Spahn Reimburses €5,000 in Missed Party Dues

Having acknowledged he overlooked the extra deputy chair fee, he has resumed the higher €1,200 monthly rate required for his position.

Unionsfraktionschef Jens Spahn (CDU) hat 5000 Euro an seine Partei nachgezahlt, weil er über mehrere Jahre seine Mandatsträgerabgabe nicht vollständig entrichtet hat.

Overview

  • During his tenure as deputy chair from December 2021 to May 2025, Spahn paid only the basic €730 contribution instead of the €870 rate due for his role.
  • The CDU’s financial reports for 2022 and 2023 flagged the underpayment in its internal oversight reviews.
  • In July 2025, Spahn settled the €5,000 shortfall and described the lapse as an inadvertent oversight.
  • Since becoming CDU/CSU parliamentary faction chair in May, he has been paying the €1,200 monthly contribution mandated for that office.
  • The case underscores the party’s tiered dues structure and its mechanisms for retroactive settlements and financial transparency.
