Jens Spahn
Minister again soon? The eerie return of the provocateur
Copy the current link
Jens Spahn was considered politically dead. But the CDU man is now more important in his party than he has been for a long time – also because he deals harshly against migrants.
There are evenings when Jens Spahn fires out more sayings than other politicians in their entire career. Like recently in Backnang, Swabia. “Before we bring bakers from Ghana, we should get the people here through training,” he shouts. Applause!
Or: “For some, you’re already right-wing extremist if you say there are two biological genders.” Laughter! Or: “Climate deniers? I just call the Greens migration deniers.” Whoop!
