The municipal elections in Mülheim an der Ruhr 2009 took place within the framework of the municipal elections in North Rhine-Westphalia 2009 on August 30, 2009. In the election, every Mülheimer from 16 years of age who is a citizen of an EU country had three votes: one vote for the election of the mayor, one vote for the council of the city of Mülheim and one vote for the district representation of his city district.

Parties and groups of voters

In the independent city of Mülheim an der Ruhr , four parties ( SPD , CDU , Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen , FDP ) and two groups of voters ( MBI and WIR ) had mandates in the council or in the district representatives in the 14th session of the council.

Mülheim an der Ruhr ranks 18th in the list of the most populous cities in North Rhine-Westphalia with almost 170,000 inhabitants. In the 2004 local elections, over 13% opted for non-established groups. In 1994 the first black-green coalition ruled here in a North Rhine-Westphalian city.

From 2004 to 2009 the SPD ruled with the CDU.

Central issues of local politics are Ruhrbania , the further development of the airport and the poor financial situation of the city. Individual representatives are already calling for emergency budget law to be imposed on the city.

Since the council elections in 1999, the MBI and the SPD in particular have been arguing violently with each other. The MBI had entered the council with three representatives. Its central theme was the rejection of the expansion of the Essen / Mülheim airfield , for which the SPD is advocating. The SPD only had a majority with the FDP when council member Mounir Yassine moved from the MBI to the SPD parliamentary group shortly after the election . The MBI accused the SPD of bribery and buying offices. In the 2004 election, Yassine entered the council for the SPD. In the meantime, at the instigation of the SPD, Yassine was hired by the Mülheim supply company. When it became public that he had presented a falsified testimony when he was hired, he was also expelled from the SPD parliamentary group and has been a non-party member of the council since 2008.

Election to the city council of Mülheim

Due to its size, Mülheim has a city council with at least 58 members. The third strongest force behind the SPD and CDU are the Mülheim Citizens' Initiatives (MBI) . Due to the grand coalition, the MBI is the strongest opposition force and appears again and again in the media and on the Internet against the SPD and the Mayor Mühlenfeld .

The Marxist-Leninist personal election alliance “Voters Initiative Ruhr Alternative Independent Solidaric - WIR FROM Mülheim ” won two seats in the 2004 election. Detlef Habig, who was on the MBI list in 1999 and joined the council for WIR in 2004, resigned from the voting alliance and the WIR AUS Mülheim parliamentary group in August 2007 .

Individual evidence

1. ↑ Frank Helling: The key to the dispute. In: Neue Ruhr Zeitung - www.derwesten.de. August 10, 2007, accessed on July 7, 2015 : "The disputes about the WIR electoral alliance continue to escalate:" Sabine Schweizerhof now asked me to give her the keys for the parliamentary group office so that Frank Jesinski could take it over, "says WIR- Council member Detlef Habig to the NRZ. Both are on the board of the electoral alliance WIR and members of the Marxist-Leninist party MLPD. "Of course, I refused and explained to her that although I left the electoral alliance, the group still exists and it has absolutely no claim to anything." This is correct, because the alliance and the council group are two different levels: it is absolutely possible to leave a party or an electoral alliance, but remain a member of the parliamentary group, and vice versa.
