Source title: Kan Man Købe Tavshed i Sønderborg

Text version dated 8 Nov 2024

Kan Man Købe Tavshed i Sønderborg? Ellen Trane Nørby og Spørgsmålet om Magtens Pris Når en politiker som Ellen Trane Nørby kæmper for at blive borgmester i Sønderborg, kan man ikke undgå at undre sig: Hvor mange gange skal man tabe, før man erkender, at byen måske ikke ønsker én ved roret? Ellen Trane Nørby har tidligere lidt nederlag, og spørgsmålet er, om hendes ambitioner for Sønderborg overhovedet er i synk med borgernes ønsker.

Samtidig rejser det et andet spørgsmål: Hvorfor vælger hun at bakke op om personer som Peter Hansen – en figur, der i årevis har arbejdet bag kulisserne uden nogen egentlig succes med at blive folkevalgt til markante poster? Men selv uden en officiel titel har Peter Hansen formået at holde Sønderborg i et jerngreb – nu med Ellen Trane Nørby som frontfigur. Ellen Trane Nørby er uden tvivl en veltalende politiker, men hvor bliver hun af, når de svære spørgsmål dukker op?

Hvorfor svarer hun aldrig på, hvorfor hun støtter op om de magtfulde "banditter i habitter," som tilsyneladende har den reelle magt i Sønderborg? Hvorfor er der ingen hos Venstre, der stiller spørgsmål ved disse åbenlyse uregelmæssigheder? Er det fordi Venstre og Ellen Trane Nørby får noget ud af at se den anden vej?

Er det en politisk strategisk tavshed, der kan købes, eller er Ellen simpelthen så travlt optaget af sine mange bestyrelsesposter, at hun ikke har lagt mærke til, hvad der egentlig foregår i kommunen? Ellen har været med til at bevillige hundredevis af millioner fra Sønderborgs anlægsbudget til sin gode ven Jørgen Mads Clausen, Danfoss-ejeren, som gang på gang synes at kunne bøje reglerne til egen fordel. Senest er der gået store summer til Danfoss-ejerens resort, bygget ved siden af Danfoss' generationsforurening ved Himmark Strand.

Hvem bygger dog et familieresort på en af Danmarks største forureninger? Dette er et andet godt spørgsmål til en anden dag. JydskeVestkysten har som sædvanlig valgt ikke at dække disse sager, tilsyneladende fordi nogen har fortalt dem, at det ikke er interessant for medierne.

I Sønderborg er alt som i Korsbæk. Men hvad tror du, Ellen Trane Nørby svarede på denne mail? Vi deler mailen og vedhæftningerne her for din vurdering.

Er der mon en fremtid for Ellen Trane Nørby som borgmester? Eller er hun simpelthen blevet for tæt på de magtfulde mænd i Sønderborg? Læs mail og dokumenterne her ---------- Forwarded message --------- Fra: ejeren Date: tirs. 22. nov. 2022 kl. 20.02 Subject: Der foregår uregelmæssigheder i den kommune du repræsenterer.

Ellen Trane Nørby To: <etn@sonderborg.dk> Kære byrådsmedlem Ellen Trane Nørby Der foregår uregelmæssigheder i den kommune du repræsenterer. Lovgivning, der burde være ens for alle, bøjes i forvaltningen helt ud til kanten for at favorisere en udvalgt gruppe af borgere - og hæmme initiativ og udvikling hos andre. I mange tilfælde går man så langt, at landets love tilsyneladende ikke overholdes.

Som folkevalgt formoder jeg, at du, over for dine vælgere, har en forpligtelse til at medvirke til, at alle borgere får samme fair behandling i Sønderborg Kommune. Derfor føler jeg, at du skal være informeret om, at virkeligheden i øjeblikket er en helt anden. Mens forvaltningen lægger så mange forhindringer ud for nogle byggeprojekter, at de sikkert aldrig bliver mulige at gennemføre, kører andre, helt tilsvarende sager, igennem på rekordtid.

I øvrigt med de samme sagsbehandlere. Udefra ser det ud til at en gruppe af byens erhvervsfolk, stort set kan diktere forvaltningens afgørelser på forhånd. Eksempelvis vil en uvildig undersøgelse af 3 byggesager som: Sergenten, Møllestedgård og Skansegården kunne afsløre, at den samme sagsbehandler/bevaringsarkitekt har vurderet utroligt forskelligt i de enkelte sager.

