Biography

Vanessa Kaiser was born from Hans Christian Kaiser Wagner and Rosmarie Barents Haensgen, a German-Chilean family.[6]

Her paternal grandparents were Rosemarie Wagner Schilling, a fourth-generation German-Chilean, and her husband, the German immigrant Friedrich Ernst Kaiser Richter,[6] who defined politically as a Social Democrat, arrived in Chile as a refugee from Wurtemberg in 1936,[7][8] escaping National Socialist Germany[9]after Adolf Hitler's rise to power and before World War II, having foreseen its outbreak.[10][8]

He married his wife in April 1939[6] and settled in Villarrica in Southern Chile, where he was eventually elected as the 9th mayor of the city, serving between May 1956 and October 1957.[7] Her father was active in the National Party, serving as a youth leader.[7]

She has a Master of Arts in philosophy, a PhD in political sciences and a PhD in philosophy.

She is the CEO of the Libertarian Centre of Studies of Chile (Spanish: Centro de Estudios Libertarios CEL),[4] and a columnist of El Líbero[11] and El Mostrador.[12][13] Her brothers are Axel Kaiser, a Chilean lawyer and author, of Johannes Kaiser, a congressman and Politician, founder of the National Libertarian Party,[14][3][15][16] along with three other less prominent siblings.[7]

Vanessa has given a lecture at the Fundación para el Progreso (FPP), where she has denounced liberalism as the "true bailout [of society]".[17]

She holded the Hannah Arendt chair of the Autonomous University of Chile between 2018 and 2021.[18]

She was elected as councilman of Las Condes in 2021 and resigned in 2022 for personal reasons.[19][14][20]

On 18 October 2021, she was mentioned by Radio Bío-Bío as a possible minister of an eventual government of José Antonio Kast.[21] She signed the Madrid Charter, a document drafted by the far-right Spanish party Vox that describes left-wing groups as enemies of Ibero-America involved in a "criminal project" that are "under the umbrella of the Cuban regime."[22]
