Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck has urged the traffic light coalition to have more public spirit. “It is important that we concentrate on the actual task of acting for Germany – and not for our own Twitter followers,” said the Green politician to our editorial team.

Outraged, Habeck turned against coalition rumors about difficulties and an icy relationship between Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) and him. “The talk is as banal as it is false.
