CDU: Jens Spahn geht offenbar für Union in den Haushaltausschuss
Nachdem Spahn seinen Posten als Unionsfraktionsvorsitzender wegen Kritik an seiner Vaterschaft per Leihmutter räumte, soll nun wohl ein neuer Posten für den CDU-Politiker gefunden worden sein.
Former CDU/CSU faction leader Jens Spahn will reportedly sit in the Bundestag's Budget Committee in the future, according to Reuters. The 46-year-old, considered a key figure in the Merkel-led coalition, was reportedly ousted in July amid controversy over his stance on surrogacy and internal pressure. Initially, it was unclear whether he would continue his political career, but in recent weeks, it became clear that he intended to stay in the Bundestag.
CDU boss Markus Söder had stated in July that Spahn's political career was not over, predicting that someone with his talent and political influence would eventually take on a leading role again. Spahn met with his successor Thorsten Frei, CSU state party chairman Alexander Hoffmann, and SPD faction leader Matthias Miersch at a dinner during the CDU/CSU and SPD executive faction members' meeting in Münster last week. Neither Spahn nor the CDU/CSU faction could be reached for comment.
