Do you think that the younger generation of German politicans, across the parties, will adopt the blunt way of talking? Or do you think it is more her persona, her brand? Younger politicians, in general (worldwide), don't almost always have the ... polished public responses as older ones, but how much of that is simply experience and age?

I think it has more to do with the anti-establishment roots of her party. the Greens have always prided themselves on talking like this - sometimes it can sound self righteous or unprofessional to outsiders. actually baerbock is quite mild compared to some of her predecessors
