Surrogacy is not permitted in Germany and the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) opposes its legalization. Spahn and his husband had their child through a surrogate mother in the US.
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.
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.

A fucked up person in a fucked up party.

With all the other cases of corruption he did before, the party earned money; in this case not.
