Habeck is fighting for Flensburg: This is how he wants to shape the future of the north!

Robert Habeck, the Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economic Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, has announced that he will run again for his constituency of Schleswig-Flensburg in the upcoming federal election. He shared this information with the relevant district associations of the Greens and explained it in detail on his website. In an accompanying video, he highlights his deep personal ties to the region and his political goals.

“I have represented this constituency number 1, Flensburg and Schleswig-Flensburg, in the German Bundestag for the last four years and of course, as a minister, I have always thought, empathized and worked for it,” says Habeck, emphasizing his connection to the Baltic Sea. The minister, born in Lübeck, has particular experience in coastal protection and in promoting regional fisheries. These are essential topics for him that he would like to pursue in his political work.

The role of North German identity

In his speech, Habeck describes the difference between communication in his home region and the often conflictual rhetoric in Berlin. He emphasizes that conversations in Schleswig-Holstein are more personal and respectful; The interpersonal closeness is noticeable here. "We talk differently here. When I'm at home here, when I meet people who pat me on the shoulder or talk to me, we're quickly on a first-name basis," he explains. This lack of distance reflects his appreciation for direct exchange.

A central point in Habeck's views is social cohesion. He points to the important role of northern Germany, which is characterized by its proximity to Denmark and a strong sense of community. “The Scandinavian idea of ​​strong institutions will move to the center of my politics,” he announces. This underlines his vision for a more open Germany in which people with different backgrounds can exchange ideas.

Election campaign and fish sandwich tips

The Schleswig-Holstein Green Party state chairman Gazi Freitag is enthusiastic about Habeck's return to the election campaign. “We are very pleased that Robert Habeck is running for the Bundestag again,” he said. The nomination for the Bundestag candidacy is scheduled to take place in November, which will further heat up the election campaign in Schleswig-Holstein.

At the end of his video, Habeck leaves his viewers with a personal note: “And here you can find the best fish sandwich in the world.” This not only illustrates his connection to northern German culture, but also expresses his connection to the culinary specialties of the region. For many voters, this human and authentic approach could be crucial.

The 55-year-old has been sitting in the Bundestag since 2021 after previously holding political responsibility in Schleswig-Holstein. As the Green Party's top candidate for the upcoming federal elections, he is considered strong, if not without an alternative. His return to the campaign trail is eagerly awaited as the political landscape in Germany continues to evolve and reflect on the upcoming election.
