CDU parliamentary leader Jens Spahn resigns after surrogacy revelation

Jens Spahn, leader of the CDU parliamentary group in the Bundestag and a close ally of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has resigned from his post. The move follows the revelation that an American surrogate gave birth to a child for him and his husband. The CDU officially opposes legalising surrogacy in Germany, creating an irreconcilable conflict with the party's stance.
