„Realitätscheck Politik“ is a critical column and observation series on Xpert.Digital that examines political decisions, developments and narratives for their actual impact on the German economy and society.

And not every lobbying effort conducted in the name of business benefits the economy as a whole. “Reality Check Politics” identifies these discrepancies – without a partisan agenda, but with a clear view of the reality beyond the press releases.
