Her paternal grandparents were Rosemarie Wagner Schilling, a fourth-generation German-Chilean, and her husband, the German immigrant Friedrich Ernst Kaiser Richter,[4] who defined politically as a Social Democrat, arrived in Chile as a refugee from Wurtemberg in 1936,[5][6] escaping National Socialist Germany[7] after Adolf Hitler's rise to power and before World War II, having foreseen its outbreak.[8][6]
He married his wife in April 1939[4] and settled in Villarrica in Southern Chile, where he was eventually elected as the 9th mayor of the city, serving between May 1956 and October 1957.[5] Her father was active in the National Party, serving as a youth leader.[5]
She has a Master of Arts in philosophy, a PhD in political sciences and a PhD in philosophy.
She is the CEO of the Libertarian Centre of Studies of Chile (Spanish: Centro de Estudios Libertarios CEL),[1] and a columnist of El Líbero[9] and El Mostrador.[10][11] Her brothers are Axel Kaiser, a Chilean lawyer and author, of Johannes Kaiser, a congressman and Politician, founder of the National Libertarian Party,[12][13][14][15] along with three other less prominent siblings.[5]
Vanessa has given a lecture at the Fundación para el Progreso (FPP), where she has denounced liberalism as the "true bailout [of society]".[16]
She held the Hannah Arendt chair of the Autonomous University of Chile between 2018 and 2021.[17]
She was elected as councilman of Las Condes in 2021 and resigned in 2022 for personal reasons.[18][12][19]
She signed the Madrid Charter, a document drafted by the far-right Spanish party Vox that describes left-wing groups as enemies of Ibero-America involved in a "criminal project" that are "under the umbrella of the Cuban regime."[20]
