Comment from Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns in response to the article titled 'Dangerous Maneuvering of Public Trust'

In a response to the article titled "Risky Game with Citizen Trust," published on August 29, 2025, in the Ruhr Nachrichten, Lünen edition, Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns has clarified several points regarding his role and responsibilities.

The article, which has since been the subject of much discussion, was based on a factual error. Mayor Kleine-Frauns, contrary to the assertion made in the article, is not acting in an interim capacity after the municipal election. He will remain in office until the end of his term on October 31, 2025.

The comment made by Mayor Kleine-Frauns, titled "Risky Game with Citizen Trust," was published in the Ruhr Nachrichten, Lünen edition on September 2025. In his statement, he emphasised the importance of honesty and transparency in political discourse.

Promising things to the people of Lünen that cannot be kept after the election, either by not fulfilling them or by increasing taxes, would be a form of election fraud. Mayor Kleine-Frauns reiterated his commitment to fulfilling his responsibilities, ensuring planning security for clubs, schools, and social service providers.

It would be irresponsible to leave the city without a budget, even though a political agreement has been reached. Mayor Kleine-Frauns highlighted the importance of financial stability and the need for careful budgeting to ensure the city's long-term prosperity.

Critical reporting and strong opinions deserve respect, but they must be based on correct facts. The incumbent council and democratic forces are demonstrating strength and honesty by telling the people of Lünen the truth.

Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns' responsibility does not end on election day, but only with the end of his term on October 31, 2025. The person who will leave office as the mayor of Lünen on that date is not explicitly named in the available search results.

The comment by Mayor Jürgen Kleine-Frauns was made on September 2025, in response to the article in Ruhr Nachrichten, Lünen edition. His statement serves as a reminder that honesty and transparency are crucial in maintaining the trust of the citizens he serves.
