The Departure of Robert Habeck: Green Party Veteran Heads to UC Berkeley
Upcoming Instruction: Habeck to Deliver Crisis Management Lessons to American Elite
Looks like the great Green politician, Robert Habeck, is taking a break from political life and venturing into academia over at UC Berkeley in sunny California! According to recent reports from Focus, our man Habeck has been in talks with UC Berkeley and seems pretty thrilled by the prospect [1]. He simply said, "I'm in discussions with UC Berkeley, and I can't wait for the updates in the coming months."
Rumor has it that Habeck will be teaching alongside none other than the respected economist, Ulrike Malmendier, who's been part of the Council of Experts since 2022 [1]! Together, they're planning a series of lectures on crises, just wait for it!
Now, you might remember Habeck as the dude leading the Greens into the recent Bundestag election in February, despite their setbacks. Post-elections, Habeck made it clear that he no longer harbored any ambitions to hold a leadership role within the Greens [2]. However, he still holds a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, where he tends to the delicate issue of Germany-US relations [2].
So, it seems that he's following in the footsteps of another Green star, his buddy Joschka Fischer. After serving as Foreign Minister in the red-green coalition, Fischer packed up and spent some time at Princeton as a guest professor. Looks like Habeck is picking up the torch [2].
One thing's for sure, politics or academia, this guy's bound to make waves wherever he goes!
