Robert Habeck says goodbye to Rüder Polemik – a good thing

Ex-Economics Minister and ex-Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck did not say quietly to say goodbye. No, Habeck really hit one. In an interview with the “” he accused his intimate enemy Markus Söder “fetish -like sausage food”. He also released his anger through Bundestag President Julia Klöckner: “Julia Klöckner split society. I don’t know whether willfully or out of stupidity. She has never been able to bring things together. “It is a” mislontachment “.

The Habeck critics and controllers were immediately on hand. There was much talk of this, there was “offended” a bad loser. That’s right. At ““Polemized Habeck no longer in the” taz “interview as before, but he presented himself as someone who had failed more due to the conditions than on his own inability.

When assessing Habeck’s all -round and his attitude to politics, one should consider: In recent years, as part of the traffic light coalition, the Greens have had to take verbal attacks that were more like driving hunts, whereby parts of the media have a lot of muckling. All the Söders, Hubers, Kretschmers, Aiwangers (apart from the AfD) explained the Greens and in particular Habeck almost about enemies of the state.

Against this background are Habecks Polemics Understandable – and beneficial: Finally a green one hit. Finally “Like you me, I do you”. He probably spoke from the soul of some people in this country. That he exaggerates it with his role as a failed hero – for free.

Because the hearty polemic in the style of his opponents and the appearance on ZDF are not what will remain.

Sure, you can argue about Habeck’s political record. Failed lighthouse projects such as the settlement of the Northvolt battery factory or the Intel chip factory, the “heating law” and high energy prices are contrasted with the success of the energy transition and the maker qualities in the energy crisis after the UkraineKrege outbreak.

But it will remain immovable: Habeck has redeemed his promise to maintain a different political style, better: to maintain a different style of communication. It was a profit for the political style of the Berlin Republic that Habeck countered bear-like and caustic attacks by the political opponent-despite the vanity, which sometimes appeared when he presented himself as an intellectual beau in poorly sitting suits. Or in conversation with journalists. .

He found precise and empathetic words in severe crises after Russia attacked Ukraine. For the barbaric attack by Hamas on Israel and the exploding anti -Semitism in Germany, published in a video a month after October 7, 2023, was extremely important. No other politician in Germany found more urgent words, their meaning should not be underestimated. It was also immediately after this unprecedented massacre. Habeck was the first to find words for the indescribable on social media.

It brought him the call to be a Federal President as a specialist politician. One who is interested in the great social relationships and not so much for the daily efforts of everyday political life. Robert Habeck would have been a better President of the Bundestag than Julia Klöckner.
