PROPOSAL 3 SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA

Speaking at the discussion on the afternoon of October 28, Ms. Vo Thi Minh Sinh - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province, National Assembly delegate of Nghe An Delegation discussed some more contents for the Government to consider, weigh and have more drastic solutions in the coming time.

First of all, regarding information and propaganda work, the delegate of Nghe An Delegation highly appreciated the implementation of the Project "Organizing policy communication with great impact on society in the process of building legal documents for the period 2022-2027" of the Government.

This is of great importance, aiming to meet the requirements of building and perfecting a complete, timely, synchronous, unified, transparent and feasible legal system. Taking the legitimate and legal rights and interests of the people as the focus in the process of building and perfecting the Socialist Republic of Vietnam's rule of law state.

And ensure the first step in building, disseminating and implementing legal policies, clarifying the legal nature, social nature, satisfying the necessary and sufficient conditions for "life to enter the law and law to enter life", in other words, "the Party's will matches the people's will".

Thereby contributing to overcoming the question that we have often asked for a long time, which is "Is the law implemented in life or not?" or "Is the Party's will in line with the people's will?" without much attention being paid to solutions to answer the question "Is life implemented in law or not?" or "Are the people's wishes and aspirations implemented in the Party's policies and the State's laws or not?".

Also according to delegate Vo Thi Minh Sinh: Recently, this Project has been actively and positively implemented by the Government, fighting, preventing and immediately refuting fake, bad and toxic information and promptly propagating and orienting public opinion, spreading positive energy, arousing the spirit of solidarity, mutual love and high consensus in society.

We can mention the Fanpage "Government Information" with the number of followers and interactions of the people increasing day by day and has always accompanied the breath and voice of the people and businesses anytime, anywhere in life.

To effectively communicate policies, the delegate from Nghe An proposed three solutions to the Government: Regulations on the establishment, management and operation of official Fanpages of agencies and organizations in the political system on social networking platforms.

Along with that, re-evaluate the results of collecting people's opinions on the electronic information pages of the Government and ministries and branches in the past time. On the other hand, in addition to the records of comments and social criticism of the Fatherland Front and its member organizations, add a Report on the results of collecting people's opinions publicly on the electronic information portal/fanpage..., explain the reception of people's opinions in the documents submitted for promulgation of legal documents.

NEED STRATEGIC, FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTIONS TO LIVE WITH CLIMATE CHANGE

Regarding natural disaster prevention, search and rescue, delegate Vo Thi Minh Sinh strongly agreed with the opinions of the five delegates who spoke yesterday from Quang Tri, Soc Trang, Long An, Phu Yen and Bac Can, as well as the task groups and solutions of the Government.

Accordingly, delegates highly supported the viewpoint of "prioritizing resources to support and resolve the consequences of natural disasters and floods, especially poor households and households in difficult circumstances; using all solutions to take care of the poor to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2023".

Expressing concern about the forecast of “Risks from climate change and extreme weather” which this morning, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha emphasized as “harsh, complicated and vital”, the delegate of Nghe An Delegation emotionally said: “I believe, not only me, but all of us are worried every time the rainy and stormy season comes, especially the people in our localities. It is no longer a feeling of “worry” but “always afraid”. Perhaps the phrase “living with floods” originated from the Central provinces - the “gut” of the S-shaped strip of land, every time it “cramps”, the heart of the whole country “bleeds”.

Citing evidence, Ky Son district, Nghe An province from 2011 to now, in just 11 years, there have been 5 flash floods, of which 3 were terrifying flash floods. Those were 2011, 2018 and the early morning of October 2nd, which was "The most terrifying flood in history"; "Flood after flood" and who knows when we will "settle down" if there are no resettlement areas for the people?!.", delegate Vo Thi Minh Sinh conveyed the most earnest wish of people in disaster areas in Nghe An or other areas frequently affected by natural disasters and floods in the country to the National Assembly forum, which is "settling down and having a career".

On that basis, the delegate of Nghe An Delegation recommended that the Government should immediately have strategic and fundamental solutions for localities that are frequently affected by storms, floods, and saltwater intrusion so that people can not only "live with floods" and "live with saltwater intrusion" but also adapt to "live with climate change" sustainably.

Along with that, it is necessary to seriously and thoroughly evaluate the quality of information work, natural disaster forecasting and the organization and implementation of the Law on Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, the Law on Dikes in conjunction with completing the construction of the Law on Civil Defense; promptly remove obstacles in the establishment, management and use of the Natural Disaster Prevention and Control Fund according to Decree 78 dated August 1, 2021 of the Government.

On the other hand, according to the delegate, it is necessary to have statistics on the total damage caused by natural disasters as a percentage of GDP each year, to have a more convincing basis when making and allocating the estimate of increased State budget reserve expenditure to implement natural disaster prevention, and at the same time have specific criteria to prioritize the allocation of this content to localities that are often heavily affected by climate change. On the other hand, there needs to be close and smooth coordination in allocating resources.
