Jens Spahn confirms attendance at Peter Thiel's 'Dialog' network meetings

Jens Spahn, a prominent CDU politician and former German Health Minister, has confirmed his participation in several private meetings organized by US billionaire Peter Thiel's 'Dialog' network. These gatherings, which Spahn attended irregularly between 2018 and 2024, took place in various European locations including Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Germany.

However, Spahn will not attend the next scheduled meeting in Dublin this August. The secretive 'Dialog' network came under scrutiny following a data leak reported by Wired magazine. The leaked attendee list for the Dublin meeting reportedly includes high-profile figures such as Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and US Senator Ted Cruz.

The network's agenda reportedly features controversial topics like "Back to Nuclear Power," "Getting Through World War III," and "How is your sex life?" Peter Thiel, a German-born tech investor, is known for his libertarian and right-wing conservative views, his association with former US President Donald Trump, and his criticism of liberal democracies. Recently, discussions about Thiel's apocalyptic outlook and religious ideology have also surfaced, leading to the cancellation of a discussion event with him at the Vienna Festival.
