Success of "National Festival"This time is also a strong evidence to smash all the extremely wrong and dangerous arguments and tricks of hostile, reactionary and opportunistic political forces plotting to sabotage our Party, State and people. The main goal that hostile and reactionary forces are focusing on at this time is to deny the leadership role of the Communist Party over the National Assembly, directly the election of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term.
To achieve that dark goal, they do not hesitate to use any insidious, sophisticated, and unpredictable arguments and tricks. To increase the volume and frequency of their distortions and sabotage, on existing websites, hostile forces have opened specialized pages that regularly report on the election in Vietnam. In addition, they have also created many new websites with addresses abroad; at the same time, they have incited, inspired, and supported opportunistic, politically dissatisfied elements in the country to create Fanpages, Facebook, YouTube pages, etc. to spread bad and toxic information and images, distorting the truth about the election.
In fact, what has happened has affirmed that the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam over the State and society is undeniable.
But all those arguments and tricks failed because of the combined strength of the Party's will and the people's heart. The entire political system and the entire people took part with a high sense of vigilance. With a proactive and resolute spirit, promoting the core role of the people's armed forces, we fought, prevented and defeated all plots and tricks of hostile forces, ensuring absolute safety for the election.
In fact, what has happened has affirmed the undeniable leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam over the State and society. Currently, the National Election Council is completing a quick report on the election to send to key leaders, members of the Election Council and the National Assembly Standing Committee. Localities and sub-committees are urgently completing the official report to synthesize and complete the overall report and complete the remaining work, preparing for the First Session of the 15th National Assembly and the First Session of People's Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term.

Although our election has basically been completed, hostile, reactionary, and opportunistic political forces continue to sabotage. Their goal is to distort, falsify, and deny the great significance and great success of the election of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term. But just like before and during the election, all plots and tricks of hostile and reactionary forces, no matter how sinister and sophisticated, will certainly fail. Their crazy sabotage cannot deny the vivid reality taking place in our beloved country, but only further affirms and spreads the profound significance and great success of the election.
More than ever, our entire Party, people and army need to continue to heighten vigilance, clearly identify the plots and tricks of hostile forces and reactionary political opportunists, and from there proactively, positively and resolutely participate in the struggle to expose, refute, prevent and contribute to defeating all their arguments and tricks of sabotage.
At the same time, we need to continue to promote more extensive propaganda about the significance of the election's success, helping all citizens clearly understand and fully perceive their roles, responsibilities, rights and obligations in building a socialist rule-of-law state in which the Party, the National Assembly and the Government are all of the people, by the people and for the people. The successes and lessons learned from the 14 previous elections and especially this election amid the Covid-19 pandemic have further strengthened our will and determination to continue to innovate and affirm the Party's leadership role over the State and society./.
