Former CDU/CSU parliamentary group leader Jens Spahn gave up his seat on the Bundestag budget committee on September 28. He announced his decision after criticism that followed his absence from a committee session and a trip to Sardinia. Tagesspiegel ↗
Spahn stated that the politicization of his person makes normal work on the committee impossible for him. This is already his second departure from a significant political position in a short period of time. Previously, he stepped down as leader of the Union's parliamentary group. Die Zeit ↗
According to reports in the media, the decision is related to discontent within his own parliamentary group. The criticism concerned mainly his absence from the budget committee's session at a time when he was in Sardinia. Spahn wants to focus his attention on his family. n-tv ↗
The budget committee is among the most important committees of the Bundestag, as it deals with the federal budget and public finances. Spahn's relinquishment of the mandate therefore represents a further blow to his political standing. Spiegel.de ↗
The former parliamentary group leader remains a member of the Bundestag, but his further role within the CDU and his political future are uncertain after a series of controversies. Giving up his committee membership is meant to end the dispute over his workload and allow him to devote himself to family matters. Sueddeutsche Zeitung ↗
