The image of Robert Habeck, who gave up power with "true greatness", is similarly laden with clichés. Unfortunately, only a few have managed to free themselves from clichés. Lorenz Maroldt (Der Tagesspiegel), for example (Checkpoint, April 22, 2021): "Could it not have been the case that Baerbock was simply the stronger one with the better arguments in the end? That Habeck did not actually have the power that he supposedly gave up so generously?" Habeck's true greatness is "the way he dealt with defeat, not the supposed renunciation".
By the way: Baerbock’s answer to the egg america rcs data question also answers what characterizes journalism: “Above all, you need a clear stance.”
The most beautiful term that came up during the whole discussion was "place of remembrance" or, even more elegantly, "lieu de mémoire". To put it quite naively: wouldn't it be simpler to simply preserve such a place of remembrance instead of constantly philosophizing about how to preserve a memory of something that you want to destroy?
