CDU/CSU party leader Jens Spahn announced the birth of his son, Georg, a development that has generated significant public discussion. The child was born through a surrogate mother in the United States. Because surrogate motherhood is prohibited under German law, this personal decision has led to political controversy within Spahn’s own party.
In an exclusive interview with BILD, Spahn addressed his fatherhood and the ensuing political implications. Regarding the birth of his son, Georg, Spahn stated, “It’s simply a wonderful feeling.” He emphasized that both he and his wife have long desired to start a family and expressed their profound happiness about the arrival of their son. Spahn also openly discussed his personal journey regarding the topic.
He acknowledged that the issue of surrogate motherhood had been a source of long-term struggle for him. The circumstances surrounding the birth have prompted calls for Spahn’s resignation from some members of his party. Despite the political backlash, Spahn maintained his focus on his family life.
