Andreas Franz Scheuer (born 26 September 1974) is a German politician of the Christian Social Union (CSU) party.
[4] In the negotiations to form a Grand Coalition of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU together with the Bavarian CSU) and the Social Democrats (SPD) following the 2013 federal elections, Scheuer was part of the SPD delegation in the working group on transport, building and infrastructure, led by Peter Ramsauer and Florian Pronold.
Scheuer's ministry is said to have broken budgetary and public procurement law when concluding the multi-billion dollar contracts with the operators and "deliberately deceived" the Bundestag about the real costs of the car toll.
[7][8][9] In January 2024, Scheuer announced that he would not stand in the 2025 federal elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the parliamentary term.
[10] In addition, Scheuer is a member of the broadcasting council of the German ZDF public television channel for the CSU party.
In 2016 he demanded a "political aftermath" within the council because of the late reporting of the channel about the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany.
