How does the BDI's past and present leadership's political affiliations influence their response to the proposed border controls?

The BDI's stance highlights a conflict between promoting EU integration and responding to domestic political pressures. While the BDI acknowledges the potential for negative economic consequences from border closures (higher costs, supply chain disruptions), their silence on the issue suggests a prioritization of avoiding political confrontation. This reflects broader uncertainties in the German economy, which is predicted to experience a GDP decline.
