Cédric Wermuth[1] (German pronunciation: [ˈseːdrɪk ˈvɛʁmuːt]; born 19 February 1986) is a Swiss politician who currently serves on the National Council for the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland since 2011.

[8][9][10][6] Cedric Wermuth graduated from high school in Wohlen[11] and attended the University of Zürich, where he studied political science, history, economics, and philosophy.

[4][12][10] He became a member of the Young Socialists of Switzerland (JUSO) at age thirteen[13] and Wermuth's active involvement in politics began when he was fifteen.

[14][5] In the mid-2000s, he became "really politicized" by his interactions with neo-Nazi groups at his school and worked hard to uproot anti-Semitic conspiracy theories such as those presented in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

[26] He also pointed out that Meyer was asked questions about work/family balance during their campaign while he was not, and how her hate mail and criticism often contains sexual violence threats unlike his.

[26] Despite not agreeing politically, he and Thierry Burkart, who also represents Aargau, established the Mittelland Rail Link Committee, which aims to improve transportation in the canton.

[2] He also collaborates with those within his party; he co-wrote Die Service-Public-Revolution, published in 2020, with author Beat Ringger and is currently writing a book with Mattea Meyer.

[22][2] He regards climate change as a class issue and wants to increase non-profit housing construction and expand solar energy both to save the environment and to improve quality of life for impoverished families.

[28][22][30] He finds the "moral thinking" that all people are responsible for global warming "fundamentally wrong" because corporations did and continue to do the most damage.

[38][33][39][40] He does not believe that companies, corporations, and the wealthy are being taxed enough, and that this is unconstitutional because the Constitution calls for "taxation based on economic performance.

[6][36] He thinks that the rich protest against these equalizing values by threatening to create an economic crisis, and that corporations are the reason governments cannot find solutions.

[42] He considers that jobs traditionally viewed as women's work, such as nursing and childcare, are underpaid and that politicians should not be making significantly more than people in these occupations.

[9][27] Gender discrimination is a social issue and he is very clear that men should be interested and involved in supporting feminism and decreasing inequality.

[9] Wermuth is in favor of Switzerland joining the European Union (EU) but requires several things to happen before it can be realized.

[8] He is also in favor of supporting countries considered to be hot topics; he previously served as co-president of the Switzerland-Kosovo and Swiss-Syriac Parliamentary groups.

[3] He has given Kosovo his full support several times[50][51] and has assumed a political godfatherhood for the Belarusian Viktoryia Mirontsava, who is imprisoned in Belarus.

[2] He and Yann were given enough autonomy growing up that they developed self-regulation and self-discipline; their parents never used corporal punishment or what Cédric refers to as "authoritarian structures.

[8] During his childhood and into his adult life, he has admired Rosa Luxemburg, Micheline Calmy-Rey, Ruth Dreifuss, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and wishes he had Roger Federer's modesty.
