Early life and education
Born in Frankfurt (Oder), Giffey grew up in Briesen. After her Abitur in 1997, she started studying English and French at the Humboldt University of Berlin in order to become a teacher, but had to leave the profession in 1998 for medical reasons.[3] She subsequently studied administrative law at a Fachhochschule for Public Administration in Berlin from 1998 until 2001. During her graduate studies in European administrative management from 2003 to 2005, she worked at the Representation of Berlin to the European Union in Brussels in 2003 and at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg in 2005. In 2005, she started extra-occupational doctoral studies at the Free University of Berlin, where she received her doctorate in 2010. Her thesis dealt with the inclusion of civil society by the European Commission in EU decision-making.
In addition to her studies, she worked as Commissioner for European Affairs in the district administration of Neukölln from 2002 to 2010.
Political career
Giffey joined the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 2007.
In 2015, Giffey succeeded Heinz Buschkowsky as mayor of the Berlin district of Neukölln, home to many immigrants and high unemployment.[5]
Federal Minister of Family Affairs, 2018–2021
After the formation of a grand coalition between the CDU under Chancellor Angela Merkel and the SPD in the wake of the 2017 federal election, Giffey was appointed member of the fourth Merkel cabinet in March 2018, serving as Federal Minister of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. She succeeded Katarina Barley in this office, who became Federal Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection.
Following the 2018 Chemnitz protests, Giffey was the first member of Merkel's cabinet to visit the site where a 35-year-old German carpenter was stabbed to death.[6]
In mid-2020, Giffey presented the government’s first equality strategy, which bundled together measures that aim to get more women into leadership roles, narrow the gender pay gap and improve work-life balance.[7] By early 2021, she introduced legislation introducing stricter gender equality rules for government-controlled companies and measures to force larger listed companies to have at least one woman on their management boards.[8][9]
Allegations of plagiarism & resignation
In 2019, allegations of plagiarism prompted the Free University of Berlin to review Giffey’s 2010 dissertation.[10] In response, Giffey announced that she would resign if her doctorate is revoked and she would not run for the leadership of her party due to the ongoing investigation.[11]
On 10 June 2021, the presidium of the Free University of Berlin unanimously stripped Giffey of her doctorate, saying she was guilty of 'at least partially intentional deception' and citing 69 instances in the 200-page thesis when citations were either not at all or improperly attributed.[12]
She resigned as minister on 19 May 2021 but immediately won the candidacy for Berlin mayor from the SPD, which she has not relinquished.[13]
مرشحة لمنصب عمدة برلين
When Berlin’s governing mayor Michael Müller announced his intention not to run again for his party’s leadership in the state, Giffey and Raed Saleh expressed their intention to take over as dual leaders.[14] Giffey subsequently was voted her party's candidate to succeed Müller as mayor in the 2021 Berlin state election.
