The Chairman of the CDU in Thuringia, Mike Mohring, is seriously ill. He posted a video on Facebook announcing he was under treatment. His environment was said to have cancer.
An announced operation in October had gone well, everything was good, said Mohring in the Facebook video. "But the doctors here have not only found something good, and that's why I've been in treatment since November, now half behind me, and in February, we'll close it off," he explained. Next, the 47-year-old said it all went well, but you see the external effects: "My doctor is my hairdresser, so to speak." In the video Mohring wears a cap.
In the evening he participated in the CDU board meeting in Potsdam. There he reaffirmed his demand for the introduction of a basic pension before the elections. Mohring had been elected in mid-October to the leading candidate of the CDU for the state election in Thuringia in the coming year. From his environment it was said that he wanted to continue to lead the group.
Mohring did not comment on the nature of the disease in the video. He asked for consideration, piety and understanding that the recovery process was very important to him and that he could not and did not want to take on all upcoming appointments. "The doctors assume that the chance of recovery is 95 percent, so a very, very good prognosis, but just need time for yourself and strength for recovery." Mohring thanked his family, friends and closest political associates for their support and support.
