Spahn's Resignation Triggers Major CDU Reshuffle — Merz Announces Further Changes

Jens Spahn's surprise resignation has triggered a major personnel reshuffle within Germany's CDU. Nina Warken is moving to the chancellery, Carsten Linnemann takes over the health ministry, while Fritz Güntzler turned down the transport ministry post via a late-night text message. Economics minister Katherina Reiche's future is also in doubt, and Chancellor Friedrich Merz has signalled further personnel moves. SPD deputy chancellor Lars Klingbeil was only informed of the changes rather than involved, raising questions about coalition stability ahead of upcoming state elections.
