Jens Spahn was Minister of Health, is now the leader of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group and would like to become a chancellor. But he has a problem: Germans do not trust him.
First there were allegations about the expensive mask procurement during Corona pandemic, then the election of federal constitutional judges in the Bundestag had to be taken from the agenda. Jens Spahn, the former Federal Minister of Health and today’s parliamentary group leader of CDU/CSU, is criticized for poor crisis management.
In the citizens, the doubts of his person are growing: like a Forsa survey for the star The result is that 75 percent of Germans consider the CDU politician to be little or no trustworthy. Only two percent find him very trustworthy. Five percent do not comment.
Jens Spahn played the trust of the Germans
It is not surprising that Spahn spend the supporters of the other parties little or no trust. The majority of supporters of the left (89 percent), the AfD (86 percent), the Greens (84 percent) and even the coalition partner SPD (67 percent) comment express themselves. But 60 percent of the CDU/CSU voters also distrust the parliamentary group leader. Just four percent of his own clientele trust him very much and only 33 percent predominantly.
The survey took place on Thursday and Friday last week. Until Thursday, the procurement of masks during the Corona period was particularly subject. Spahns act as Federal Minister of Health is said to have led to additional billions. The Greens and Leftists therefore call for an committee of inquiry of the Bundestag. When the election of federal constitutional judges was taken from the agenda on Friday, Spahn’s crisis management focused on. First the parliamentary group leader is said to have signaled the coalition partner SPD that his election proposal will be accepted. After the union criticism of the candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, Spahn moved away from the agreements.
