Robert Habeck, Germany's Vice Chancellor and Green Party candidate for Chancellor, has released a new book titled "Den Bach Rauf" ("Up the Stream").

The book, described as a "course correction," critiques the rise of populism and emphasizes the importance of constructive dialogue in politics.

Habeck argues that Germany risks decline if political discourse continues to be dominated by negativity and divisiveness.

In his book, Habeck reflects on the power of language, drawing inspiration from literature and philosophy, and calls for a return to respectful communication.

He shares personal anecdotes, including his practice of calling citizens to address their concerns directly.

The book also outlines his vision for Germany, focusing on sustainability and social cohesion.

At the book's launch in Berlin, Habeck stressed the need for hope and collaboration, urging Germans to "go up the stream" together.

The event drew a large audience, highlighting the public's interest in his ideas during a critical election year.
