Prepare Party committee personnel to avoid the phenomenon of "buying positions and power"

Party congresses at all levels for the 2020-2025 term leading up to the 13th National Party Congress will be held in 2020. This is a broad political activity for the entire Party, people and army. At this time, many important tasks are being carried out by Party committees at all levels.

In particular, the Congress not only focuses on personnel work but also must determine the key tasks of the locality, must give a long-term vision or in other words must position the vision of the locality, agency, and unit.

Implementing Directive 35 of the Politburo on Party Congresses at all levels towards the 13th Congress, Dong Thap province is disseminating and deploying the Directive to each Party cell. In particular, the province proactively guides a number of issues on personnel work at Party Congresses at all levels. Actively and proactively prepare Party Committee personnel to ensure the success of Party Congresses at all levels. Prepare Party Committee personnel based on planning, standards, conditions, requirements, political tasks and the ability to meet the work requirements of cadres.

Secretary of Dong Thap Provincial Party Committee Le Minh Hoan said that the Congress does not only discuss personnel, who will sit in this or that chair, but mainly needs to determine the key tasks of the locality, the long-term vision of where the locality is standing and what the locality, industry and field will be like in 5 years, 10 years? This spirit is being thoroughly implemented by Dong Thap province to all subordinate levels.

According to Mr. Le Minh Hoan, in addition to preparing for the Congress, it is also necessary to resolve pressing issues in the locality and in the industry. Because of the demands and concerns of the people regarding the prevention and fight against corruption, the environment, land complaints, and prominent social issues that occur daily and monthly. All the concerns of the people are not only listed in the reports and documents of the Congress but must be resolved promptly.

At the 16th meeting of the Central Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong once again emphasized: “Absolutely do not let those who show signs of embezzlement, corruption, or ideological, political, and moral degradation into the Party Committee in the near future. Wherever this happens, there will be discipline.”

Therefore, the preparation of Party committee personnel must be based on planning, standards, conditions, requirements, political tasks and the ability of cadres to respond. At the same time, it is important to focus on discovering and introducing new factors with virtue, talent, prestige and prospects.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Trong Phuc - former Director of the Institute of Party History, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, said that it is necessary to strengthen control over personnel work and personnel preparation at the Party Committee level; avoid violations of the principle of democratic centralism, seeking to promote one person and demote another, causing suspicion and loss of internal solidarity.

“Preparing for the 13th Congress and Congresses at all levels, we must select Party committees to minimize the phenomenon of “buying positions and power”. Remember the 11th term, the 6th Central Conference, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said: “Do not allow corrupt elements, those who buy positions and political opportunists to enter the 12th Central Committee. These three things are all dangerous, but I am more worried about political opportunities. Because political opportunities will corrupt the entire political regime” - Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Trong Phuc said.

Previously, in the article on preparing and organizing well the Party Congresses at all levels towards the 13th National Congress of the Party, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong mentioned many important contents, requiring Party committees and organizations at all levels to uphold their responsibilities and focus on leading the implementation of tasks well.

In addition to worrying about personnel work, drafting documents is an important issue. Because if the documents are well prepared, there must be someone to organize and implement them well. Someone who organizes and implements them well will be able to draw out what is good and what is not during the implementation process to initiate and propose policies for the next Congress.

Mr. Le Thanh Van - Member of the National Assembly's Finance and Budget Committee said that if there is no team of qualified, dedicated and capable officials to organize and implement the Resolution, no matter how well prepared the Resolution is, it will still remain on paper. Everywhere, from the commune level to the Central level, the key and most important issue is to select a team of qualified officials.

Over the past time, the Central Executive Committee has made preparations, and the standards for each class of cadres have become clearer. However, the regulations themselves do not select cadres, but are they procedural processes or tools. What is important is how people use them? If people have a bright and transparent mind, they can choose worthy people. If their minds are dark and their minds are clouded, they can still bend the regulations to put unqualified people into the system.

The political report of the Congress is the crystallization of the Party's wisdom, enthusiasm, responsibility, creativity, vision, and aspiration and the development orientation of the locality, agency, and unit. The political report is not just a report of achievements. The Central Committee has determined that the report must present a long-term vision, or in other words, must position the vision with a deep analysis of reality, potential, and capabilities.

Journalist Nhi Le - Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Communist Magazine affirmed,The most fundamental issues in political planning and national development with a vision to 2045 must be prepared right now. Along with summarizing 35 years of renovation and 30 years of implementing the Platform for building Socialism in the transition period to Socialism in our country, it is necessary to continue developing the political line and continuing the comprehensive and synchronous renovation process that the 12th Party Congress has just decided. That is a strategic direction; there cannot be a correct line if we do not summarize the correct practices.

In less than a year, the grassroots Party Congress will take place, followed by the upper-level Party Congress, leading to the 13th National Party Congress in 2021. At this time, many important tasks are being carried out by Party committees at all levels. These are difficult issues in both theory and practice, challenging both thinking and action. Therefore, for the Congress to be successful, it requires great efforts from Party committees to prepare the work well, especially in terms of documents and personnel at this time./.
