Politicians always side with big business.

That's not true at all as far as EU tech company regulations are concerned. Examples: laws for GDPR, right to repair, consolidated charging ports, minimum size & pricing roof on roaming data - and related fines for disobeying them.

There is a German ARD Video about Open Source. The EU Parlament is big in with Microsoft products and don't want to change because they are idiots.
