Mike Mohring, the ex-CDU leader in Thuringia, is stepping down from his political roles and will not run for the state parliament, following a resolution passed by the CDU state executive. The decision stems from allegations of payment irregularities involving Mohring's private birthday party, which were initially covered by the CDU district association.
Mohring held significant positions within the CDU, including being a member of the CDU federal executive, chair of the conference of budget and financial policy spokespersons for the CDU/CSU state parliamentary groups and a member of the federal executive of the SME and Economic Union.
The state executive committee has concluded that the district association paid 8377.93 euros for Mohring's birthday party, which has severely damaged his credibility as a mandate and office holder. In response, they have urged Mohring to resign from his political positions and refrain from standing as a candidate in the 2024 state elections.
This move by the CDU in Thuringia could spell the end of Mohring's political career within the party, signaling some level of internal opposition to his continued involvement. While the particular reason for this opposition is not explicitly stated, it's often the case in political circles that past controversies or conflicts can lead to divisions within a party.
