Central Conference 4, Session XII |
In Resolution 3 of the 10th Central Committee, Resolution 4 of the 11th Central Committee, and now Resolution 4 of the 12th Central Committee, we have all focused on the issue of Party building.
That affirms the Central Committee's determination to step up the fight against degradation within the Party and build a truly clean and strong Party, and build a contingent of Party members worthy of the Party's trust and prestige in leading the people and leading the cause of innovation.
Cadres, party members and people believe that: Without thorough rectification, self-criticism, criticism and self-examination, the Party organization will hardly be strong. If the Party is not strong, it cannot lead the country. Therefore, rectification is necessary and must be effective, creating trust among the people.
Concerned about being exemplary to keep the Party clean and strong, Mr. Nguyen Kim Huy, Nui Thanh district, Quang Nam province said: "People want the Party to be strong and truly clean, not just talk. According to senior Party leaders, there is a large number of cadres who have embezzled money. It can be said that people are in a state of both trust and love for the Party and pain when there are Party members who are not exemplary. People are looking forward to restoring discipline in the Party."
The people are not only proud of the Party but also have great faith in the Party. Therefore, in order to continuously consolidate and strengthen the people's faith, after the Central Executive Committee issued the Resolution on strengthening Party building and rectification; preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party, the Party must continue to build and rectify in all aspects.
Mr. Pham Manh Hung (Nghia Do ward, Cau Giay district, Hanoi) said: The Party has made very frank comments when stating that: the degradation of political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle has both objective and subjective causes, in which subjective causes are the main ones, originating from the lack of self-cultivation and training of cadres and party members themselves; unstable ideological stance; falling into individualism, forgetting responsibilities and duties to the Party and the people.
"I think one of the reasons why the Party building work is not done well is that the moral qualities of Party members are not strengthened and not trained. This time, the Central Committee continues to raise the issue of Party building which is extremely important. The time has come when if this work is not done well, it will affect the survival of the country and the Party's leadership of the country. I think this is a very important and urgent issue," said Mr. Pham Manh Hung.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Quoc Bao |
Agreeing that it is necessary to carry out many specific and practical tasks synchronously to effectively implement the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee, Session XII, Associate Professor - Doctor Nguyen Quoc Bao, Senior Lecturer of the Academy of Journalism and Communication in Hanoi, said: Political and ideological education, self-criticism and criticism are the central and continuous tasks and the most important solutions. Citing Uncle Ho's teaching that the ruling Party but Party members must not deviate from their goals and ideals, Associate Professor - Doctor Nguyen Quoc Bao said that in the arduous revolutionary war of national liberation, Party members always showed their role. Because in them, the ideals are very clear, very pure, sacrificing everything for the cause of national independence and freedom. That is why the Party has led the revolutionary cause to success.
Concerned about party members holding positions of power, if their ideals fade away and they stray from their ideal goals, the consequences will be unpredictable, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Quoc Bao said: “The first solution to the problem of ideals and political enlightenment is important, especially in the current context of integration. The negative aspects of the market economy are individualism, selfish lifestyle, profiteering, chasing after money, craving for fame, title, and power. That is what causes party members to degenerate if they do not have a stance, courage, and cultivate their political ideals.”
President Ho Chi Minh emphasized: “The Party has no other interests than the interests of the people” and “The Party must lead by example”. Expectations for innovation and the birth of the Resolution are timely. However, each Party organization, each cadre and Party member, first of all senior cadres, key cadres, heads of all levels and sectors must deeply and fully understand their responsibilities to the people and the Party in order to voluntarily carry them out. That is also what the people expect to restore discipline in the Party./.
