Robert Habeck as a guest lecturer in Berkeley
In other news affecting political circles, Robert Habeck, the former Federal Economics Minister and former Vice Chancellor, is announced as a new guest lecturer at the prominent University of California, Berkeley. The university announced this step internally after Habeck decided to take his career in new directions after his political activity. In collaboration with German economist Ulrike Malmendier, he will offer a series of lectures on crises, which is particularly exciting given his political experience and perspectives. Malmendier has been a member of the Advisory Council and an economics professor at Berkeley since 2022 Mercury reported.
Habeck remains a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee, where he deals intensively with German-American relations. Nevertheless, there is already speculation about his future in politics. It is believed that after leaving the traffic light government he could resign from his Bundestag mandate, which would possibly lead to a withdrawal from the political arena. Mayra Vriesema is mentioned as a possible successor in this context.
These two events from the areas of transport and politics show in different ways how unpredictable life can be, both in everyday life and in public service. While Heidelberg is concerned with the immediate consequences of a wrong decision, the political landscape is concerned with setting the course for future careers.
