- German conservative parliamentary leader resigns over surrogacy debate
Jens Spahn, a senior lawmaker with Germany's Christian Democrats, resigned as the party's parliamentary leader after controversy over using a surrogate to have a child in the United States, which is illegal in Germany. The party opposes surrogacy, leading to calls for his resignation, and Chancellor Friedrich Merz described the resignation as 'right and inevitable.'
