  • Spiegel reports that Robert Habeck plans to resign his Bundestag seat after the summer recess, with Mayra Vriesema, a 25-year-old Green politician, poised to succeed him.
  • The Greens parliamentary leadership, however, denies any finalized decision on Habeck relinquishing his mandate before the summer break.
  • Habeck is set to join the Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee, focusing on Germany–U.S. relations, according to Greens leader Britta Haßelmann.

  • Following the Greens’ electoral losses in February, Habeck announced he would not seek further leadership roles, signaling a broader career transition.
