Daily news, mostly little new. Minister Robert Habeck and his state secretary Patrick Graichen had to answer questions from MPs about the “best man affair”. The most important finding: Graichen can stay. for now.
Julia Klöckner and Matthias Jung had already lined up in front of the press wall to make their statement after the meeting on behalf of their CDU/CSU parliamentary group. They were just starting when suddenly the journalists ran away from them. Robert Habeck had stepped out of the hall.
“I’m almost a bit afraid,” said Habeck, “that the interpretation of what happened here in the last few hours will diverge a bit afterwards.” The Economics Minister had every reason to believe so.
