Isabelle Chassot, new director of the Federal Office of Culture
- A highly cultivated jurist and a professional politician, she will replace Jean-Frédéric Jauslin in November
In November, Isabelle Chassot will replace Jean-Frédéric Jauslin and become the director of the Federal Office of Culture (OFC). A highly cultivated jurist and a professional politician, she held a 12-year mandate in the State Council of Fribourg. Her task will be to revive the dialogue between politicians and creators.
The selection of Isabelle Chassot was mostly well-received in Switzerland. Artists expect the new director responsible for culture to firmly stand by their cause and be a more active mediator than her predecessor, Jean-Frédéric Jauslin. Being from French-speaking Switzerland, she has another asset on her side: she is perfectly bilingual in French and German.
