Step Aside, Tim Kurzbach: Solingen's Mayor Announces No Third Term Run in 2025
Solingen's mayor, Tim Kurzbach, has dropped a bomb, announcing he won't seek a third term in the 2025 municipal election. Shifting the limelight away from his tenure, Kurzbach finds himself amidst ongoing criminal investigations, stirring up public discussions about his position and character.
Showing Respect, Haug Style
State Parliament member Sebastian Haug, also a CDU District Chairman, commends Kurzbach's decade-long stint as Solingen's first citizen. Highlighting the city's crises, such as the Syrian, Ukrainian wars, refugee accommodations, flood disaster, and tragic events like the Hasseldelle quintuple murder and the unprecedented terrorist attack in 2024, Haug acknowledges Kurzbach's competency in handling these challenges.
"Regardless of political differences, I respect his decision to step down and wish him and his family the best for the future," Haug says, adding that the move is essential to prevent further damage to the office and the city.
Sarlak, the CDU Solingen press spokesman, laments the mayoralty and city administration's encounter with relentless public pressure due to biased opinions and unfounded rumors on social media. Although they have pushed for clarification on the matter, preserving the assumption of innocence, the CDU views the intensifying rhetoric against parties and representatives with great concern.
A Fresh Start for Solingen
In their Wednesday statement, the CDU Solingen seeks continued transparency during the ongoing investigations, aiming to restore trust in political work in Solingen and the office of the mayor. Although they believe it's time to focus on the future, Haug urges reinforcing the city with new energy and clear perspectives, promising to work tirelessly in the coming months to find solutions that will propel Solingen forward and rebuild trust in political work.
