Natalie Simone Rickli (born 19 November 1976 in Winterthur, Switzerland) is a Swiss politician of the Swiss People's Party.

Biography[]

She was elected as member of the National Council of Switzerland from the Canton of Zürich in 2007. In March 2019, she was elected to the Executive Council of Zürich and appointed as the Director of Health.^[1][2]

She's a member of a Campaign for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland.^[3]

In 2014, a rap group composed a song that targeted Rickli with sexually charged lyrics. The group was prosecuted in Zürich and found guilty of defamation and abuse. That verdict was upheld by the cantonal court. The courts, however, found that the rappers were not guilty of sexual harassment in the grounds that Rickli did not listen to the song. A victim of harassment would have to be present to hear the abuse. The case was later sent to the federal courts, which also acquitted in the charge of sexual harassment.^[4][5]
