This is so fucked up. Jens Spahn is very well known for his corruption and has actively pushed back against legalisation of surrogate parenthood in Germany for years.
Now he circumvents the prohibitive laws by having such a child from overseas and that is where his party (and not just the higher-ups) draw the line.A fucked up person in a fucked up party.
Yeah, I’m baffled this is where they draw the line. I mean, on the one hand it’s a great day for Der Postillon, but on the other their job will get way harder. Now that he doesn’t write his own satire anymore, they have to start doing it themselves.
With all the other cases of corruption he did before, the party earned money; in this case not.
Yeah, the cases before were just normal behaviour, nothing to see. Who in the right state of mind would elect a non-corrupt politician? The idea alone 😂
Corrupt little crook, finally gets his comeuppance. And his “apology” stinks. I hope he will forever be banished to the back bench; Germany needs politicians who lead by example.
Good riddance!
The surrogacy story is a distraction. Spahn’s real credibility problem is the mask deal scandal: billions spent, dubious contracts, missing transparency, and taxpayers left carrying the risk. Resigning over the side issue while dodging accountability for the main one would be peak political theatre.
It’s sad that he couldn’t let the liberty to identity win, and instead decided that hypocrisy was more important. I hope that all can have surrogacy or transplants as an option, and that pride and love wins over restriction and self-repression!
