Source title: Er Kjeld Stærk (V) involveret i korruption?

Text version dated 15 Nov 2024

Er Kjeld Stærk (V) involveret i korruption? Hvem er egentlig Kjeld Stærk? Som medlem af Venstre Sønderborg og formand for Udvalget for Erhverv og Grøn Vækst burde han være en nøgleperson i at sikre byens fremtid.

Med 40 års erfaring fra Danfoss, hvor han blandt andet var Vice President for Executive Projects, kunne man forvente, at hans ekspertise ville styrke kommunen. Men hvor går grænsen mellem offentlig tjeneste og private interesser? Hvordan kan det være, at en person, der er ansat for at fremme turismen, modarbejder et motelprojekt, der kunne tiltrække flere besøgende til byen?

Kjeld brugte sine overtalelsesevner til at påvirke byrådet til at afvise en lille bygning bag store konstruktioner - en tale, der blev afgørende for projektets fald. Kort tid efter blev der imidlertid præsenteret planer om at bygge 76+ nye boliger på en nærliggende grund—uden de samme bekymringer om trafik, design, bevaringsværdi eller støj. Hvorfor denne pludselige ændring i holdning?

Er der faktorer, vi ikke kender til? Desuden synes der at være et tæt samarbejde mellem Kjeld Stærk og Danfoss’ ejer, Jørgen Mads Clausen. Når Planklagenævnet påpeger ulovligheder i Danfoss’ bygninger, synes der ikke at ske noget.

Hvordan kan det være, at Danfoss tilsyneladende undgår konsekvenser? Det faktum, at Jørgen Mads Clausen har kontaktet arbejdsgivere for at få klagere fyret, rejser alvorlige spørgsmål om magtmisbrug. Den lokale presse har ikke dækket sagen efter beslutningen blev træffet, og naboerne holder sig tavse — måske af frygt for konsekvenser.

Hvorfor er der så stille, når det kommer til gennemsigtighed og retfærdighed i vores kommune? Erhvervsklubben i Sønderborg, hvor Kjeld og andre fra Venstre er medlem, opererer tilsyneladende uden for myndighedernes søgelys. Politikerne taler om gennemsigtighed, men hvad sker der, når de selv er involverede?

Hvorfor bliver visse projekter favoriseret, mens andre hæmmes uden en klar begrundelse? Hvad tror i Kjeld Stærk (V) svarede til denne email? ---------- Forwarded message --------- Fra: ejeren Date: tirs. 22. nov. 2022 kl. 20.04 Subject: Der foregår uregelmæssigheder i den kommune du repræsenterer. Kjeld Stærk To: <kst@sonderborg.dk> Kære byrådsmedlem Kjeld Stærk 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. Med venlig hilsen ejeren ---------- Klage vedr.

Is Kjeld Stærk (V) involved in corruption?

Who really is Kjeld Stærk? As a member of Venstre Sønderborg and chairman of the Committee for Business and Grøn Vækst he should be a key person in securing the city's future. With 40 years of experience from Danfoss, where he was, among other things, Vice President of Executive Projects, one could expect that his expertise would strengthen the municipality.

But where is the line between public service and private interests? How can a person employed to promote tourism oppose a motel project that could attract more visitors to the city? Kjeld used his persuasive skills to influence the city council to reject a small building behind large structures - a speech that became decisive in the project's downfall.

Shortly afterwards, however, plans were presented to build 76+ new homes on a nearby site—without the same concerns about traffic, design, conservation value or noise. Why this sudden change in attitude? Are there factors we don't know about?

Furthermore, there seems to be a close collaboration between Kjeld Stærk and Danfoss's owner, Jørgen Mads Clausen. When Planklagenævnet points out illegalities in Danfoss's buildings, nothing seems to happen. How is it that Danfoss seems to avoid consequences?

The fact that Jørgen Mads Clausen contacted employers to get complainants fired raises serious questions about abuse of power. The local press has not covered the case since the decision was made, and the neighbors are keeping quiet — perhaps for fear of consequences. Why is it so quiet when it comes to transparency and justice in our municipality?

The business club in Sønderborg, where Kjeld and others from Venstre are members, apparently operates outside the spotlight of the authorities. Politicians talk about transparency, but what happens when they themselves are involved? Why are certain projects favored while others are hampered for no clear reason?

Subject: There are irregularities in the municipality you represent. Kjeld Stærk
To: <kst@sonderborg.dk>
Dear City Councilor Kjeld Stærk
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 for 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, creating some amusement at Denmark's Liberal Party's sudden aversion to business development. It is, of course, Peter Hansen's ildhu that has directed 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