Jeg har præcis dokumentation, der viser, hvor forskelligt der vurderes. I Sønderborg er alle ikke lige for loven, og det har, trods mange forsøg, vist sig helt umuligt at få sat fokus på problemerne internt i kommunen. Et tidligere forsøg på at påpege forskelsbehandlingen i en kommunal sagsbehandlers vurderinger gav en kraftig respons fra Sønderborg kommune ledelse - men desværre kun i form af en nægtelse af, at der overhovedet var et problem.

Derfor forsøger jeg nu, med et team af specialister, at få instanser uden for Sønderborg til at vurdere nogle af de mest åbenlyst forskelsbehandlede sager. Det involverer eksempelvis Vejdirektoratet, Planklagenævnet m.fl. Jeg er naturligvis klar over, at forvaltningen ikke kan agere helt ude af samklang med de politiske udvalg - hvorfor disse oplysninger sikkert ikke er ny viden for alle.

Da jeg ikke ved, hvor mange politikere der er en del af dette spil - eller er vidende om, at det foregår - sender jeg denne tekst til dig og alle andre byrådsmedlemmer. Jeg beder dig om at bruge nogle minutter på at se på den vedlagte dokumentation, der primært er bragt til veje gennem aktindsigt. Materialet sendes desuden til planklagenævnet.

Planklagenævnet - Klage vedr. Gerlachsgade 2 og 10, Sønderborg Overskridelse af byggefelter, mangelfuld miljøscreening/miljøvurdering, manglende hensyntagen til oprindelig arkitektur og bevaringsværdig brostensbelægning m.m. Hvordan får man lov til at etablere et koncertsted med blandt andet et sygehus som nabo?

Diverse spørgsmål og aktindsigtsanmodninger vedr. parkeringsforhold langs Nørre Havnegade mm. Nørre Havnegade 21-25 (Hotel Alsik) Hvordan kan man afvikle arrangementer med plads til op til 1500 gæster, når man kun råder over 21 parkeringspladser? Samtidig er Venstre og DF imod, at der etableres et motel med 32 værelser på kaserneområdet - blandt andet med begrundelse i de trafikale udfordringer.

I øvrigt en sag, som tidligere Venstrepolitiker, Peter Hansen bragte i medierne. Det ser ud til, at Hansen i praksis stadig er politisk ordfører i Venstre, selv om han har forladt byrådet. Under alle omstændigheder fremførte Venstre og DF villigt Hansens synspunkter i en byrådsdebat, der skabte en smule morskab over Danmarks liberale partis pludselige modvilje mod erhvervsudvikling.

Det er naturligvis Peter Hansens ildhu, der har rettet vores opmærksomhed mod de andre projekter på kaserneområdet. Flere sager på vej De vedlagte akter er kun toppen af isbjerget, men de rummer sager, der giver dig mulighed for ved selvsyn at konstatere, at der er noget helt galt i forvaltningen. Jeg har dokumentation på snesevis af sager, hvor sagsbehandlingen har været lige så mangelfuld eller tilfældig.

Jeg håber, at du vil kunne bruge oplysningerne i dit politiske arbejde. Under alle omstændigheder har jeg gjort dig opmærksom på problematikken. Jeg står naturligvis til rådighed, hvis du har spørgsmål eller brug for uddybende dokumentation.

Can you buy silence in Sønderborg: Ellen Trane Nørby and the question of the price of power

When a politician like Ellen Trane Nørby is fighting to become mayor of Sønderborg, one cannot help but wonder: How many times do you have to lose before you realize that the city might not want someone at the helm? Ellen Trane Nørby has suffered defeat in the past, and the question is whether her ambitions for Sønderborg are even in sync with the wishes of the citizens. At the same time, it raises another question: Why does she choose to back people like Peter Hansen – a figure who has been working behind the scenes for years without any real success in being elected to significant posts?

But even without an official title, Peter Hansen has managed to keep Sønderborg in an iron grip – now with Ellen Trane Nørby as the front man.

Ellen Trane Nørby is no doubt an eloquent politician, but where does she go when the tough questions come up? Why does she never answer why she supports the powerful "bandits in robes," who apparently hold the real power in Sønderborg? Why is no one at Venstre questioning these obvious irregularities?

