He did not want to “deny that we as a government have not given a nice picture in the past few weeks”. In the matter, however, it is necessary to wrestle with each other to find the right solution. “We don’t want to make ourselves comfortable and sit it out like the grand coalition.” The coalition committee had “resolved blockages in terms of content,” noted Habeck.
“Since then, three laws from my area alone have been unified that have stuck: the energy efficiency law, the building energy law and the reform of competition law.” Habeck described the human understanding in the coalition as very good. “Despite many challenges and a lot of work, we also laugh a lot,” he said. Outraged, Habeck turned against rumors of difficulties and cool dealings between Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) and him.
“The talk is as banal as it is wrong. Annalena Baerbock and I work closely and trustingly together,” he said. “The coalition committee has shown that the green leadership stands together as one.” Baerbock had prevailed against Habeck in the race for the chancellor candidacy before the last federal election.
When asked how the K question would be decided next time, the vice chancellor replied: “None of those are my questions right now. I’m fully focused on my office, and you can see how much there is to do.”
