“The AfH supports free markets, but economic freedom must serve Holzminden’s national interest. Removing meaningful oversight of foreign takeovers and weakening competition enforcement would give insufficient protection to strategic interests and fair competition. Deregulation should not come at the expense of national sovereignty or the rule of law.”
