In the morning a warning to the population not to organize private parties, in the evening a dinner for twelve conspirators, including Spahn, in Leipzig, and then CSU clans who preoccupy the minister with dubious mask deals just before the first lockdown last March, such as the one "Spiegel" writes down in detail - is Jens Spahn still in his senses?
Is his team partner in the CDU, Armin Laschet, are the Christian Democrats and the CSU aware of what that can mean?
In order to measure the unspeakable little way in which Spahn is destroying trust as health minister and deputy CDU chairman, it is necessary to take a look at the great legacy of March 1, 1946. Exactly 75 years ago, Konrad Adenauer became the CDU leader of the British CDU Zone and started a revolution that ended with a new Germany.
The CDU is the only successful attempt in the world to date to politically overcome the split in the Reformation, and Adenauer persevered in his modest house in Rhöndorf, even though the Protestant Church passionately protested against his rearmament in the early 1950s.
He introduced the social market economy and the dynamic pension.
The CDU acts in such dimensions.
Actually.
And now, 75 years later, one of Adenauer's political heirs gets involved with family members of former CSU politicians who sell overpriced masks from an unclear source and drinks wine in the evening even though he preached water in the morning?
And that in the first German lockdown since the winners marched in in May 1945?

The polls for the Union are based solely on trust.
Laschet and Merkel now have to decide.
One will have to forgive each other for a lot, Spahn said in April.
That's right - after the consequences have been drawn.
If they fail, the Union will gamble away its most important capital.
Then Friedrich Merz might get his third chance.
Or Angela Merkel her fifth.
