Commentary Analysis by Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns on the Critique Titled 'Daring Gamble with Citizens' Confidence'
In a recent response to a comment published in the Lünen edition of the Ruhr Nachrichten on 29 August 2025, Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns has clarified a factual error regarding his role and the city's future. The comment, titled "Risky Game with Citizen Trust", suggested that the mayor was only acting in a temporary capacity after the municipal election.
Mayor Kleine-Frauns, however, remains in office until the end of his term, not just in a temporary capacity. His responsibility does not end on election day, but only with the end of his term on 31 October 2025.
The mayor has ensured that clubs, schools, and providers of social services have planning security and the administration has the ability to act. This is crucial, as it would be irresponsible to leave the city without an approved budget, especially since a political agreement has been reached.
It would be a form of electoral fraud if politics promises things to the people of Lünen that it cannot keep after the election, either at all or only through tax increases. The incumbent council and democratic forces are demonstrating strength and honesty, not engaging in a risky game.
Editor Hans-Georg Gottfried Dittmann's comment "Risky Game with Citizen Trust" is based on a serious error. The error stems from a superficial analysis and requires correction. Critical reporting and strong opinions deserve respect, but they must be based on correct facts.
Mayor Kleine-Frauns' statement was made in response to the comment "Risky Game with Citizen Trust" and was published in a news article in the Ruhr Nachrichten on 20 September 2025. The successor of Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns in Lünen after his term ends on October 31, 2025, is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results.
The news article and the mayor's response serve as a reminder of the importance of factual accuracy in journalism and politics. It is essential that all parties involved in the governance and reporting of our cities strive for truth and transparency to maintain the trust of the citizens they serve.
