moved to the Federal Ministry of Labor as State Secretary under Minister Andrea Nahles , SPD and succeeded Jörg Asmussen in office. She held this position until September 2017.
