“Problematic”: Lobbycontrol Criticizes Habeck’s Move to the Private Sector

The organization Lobbycontrol has expressed skepticism about former Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck’s announced move to the Danish investment firm Urban Partners. Such a move could undermine public trust in politics, Aurel Eschmann, a specialist on lobbying regulations at the organization, told the news agency dpa. “Suddenly, the question at the center of attention is whether Robert Habeck might have advocated for the promotion of heat pumps for reasons other than political conviction,” he said.