Is it because Venstre and Ellen Trane Nørby get something out of looking the other way? Is it a politically strategic silence that can be bought, or is Ellen simply so busy with her many board positions that she has not noticed what is really going on in the municipality? Ellen has helped grant hundreds of millions from Sønderborg's construction budget to her good friend Jørgen Mads Clausen, the Danfoss owner, who time and time again seems to be able to bend the rules to her advantage.

Most recently, large sums have been spent on the Danfoss owner's resort, built next to Danfoss's generation pollution at Himmark Strand. But who builds a family resort on one of Denmark's biggest polluters? This is another good question for another day.

JydskeVestkysten has, as usual, chosen not to cover these matters, apparently because someone has told them that it is not interesting to the media. In Sønderborg everything is like in Korsbæk.
But what do you think Ellen Trane Nørby replied to this mail? We are sharing the email and attachments here for your consideration.
Is there a future for Ellen Trane Nørby as mayor? Or has she simply become too close to the powerful men of Sønderborg?

Subject: There are irregularities in the municipality you represent. Ellen Trane Nørby
Two: <etn@sonderborg.dk>
Dear City Councilor Ellen Trane Nørby
There are irregularities in the municipality you represent.

Legislation, which should be the same for everyone, is bent to the edge in the administration to favor a selected group of citizens - and inhibit initiative and development in others. In many cases, they go so far that the country's laws are apparently not respected. As an elected representative, I assume that you, towards your constituents, have an obligation to help ensure that all citizens receive the same fair treatment in Sønderborg Kommune.

Therefore, I feel that you should be informed that the reality at the moment is completely different. While the administration puts so many obstacles in the way of some construction projects that they will probably never be possible to complete, other, completely similar cases, run through in record time. Incidentally, with the same case handlers.

From the outside, it appears that a group of the city's business people can largely dictate the administration's decisions in advance. For example, an unbiased examination of 3 construction cases such as: Sergenten, Møllestedgård and Skansegården could reveal that the same case manager/conservation architect has assessed incredibly differently in the individual cases. I have precise documentation that shows how differently things are assessed.

In Sønderborg, everyone is not equal before the law, and despite many attempts, it has proved completely impossible to focus on the problems internally in the municipality. An earlier attempt to point out the discrimination in a municipal case manager's assessments produced a strong response from Sønderborg municipality management - but unfortunately only in the form of a denial that there was a problem at all. That is why I am now trying, with a team of specialists, to get bodies outside Sønderborg to assess some of the most blatantly discriminatory cases.

It involves, for example, Vejdirektoratet, Planklagenævnet and others. I am of course aware that the administration cannot act completely out of sync with the political committees - which is why this information is probably not new knowledge to everyone. Since I do not know how many politicians are part of this game - or are aware that it is going on - I am sending this text to you and all other city council members.

I ask you to take a few minutes to look at the attached documentation, which was primarily brought to light through access to documents. The material is also sent to the planning appeal board. Planklagenævnet - Complaint regarding Gerlachsgade 2 and 10, Sønderborg
Exceeding the permitted building areas, insufficient environmental screening/environmental assessment, failure to take into account original architecture and cobblestone paving worthy of preservation, etc.

How do you get permission to establish a concert venue with, among other things, a hospital as a neighbour? Various questions and document access requests regarding parking conditions along Nørre Havnegade mm. Nørre Havnegade 21-25 (Hotel Alsik)
How can you run events with space for up to 1500 guests when you only have 21 parking spaces?

At the same time, Venstre and DF are against the establishment of a motel with 32 rooms in the barracks area - among other reasons, on the grounds of the traffic challenges. Incidentally, a case that former Politician from Venstre, Peter Hansen brought to the media. It seems that in practice Hansen is still political rapporteur in Venstre, even though he has left the city council.

In any case, Venstre and DF willingly advanced Hansen's views in a city council debate, which created some amusement at Denmark's Liberal Party's sudden aversion to business development. It is, of course, Peter Hansen's ardor that has drawn our attention to the other projects in the barracks area.

More cases on the way
The attached files are only the tip of the iceberg, but they contain cases that give you the opportunity to see for yourself that there is something completely wrong with the administration. I have documentation of dozens of cases where the case management has been equally flawed or haphazard. I hope that you will be able to use the information in your political work.

In any case, I have brought the problem to your attention. I am of course available if you have questions or need more detailed documentation. Kind regards
the owner
