Merz floats government reshuffle after top conservative’s resignation

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz indicated a possible government reshuffle following the resignation of CDU parliamentary leader Jens Spahn over surrogacy revelations. Spahn stepped down after it was disclosed he and his husband had a child through a U.S. surrogate, a practice banned in Germany. Merz described the potential reshuffle as an opportunity but declined to confirm any specific replacements.
