Many changes in party cell activities

Assessing the results of 2 years of implementing Directive 13-CT-TU, comrades in the Provincial Party Standing Committee all affirmed that there have been many changes in Party cell activities of all types.

Notably, the Party cell's activities have been maintained in a disciplined manner, with many localities, units, and agencies holding activities on the 3rd of every month; Party members' awareness of compliance and participation in activities has been higher and more complete.

The content is guided by Party committees at all levels to be prepared systematically for Party cells and the quality of Party cell activities is also improved; attention is paid to selecting key content for thematic activities.

However, some members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee also raised many concerns about the quality of Party cell activities. According to Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department Nguyen Thi Thu Huong, one of the criteria for assessing the quality of Party cell activities is the leadership in implementing political tasks; however, in reality, in many rural Party cells today, the Party cell secretaries, even the Party cell committee members, are retired cadres who are not directly involved in production, which more or less affects the quality of Party cell activities.

On the other hand, the limited capacity of some secretaries to manage activities leads to the failure of Party cell meetings to arouse the spirit of speaking up and building among Party members, and unintentionally, Party cell meetings drag on without discussing or resolving the core issues of the unit, leading to formal Party cell activities.

Some members of the Standing Committee are interested in strictly implementing the regime of assigning Party committees to attend grassroots Party cell meetings monthly, quarterly, and every 6 months at each level, and Party members who are cadres, civil servants, and public employees in state agencies to attend Party cell meetings at their place of residence according to Regulation 76; this is one of the solutions to improve the quality of Party cells.

Concerned about the quality of Party cell activities, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Xuan Son is concerned about the combativeness, leadership, and education in current Party cell activities and believes that it is necessary to survey and evaluate objectively, look at the true nature of the situation to discuss solutions to improve the quality of Party cell activities.

Emphasizing that the soul and vitality of the Party cell depend greatly on the role of the Party cell secretary, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee said that, along with perfecting the Party cell secretary through merging blocks, hamlets, villages and the Party cell congress for the 2020-2022 term, it is necessary to transfer vitality, enthusiasm, responsibility and concern to this team through training, providing information, suggesting Party cell activities and maintaining the regime of superiors participating in Party cell activities...

Strictly monitor the Party cell's activities according to Regulation 76.

Concluding this content, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh emphasized that the assessment of the quality of Party cell activities must be based on three issues: the quality of leadership in implementing political tasks; ideological work; criticism and self-criticism.

To make a real assessment, each superior Party Committee must look at the movement in that locality, agency, or unit and how the problems that occurred were handled; were violations proactively detected by the Party cell or only discovered when they were discovered; were there Party members who spoke incorrectly about the Party and State's guidelines, policies, and guidelines and made baseless and irresponsible comments on social networks?...

Affirming that improving the quality of Party cell activities is very important, however, this is not an easy task, the Provincial Party Secretary assigned the responsibility to 5 members of the Standing Committee to proactively study the practical quality of Party cell activities in each type, on that basis, evaluate, summarize, and advise the Provincial Party Standing Committee to have detailed and specific directions and instructions on requirements, making a "handbook" for Party cells in activities, from the process, organization and management methods to the content of activities and requiring Party members to contribute to the development at Party cell activities...

For grassroots Party committees, it is necessary to implement the regime of assigning Party committees to monitor, train, orient, and guide Party cells, ensuring the improvement of the quality of activities and combativeness. On the other hand, Party committees at all levels need to supervise to ensure that Party members in state agencies and administrative units strictly implement the Party cell activity regime according to Regulation 76.
