Roger Nicolas Nordmann[1] (French pronunciation: [ʁɔʒe nɔʁdman]; born 23 March 1973) is a Swiss politician who currently serves on the National Council for the Social Democratic Party since 2004. He has also been the president of the Social Democratic group.
Nordmann was born 23 March 1973 in Lausanne, Switzerland to Philippe Nordmann, an attorney, and Ursula Nordmann (née Zimmermann), a former federal judge. Both his parents were members of the Social Democratic Party since 1972 respectively 1975. He is of Jewish descent on his paternal side being an offspring of the Fribourg line of the Nordmann family who originally hailed from Hégenheim, France.[2] His paternal grandfather was attorney Pierre Nordmann, who chaired Nordmann & Cie SA in Fribourg.[3][4]
He was primarily raised in Mézières and Moudon before ultimately completing his Matura in 1991 in Lausanne. He then completed a Licentiate at the University of Bern and the University of Bologna. In 2000, Nordmann completed a diploma in Legal Affairs at the University of Geneva.[5]
