Habeck competes again: Baltic Sea, fish rolls and strong institutions!

Robert Habeck has announced that he will be a member of the Bundestag for his constituency of Schleswig-Flensburg next year. The Vice Chancellor and Economic Minister informed this decision to the important district associations of the Greens. On his website and in an accompanying video, he explains his reasons for this application.

In his video, Habeck referred to the constituency as his "number 1" and emphasizes that he has represented this region in the Bundestag for the past four years. As a "child of the Baltic Sea", he feels a special connection to his homeland, which is located in Lübeck. "I know my way around coastal protection and I am for domestic fishing like for the porpoose whales. All of this is in me," he emphasizes. He also describes the differences between his hometown and the hectic life in Berlin, where a "flimmeric toxicity" often prevails, which cannot be felt in the north.

Cohesion and Scandinavian principles

Habeck's political agenda not only aims at economic issues such as climate protection and energy, but also relies on social cohesion. Particularly inspired by the Danish-German neighborhood, in which he speaks Danish and studied in the neighboring country, he advocates that Germany could learn from the Nordic approach to community. "See other interests, not to despise them, do not always blame others," he says, and argues that it is important to find a common balance.

In his next term of office, Habeck wants to focus on the Scandinavian idea of strong institutions. He demands that you create spaces where people can communicate with each other for various backgrounds. "We need exchange between different cultures, languages and levels of education," he explains.

The reaction to Habeck's candidacy is consistently positive. Gazi Friday, the chairman of the Greens in Schleswig-Holstein, was pleased and emphasized that the party was happy about the minister for the minister. The official constituency assembly to draw up the candidacy will take place next month, in November.

A personal note

Habeck closes his video in a personal, charming way by recommending his viewers to try the "best fish rolls in the world" in his region. This gives an insight into his connection with the culture and traditions of his homeland, and it shows that despite the political challenges, he also appreciates the simple joys of life.

The 55-year-old has been in the Bundestag since 2021 and has a long career as a minister in Schleswig-Holstein. He was elected directly to parliament for his constituency and is considered a possible top candidate or even the Greens' candidate for the Chancellor in the upcoming Bundestag election. He has a significant influence on the future political landscape in Germany.
