Elisabeth Rademacher (née Brühmann; born: 30 September 1977) is a Besmenian politican. She is since September 2021 the 16th Prime Minister of Besmenia. Before that, she served as Governor of Maurenmark from 2016 to 2021. Between 2013 and 2016 she served as Maurenmarkian State Minister for Science, Education and Infrastructure
She ran as the first female BVP candidate in the 2021 Besmenian federal election. After the election, Rademacher formed a blue-red-green government together with the BVP, SDU and GPB, the first party coalition of this kind at the federal level.
Childhood and youth
Rademacher was born as Elisabeth Brühmann on September 30, 1977 in Samaroda as the daughter of Helmut Brühmann (1932-2012) and Helga Klaumer (1935-2020). Elisabeth's paternal grandfather Friedrich Brühmann (1898-1988) was one of the demonstrators during the West Besmenian Revolution. The couple Helmut and Helga married in 1962 and lived in Melmingen until November 1966. The family then moved to Könlenz. After the economic situation had improved somewhat, the family moved back to Maurenmark in July 1973, but to Samaroda rather than Melmingen.
Elisabeth was the youngest of four children. Her siblings are: Pieter Brühmann (* 1966), Lena Brühmann (* 1970) and Hannah Brühmann (1974-2015). Her sister Hannah died in 2015 of complications from cancer.
Education
Rademacher attended the Heinz Dimmler elementary school in the west of Samaroda from 1984 to 1988 and the Hans Messner grammar school from 1988-1994. She then began studying law and political science at the University of Samaroda, which she successfully completed in 1999. In order to supplement her income during her studies, Rademacher claims to have worked as a temporary assistant in a library and as a cleaner in an office.
Political carrer
At the age of 19, Elisabeth joined the Besmenian People's Party (BVP) in 1996 and was involved in the BVP district association in the Samaroda district. In 2002 she became deputy chairwoman of the BVP district association Samaroda, and in 2007 as the official chairwoman.
Member of the State Chamber of Maurenmark (2009-2021)
In the 2009 Maurenmark state election she ran in the constituency of Samaroda I and moved through the state list of the BVP in the State Chamber of Maurenmark.
State Minister for Science, Education and Infrastructure (2013-2016)
After her predecessor Manfred Brecht resigned, Rademacher was nominated as State Minister for Science, Education and Infrastructure on July 8, 2013 by Maurenmarkian governor Konrad Mann. Rademacher took office two days later.
Governor of Maurenmark (2016-2021)
After Konrad Mann resigned from his offices as governor of Maurenmark and chairman of the BVP Maurenmark on March 15, 2016 for health reasons, Rademacher became his successor in both offices. Rademacher, who was 38 years old when she began her governorship, was one of the youngest governors in Besmenia at the time.
Rademacher was confirmed on September 13, 2017 at the BVP Maurenmark party conference in Melmingen with 79.6 percent as state chairwoman. On September 10, 2019, she was re-elected state chairwoman at the BVP Maurenmark party conference in Stotternbach with 82.8 percent.
2019 Maurenmark state election
In late 2018, Rademacher was confirmed as the candidate for the BVP for the 2019 Maurenmark state election in February 2019. In the election, the BVP was able to defend its first place with a result of 31.9% and received an increase in votes of 2.4%. After the election, a coalition was formed with the SDU.
BVP candidate in the 2021 federal election
Following the calling of new elections following the collapse of the BVP-FBBP government and after Theodor Sidemann failed to win the confidence of a majority in the Federal Chamber, Sidemann surprisingly announced on May 13, 2021, five days after his dismissal as prime minister, that he would not serve for the 2021 election as the BVP candidate and his renunciation of a fourth term as prime minister. On May 15, Elisabeth Rademacher was nominated and confirmed as the BVP candidate. Rademacher thus became the first female BVP candidate for a federal chamber election.
Prime Minister of Besmenia (2021-)
The BVP, with Rademacher as the prime minister candidate, emerged as the strongest party in the federal elections on August 8, 2021. The following coalition talks led to a governing coalition with the SDU and the GPB. The Rademacher government was sworn in by President Vincent von Schilling on September 9, 2021. Rademacher is the 16th Besmenian Prime Minister, the second woman to hold the office after Ursula Kummstein, and at 43 when taking office, the second youngest prime minister after Martin Beiter.
Rademacher hosted the 2021 C21 Freiz Summit, which took place in Freiz in November 2021.
On April 11, 2022, Besmenia's western neighbor Palingia joined the Federal Republic of Besmenia as the 14th federal state after years of negotiations.
Drambenburgian attack on Blaoria
After the Drambenburgian attack on Blaoria, which violated international law, Rademacher addressed the Besmenian population in a television speech on the evening of September 5, 2022, in which she said: "The Drambenburgian Chancellor Giorg Auster-Braustadt has made the decision to attack Blaoria. In so doing, Auster -Braustadt has attacked a free, independent and sovereign country. This is inhuman and contrary to international law. This is by nothing and no one to justify. With the attack on Blaoria, Auster-Bridestadt not only wants to wipe out an independent country, he also shatters and destroys the worldwide security order, which has been successfully built up and secured since the founding of the CCA.The Federal Republic of Besmenia stands at Blaoria's side.My thoughts and my deepest condolences to the victims of the Drambenburgian war of aggression."
