Conservative Party (CDU) should remain open to right-wing supporters, according to Spahn
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn, currently in the public eye, has expressed his belief that the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has a significant potential to gain support among young people and those with a migration background.
In a series of statements, Spahn emphasised the importance of integrating people from all walks of life into the party's centre. He stated that the CDU should remain a centrist party that offers a home to people with different backgrounds.
One of the key groups Spahn identified for health policy measures under the CDU is active or former heavy smokers aged 50 to 75 years, particularly those with at least 25 years of smoking history. He suggested implementing lung cancer early detection measures such as low-dose CT scans for this group.
Spahn, a CDU member since 1980, also stressed that someone who has been in the party for decades should still find their home in the CDU, even if they have a different understanding of society than younger people. He clarified that having more conservative views than, for instance, Saskia Esken, does not make someone far-right.
A photograph of Spahn, taken by the dts Nachrichtenagentur, was published recently. The photograph may have been taken during an interview, press conference, or at his office or workplace. The image is now available for distribution or viewing by the public, having been taken for the purpose of news reporting.
Spahn's statements come after the federal election, where he urged the CDU to remain open to people with diverse backgrounds. He believes many young people and those with a migration background share the CDU's values and that the party has good prospects of gaining their support.
