Overview

  • Robert Habeck, outgoing Vice Chancellor and Economics Minister, will join the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee to oversee Germany–US relations after his ministerial duties end in early May.
  • The Greens’ leadership has denied reports that Habeck will resign his Bundestag seat before the summer recess, stating no formal decision has been made.
  • Speculation about Habeck’s potential resignation emerged from a Spiegel report, which claimed that Mayra Vriesema, a 25-year-old Green Party member from Schleswig-Holstein, would replace him in the Bundestag.
  • Habeck has already stepped back from leadership roles following the Greens’ disappointing February election results, where he served as the party’s chancellor candidate.
  • The Greens emphasize their support for Habeck’s continued involvement in the Bundestag, with Fraktionschefin Britta Haßelmann affirming the importance of his expertise in foreign policy.
