Remark from Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns in response to the article, 'Daring games with citizen confidence'
In the city of Lünen, Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns has been working diligently to ensure the smooth operation of the city administration, despite recent misconceptions presented in the Ruhr Nachrichten.
On August 29, 2025, a comment titled 'Risky Game with Citizen Trust' was published in the Lünen edition of the Ruhr Nachrichten. The comment, penned by Editor Hans-Georg Gottfried Dittmann, suggested that Mayor Kleine-Frauns was only acting in a temporary capacity after the municipal election. However, this assertion is factually incorrect.
Mayor Kleine-Frauns, in a response published on September 2025, addressed this misconception. He stated that an incumbent mayor remains in office until the end of their term, not just in a temporary capacity. He also clarified that he is fulfilling his responsibilities, including ensuring planning security for clubs, schools, and social service providers.
The political agreement that enabled the city administration to act and provided planning security to institutions and service providers was reached by the current council of Lünen, which includes members from multiple parties. The exact party affiliations involved in this agreement are not detailed in the available search results.
It is important to note that promising things to the people of Lünen that cannot be kept after the election, either at all or only through tax increases, would be a form of election fraud. The incumbent council and democratic forces are demonstrating strength and honesty in their actions.
Critical reporting and strong opinions deserve respect, but they must be based on correct facts. Mayor Kleine-Frauns' responsibility does not end on election day, but only with the end of his term on 31 October 2025.
The Ruhr Nachrichten is a newspaper, and while it plays a crucial role in informing the public, it is essential that the information it presents is accurate. The misconception about Mayor Kleine-Frauns' role in the city administration, as presented in the comment 'Risky Game with Citizen Trust,' was based on a significant error.
Mayor Kleine-Frauns' comment was published in the same Lünen edition of the Ruhr Nachrichten where the initial comment was made, providing a platform for clarification and correction of the misinformation. This serves as a reminder of the importance of fact-checking and the responsibility that comes with journalism.
