Corinne Cahen

Corinne Cahen (born 16 May 1973) is a Luxembourgish politician who served as Minister of Family and Integration and Minister of the Greater Region in the Bettel I and II governments.[1]

She was born in Luxembourg City, and grew up in a Jewish family in the Bonnevoie neighborhood. After her high school graduation, she left for France to study translation, business, and journalism. She then worked as a journalist for the AFP and Radio France Internationale, which included a period as a White House correspondent in Washington, D.C. After her return to Luxembourg, she worked for Eldoradio, RTL Radio, and her family's shoe business.[2]

Before entering politics, she was a businesswoman managing Chaussures Léon, her family's shoe shop in the Gare district of Luxembourg City,[3] and was active as president for the retail business association of Luxembourg City from 2008 to 2012.

Cahen expressed her outrage at the inclusion of Gerson Rodrigues in Luxembourg's National Football team after the latter's conviction for assault and domestic abuse. In response to the national team manager Luc Holtz stating that he wouldn't judge, Cahen pointed out on LinkedIn that Rodrigues is convicted.[4]
