All information about the new talk format STERN STUNDE can be found here.
Habeck on what he would advise Merz as his press spokesman:
Stop talking nonsense! But this is a free country, so Merz can talk as much nonsense as he wants.
Juli Zeh on her conversations with Habeck:
A lot of you stuck with me back then and flowed into my novel.
Habeck on Zeh’s books:
I loved and devoured the first books from July. I haven’t opened the newer books yet. Then other things took over.
Zeh about rights in Germany:
The right has not come to many issues so far. Education, for example, especially in day-care centers and elementary schools. They don’t have to make that up. And the right-wing populists unfortunately have it easy, they can formulate it succinctly and then people jump on it.
Zeh on the current zeitgeist:
Taking a positive attitude is punished as a form of trivialization in the face of crises. You can’t just stand there and say it’s an opportunity.
Zeh about the media:
If building a positive sense of togetherness is punished in the media as a naive view of the future. People notice that, then the next 20 kilos are on the mistrust scale.
Habeck on Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s eye patch:
At first I thought it was a collage and meant to be funny. I think it looks menacing. But I hope it goes smoothly.
Habeck on his contact with the Federal Chancellor after his accident:
We texted. I wished him a speedy recovery, but I didn’t ask what was going on behind the eye patch afterwards.
Habeck on the debate about the industrial electricity price:
This is of course also an industry-worker electricity price. Behind it are not Dax corporations and statistics that are presented somewhere on the stock exchange. People work there. If we don’t clutter this debate with paternalistic ‘respect’, yeah, it’s bad for you, but respect for the difficult time you’re going through, you’ve just become unemployed – then we have to counter it with industrial policy.
Zeh on the debate culture in Germany:
Why are people so aggro? Why can you be executed, “cancelled” for saying a stupid sentence on a podium at NTV on Twitter. I often ask myself why the discourse has become so aggressive.
