Spahn wird per Leihmutterschaft Vater – Parteifreunde fordern Rücktritt | NIUS Live

Jens Spahn has become a father, thereby disregarding a ban he himself defended for years. The CDU parliamentary group leader and his husband, Daniel Funke, had their son Georg via surrogacy in the USA. The problem: Surrogacy is illegal in Germany, and Spahn himself, as Health Minister and member of parliament, had repeatedly and clearly opposed it. Just a few months ago, the CDU even reaffirmed its ban on "altruistic surrogacy" at its party conference in Stuttgart. Now, criticism is pouring in from within his own party: The Women's Union and the Senior Citizens' Union are publicly demanding Spahn's resignation, and CDU board member Hubert Hüppe speaks of a politician who uses power and money to override applicable law. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also commented – conspicuously briefly and evasively. On NIUS Live, we discuss why the real question is not ethical but political, and why Spahn's own past statements are now backfiring on him. It is a case that strikes at the very core of the CDU and its Christian self-image. On NIUS Live, NIUS Editor-in-Chief Julian Reichelt, NIUS Head of Politics Ralf Schuler, and Apollo News Editor-in-Chief Max Mannhart discussed the topic with host Alexander Kissler. ⚠️👉Watch it now, like, share, and subscribe! 🔴 NIUS LIVE, Germany's biggest conservative morning show, every Monday to Friday starting at 6 a.m. Now on nius.de, DAB+, and YouTube.
