Commentary by Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns Regarding the Critique 'Dangerous Betrayal of Public Confidence'
In a statement made on the 29th of August 2025, published in the Ruhr Nachrichten, Lünen edition, Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns addressed concerns about the city's budget. The statement was a response to a commentary titled "Risky Game with Citizen Trust," penned by Editor Hans-Georg Gottfried Dittmann.
Mayor Kleine-Frauns reiterated the importance of having an approved budget for the city, especially given the recent political agreement. He assured the people of Lünen that he would ensure the city has an approved budget until the last day of his term, which ends on the 31st of October 2025.
The Mayor's responsibility extends beyond election day, and he is fulfilling his duties by ensuring planning security for associations, schools, and providers of social services, and allowing the administration to act effectively. It's worth noting that an incumbent mayor, even if they do not run for re-election, remains in office until the end of their term, not merely in a temporary capacity.
Critical reporting and strong opinions deserve respect, but they must be based on correct facts. The assertion in the commentary that Mayor Kleine-Frauns is acting in a temporary capacity after the municipal election is factually incorrect.
The incumbent council and democratic forces in Lünen are demonstrating strength and honesty by avoiding promises they cannot keep. It would be a form of electoral fraud for politics to promise things to the people of Lünen that it cannot keep, such as by raising taxes.
As for the successor of Mayor Kleine-Frauns, who will step down on the 31st of October 2025, the available sources do not explicitly mention a named candidate.
Mayor Kleine-Frauns' commitment to the city of Lünen and its citizens is evident in his dedication to ensuring a stable and secure future, even as his term comes to an end. The people of Lünen can rest assured that the city will have an approved budget until the last day of his tenure.
