Miosga: Habeck denies rumors of the formation of a new party
In political Berlin, there is speculation that Robert Habeck could found a new party with Volker Wissing. The former Deputy Chancellor is now making it clear what he thinks of this rumor.
Berlin - Former Green Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck has denied rumors of him founding a new political party. Speaking in the ARD show "Caren Miosga," the 57-year-old dismissed the speculation, stating, "There's nothing to it." This rumor, reported by journalists Robin Alexander and Dagmar Rosenfeld on their podcast "Machtwechsel," suggested Habeck and former Transport Minister Volker Wissing might launch a new party, possibly with a CDU defector.
Habeck acknowledged hearing such rumors "about 100 times" before the show. He informed many people about the speculations but firmly stated, "No, and I can give a good reason why I consider this idea nonsense." When asked if he would remain loyal to his party, Habeck answered simply, "Yes." Previously, Miosga questioned Habeck about his potential return to politics.
Habeck replied, "I can't imagine that right now," adding, "There are no plans, no strategies, and no desire to re-enter politics." Habeck's new book, "Arctic Meltdown: The Re-measurement of the World," will be released on Thursday, where he will discuss the global interest in the Arctic. In the coming weeks and months, he will be busy presenting this discourse on various stages. Beyond that, Habeck said, "I might write the next one," adding, "I'd like to have a solution."
