In a recent discussion hosted by Caren Miosga, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck addressed the challenges facing the current government and economy.

Despite strong support from his party, with 96.48% backing him as the Green Party's lead candidate, Habeck faces uncertainty in potentially succeeding Olaf Scholz as Chancellor.

During the discussion, Habeck reflected on the political landscape, acknowledging past mistakes such as Germany's reliance on Russian gas, which he deemed a significant error.

He also criticized the opposition's stance on energy subsidies, warning that following their plans could lead to increased poverty in Germany.

Habeck emphasized the need for political leaders to listen and engage in meaningful dialogue, a sentiment echoed by journalist Ursula Weidenfeld, who argued for more substantial economic policies.

The conversation highlighted the ongoing debate over Germany's economic future, including the contentious issue of the debt brake and the necessity of state investment in infrastructure.
