In Thai Hoa town, the Town Party Executive Committee organized first, from there spreading to the grassroots. After the "self-examination, self-correction" of the Executive Committee, 20 grassroots party organizations have been deployed, such as the Party Committee of the town government agency; the Party Committees of Quang Phong, Hoa Hieu, Tay Hieu, Nghia Tien communes and wards; the Party Committee of the Vocational College; the Party Cell of the Land Registration Office...
The content of "self-examination and self-correction" of Party organizations in Thai Hoa town is based on the leadership role in implementing political tasks and Party building work and the political system at each Party Committee level.
According to comrade Tran Khanh Son - Standing Deputy Secretary of Thai Hoa City Party Committee, "self-reflection" is important, but more important is "self-correction", therefore, the requirement of Thai Hoa City Party Committee in the process of "self-reflection" is to clarify the responsibility of the collective and each party member, including the responsibility of the leader to have a basis for correction. On the other hand, after "self-reflection", each Party Committee and individual must develop a serious and self-conscious "self-correction" plan; only then will this meeting not be a formality.

Avoid formality
On the basis of Plan No. 77 of the Provincial Party Committee on implementing the Conclusion of the 4th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee on promoting Party building and rectification and the political system; resolutely preventing, repelling, and strictly handling cadres and Party members who have degraded in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation"; the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department issued Plan No. 31 on implementing the Conclusions and Regulations of the 4th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee in the fields of theory, political ideology; organizing political activities on Party building and rectification and the political system with the theme of "self-examination and self-correction".
“Self-reflection and self-correction” is a long-standing issue that has been implemented by party organizations, agencies and units in the political system through evaluating the implementation of each specific political task by week, month, quarter and year; the leadership role of the Party Committee, the exemplary role of cadres and Party members, especially the leaders. However, this time, the requirement is to create a broad political movement, meaning that all levels need to implement it synchronously, comprehensively and widely from within the Party Committees.
Once it is determined that this is a broad political activity, meaning that it is organized from the central level to the grassroots level, therefore, from the central level to the provincial level, there must be a plan and specific instructions on how to "examine" and "correct"? Who "examines", who "corrects" and the mechanism to monitor the "self-examination, self-correction", creating a common consensus for systematic implementation.
Comrade Nguyen Minh Hanh - Head of the Propaganda Department of Do Luong District Party Committee said that when determining this as a broad political activity, meaning that it is organized from the Central to the grassroots level, therefore, from the Central to the province, there must be a plan and specific instructions on how to "examine" and "correct"? Who "examines", who "corrects" and the mechanism to monitor "self-examination, self-correction", creating a common unity for methodical implementation.
In fact, through approaching some units that are organizing and the plans that some units have issued, each unit has a different method and way of doing things. Some units organize from the grassroots level down; some units organize from the party cell up and some units determine to only organize "self-examination and self-correction" at the party cell level.
Although each cadre and party member must be under the leadership and supervision of the party cell; however, if cadres and civil servants at the commune level "self-examine" in the party cell of the block, hamlet, village, or hamlet; or district-level leaders only "self-examine" in the party cell of the agency, the persuasiveness will not be high. These are issues that need to be studied to turn "self-examination and self-correction" into a broad political activity; avoiding formality and substance./.
