To make our Party truly ethical and civilized
The continuous discipline, dismissal and prosecution of high-ranking officials in recent times shows the high determination of our Party in cleaning up the leadership team from the Central to the local level. The Party uses struggle and discipline to promptly warn officials and Party members to know how to keep themselves on the "right path", so that our Party can truly be a Party of "morality and civilization" as President Ho Chi Minh always wished.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu TrongOn behalf of the Politburo, the Politburo has just signed and issued Regulation No. 144-QDTW on revolutionary ethical standards of cadres and party members in the new situation, with very specific criteria to build a team of cadres and party members with patriotism, respect for the People, loyalty to the Party and the Fatherland; with mettle, spirit of innovation, creativity, and integration; always industrious, thrifty, honest, upright, impartial; honest, straightforward, objective, fair, actively fighting self-criticism and criticism; respecting honor, not opportunistic, knowing how to preserve the dignity of cadres and party members.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always paid attention to the issue of
The subject of educating and training the ethics of the Party cadres and members. Thanks to the persistence of that principle, for more than 9 decades of leading the Vietnamese revolutionary cause, our Party has always deserved the trust of the people, lived in the hearts of the people, and accompanied the nation.
However, in the context of recent years, a significant number of cadres and party members, especially high-ranking leaders, have degraded their ethics and lifestyle, transformed themselves, deviated from their ideal goals, and have been defeated by money, leading to violations of Party discipline, corruption, and have been disciplined in various forms, expelled from the Party, and prosecuted before the law... showing that, more than ever, it is necessary to require a higher spirit of self-awareness in training and cultivating revolutionary ethics among cadres and party members; and to promote the spirit of honor and responsibility above all in the process of performing the tasks assigned by the Party and the State.
Looking back a lotcorruption case, especially large negative incidents that have occurred in recent years such as the cases that occurred at Viet A Company; FLC Group, Rescue Flight, Tan Hoang Minh Company, Van Thinh Phat, SCB Bank; cases in the field of vehicle inspection; AIC Company. And most recently, the cases at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam Electricity Group; the cases at Phuc Son Group, Hung Thinh Group... we all see the presence of some leaders from provinces, cities to central ministries and branches.
Of course, those corrupt secretaries, provincial chairmen; ministers, deputy ministers, department heads... had to receive discipline and suffer appropriate punishment by law. But through that, it also shows that the front of preventing and combating negative corruption is always the most direct and effective attack, but also full of difficulties, to be able to eliminate from the country's leadership ranks those degenerate elements, making our Party increasingly clean and strong.
With the newly issued Regulation 144, the Politburo requires cadres and party members to uphold self-respect, cherish honor, not take political opportunism, have ambitions for power, preserve the dignity of cadres and party members, and not be influenced or tempted by negativity. Do not let family, relatives and others take advantage of their positions and work positions for personal gain; protect the prestige and honor of themselves and the Party organization; Resign when they no longer have the ability and prestige.
From Regulation 41-QDTW “on dismissal and resignation of cadres” to Regulation 144-QDTW, the Politburo has taken a step forward to “pave the way” for a culture of resignation in the Party and the political system. Cadres and party members must be the pioneers in implementing that regulation. Because, once they are involved in corruption, have ideological deviations, have moral degradation, and are no longer able to maintain dignity in the eyes of the people, if they continue to cling to power and position, those cadres will only be a stumbling block, hindering the country’s development.
We have just experienced unexpected turmoil when some key leadership positions of the country had to be changed mid-term because some cadres violated Party discipline. Therefore, promoting the building of revolutionary ethical standards for cadres and Party members in the current situation is extremely important.
Let's make "up and down, in and out" a normal, cultured behavior of leaders, not just stop at individual phenomena that the organization has to encourage "please quit"!
Resigning at the right time has always been a way to demonstrate the courage and responsibility of an official. For cadres and party members, especially leaders, it is necessary to determine that "going up" or "down" in position is for the people and the Party. That is also a way to help our Party become increasingly cleaner, more ethical and civilized.
