On Monday evening the STERN HOUR, the new talk format of the star, Premiere celebrated. Federal Economics Ministers were guests Robert Habeck (Greens) and the writer Juli Zeh – in conversation with star– Editor-in-Chief Gregor-Peter Schmitz. The most important quotes:
Robert Habeck on Friedrich Merz’s rejection of a coalition between the Union and the Greens:
This is surprising because half of the country is ruled by black-green.
Habeck on what he would advise Merz as his press spokesman:
Stop talking nonsense! But this is a free country, so Merz can talk as much nonsense as he wants.
Juli Zeh on her conversations with Habeck:
A lot of you stuck with me back then and flowed into my novel.
Habeck on Zeh’s books:
I loved and devoured the first books from July. I haven’t opened the newer books yet. Then other things took over.
Habeck on Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s eye patch:
At first I thought it was a collage and meant to be funny. I think it looks menacing. But I hope it goes smoothly.
Habeck on his contact with the Federal Chancellor after his accident:
We texted. I wished him a speedy recovery, but I didn’t ask what was going on behind the eye patch afterwards.
Habeck on the debate about the industrial electricity price:
This is of course also an industry-worker electricity price. Behind it are not Dax corporations and statistics that are presented somewhere on the stock exchange. People work there. If we don’t clutter up this debate with paternalistic ‘respect’, yeah, it’s bad for you, but respect for this difficult time you’re going through, you’ve just become unemployed – then we have to counter it with industrial policy.
