We, voters and veterans, do not agree with the way the priests behave. We request the government to resolutely and strictly handle these subjects.

Mr. Thiet hopes that the government will pay attention to farmers' lives with more specific policies in production, and at the same time have a support mechanism so that farmers can participate in health insurance and have access to health services.

Concerned about the sharp fall in agricultural product prices, especially livestock products, Mr. Le Thanh Tinh, hamlet 4, Dien Thang commune, proposed: Farmers are stuck in a vicious cycle of good harvests and low prices, the government, all levels, and sectors have launched a "rescue" campaign. Voters suggested that the government should orient the market, solve output, and provide agricultural products for sustainable agricultural development.

Mr. Thang reflected that the labor force in rural areas is redundant and must go to the southern provinces to find jobs. Voters hope that the province and district will promote investment attraction in projects and industrial zones to help solve the problem of employment for rural laborers.

Concerned with the National Assembly delegate, voter Vo Dinh Luan, Dien Binh commune, said: people's income and life are still difficult, agricultural products are too cheap, many households are losing money.

Voter Luan also expressed concern about the low quality of general education, the widespread disease of achievement, widespread open university education, poor quality training, and unemployed graduates. The State needs to have orientation, streamline education, improve training quality, and avoid the current situation of "too many teachers, not enough workers" - Mr. Luan suggested.

Faced with the situation of falling prices of agricultural products, especially livestock products. The district focused on discussing solutions to remove difficulties for agricultural development, including livestock development.

Especially, pay attention to improving the competitiveness of agricultural products, especially farmers need to produce cleanly and have addresses,” Mr. Quang affirmed.
