BIAUDET, Eva Rita Katarina was born on February 27, 1961 in Helsinki, Finland.
Student of jurisprudence.
She returned to the Finnish Parliament in the parliamentary election of April 2015. After the election of 2003 Biaudet did not want to continue as a cabinet minister. Biaudet was appointed as the Ombudsman for Minorities for a term of five years period starting in 2010.
A complaint was made concerning her nomination because she was formally unqualified for the office, as she lacked a university degree.
Biaudet had studied law, but never graduated. The complaint did not succeed, as Biaudet was granted a special permission.
Her lack of a university degree caused a lot of debate and brought accusations of politics in her appointment. Eva Biaudet asked for preliminary investigation concerning the weblog writings of the vicar of the Pohja Evangelical Lutheran Parish Juha Molari.
Biaudet suspected Molari of incitement.
The police saw no crime in his comments. 2012 Eva Biaudet was the Swedish People"s Party candidate in the Finnish presidential election, finishing 7th with 2.7% of votes in the first round of voting. In June 2011 the United States. credited Biaudet for her continued work against human trafficking.
In 2015 Biaudet was declared unqualified to seek a continuation for her five-year term as the Ombudsman for Minorities due to her lack of a university degree.
Though an exception was made in her case in 2010, no such exception could be made in 2015, because the formal qualifications of the office had been defined by law after 2010.
Among others Green League member and a lawyer Husein Muhammed lodged a complaint against her, but none were sustained.
Eva Biaudet was Member of Parliament of Finland (1991–2006) and is a former Minister of Health and Social Services (1999–2000 and 2002–2003).
