English term or phrase: x challenged y on his policy
Überschrift einer Pressemitteilung. Es handelt sich um eine Podiumsdiskussion. Später im Text habe ich "challenged y's policy" mit " Hat die Politik hinterfragt" übersetzt, aber zu "to challenge s.o. on s.th." fällt mir nichts ein.

X hinterfragt Ys Politik


Explanation:
Oder:

X hinterfragt Ys politische Leit-/Richtlinie

Ich würde Präsenz bevorzugen, denn in Wirklichkeit wird ja diese Politik in Frage gestellt, jetztz und auch in Zukunft, nicht nur zum Zeitpunkt des Interviews. Ys soll übrigens den Genitiv darstellen.
