To fight 'self-evolution', we must keep the Party clean.

Understanding the root cause of "self-evolution", keeping the Party clean is the most profound measure to combat self-evolution.

Over the past 87 years, our Party has established, consolidated and increasingly enhanced its leadership role, strength and prestige through its own mettle, determination, intelligence and pioneering theories; through correct policies that bring tangible benefits to the people and the country; through the exemplary, selfless sacrifices and tireless efforts of its cadres and Party members.

In the current period, the Party continues to innovate, care for Party building, especially fighting against degradation in political ideology, morality, lifestyle, "self-evolution", "self-transformation". This is a vital requirement to maintain the people's trust in the Party.

Professor - People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh.

Professor, People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh (Hanoi National University) said: The Party is an organization established by steadfast revolutionaries and has a glorious history in the struggle to protect the country and build socialism. However, the domestic and international situation has many complicated developments, intertwined with opportunities and challenges, requiring the Party to innovate and develop better and better, worthy of the people's trust in the Party.

According to Professor and People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh, the Party must be strong in terms of quality, staff, organization and, importantly, must rely on the strength of the masses. This is even more meaningful in the context that the entire Party and people are stepping up the implementation of the 4th Central Resolution (12th tenure) on strengthening Party building and rectification.

Professor and People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh analyzed: "The 4th Central Resolution is a synthesis of basic theoretical issues on Party building, but to apply it to today's situation, the current period, we will encounter many difficulties: difficulties of peacetime, difficulties of the open door period, difficulties of expanding the scope domestically as well as internationally. With the experience and mettle of the Party, with the solidarity of the entire Party, the consensus from the Party to the Central Committee and most importantly, the connection between the Party and the masses, we will overcome difficulties, maintain the Party's trust in the hearts of the masses".

The 12th Party Congress set out requirements and tasks for Party building and rectification with 10 basic and synchronous solutions, emphasizing the need to continue implementing Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (11th tenure), focusing on fighting, preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, morality, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party.

Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (12th tenure) also frankly pointed out that the degradation of political ideology, morality, and lifestyle of a significant number of cadres and party members has not been pushed back, and in some cases, it has become more sophisticated and complicated; corruption, waste, and negativity are still serious, concentrated among party members holding positions in the state apparatus.

Mr. Pham Xuan Hang (Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front) said that this reality has eroded people's trust and reduced the Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength.

“This time, the Central Committee is determined to do it more deeply, more thoroughly, and more effectively, but it is important to have more specific, practical, and stricter solutions to increase the trust of Party members. If we continue to be cautious and keep things peaceful, the Resolution issued this time will not bring results. We must be resolute, even more resolute,” Mr. Pham Xuan Hang suggested.

This 4th Central Resolution has systematically pointed out the manifestations of degradation in political ideology, morality, lifestyle, "self-evolution", "self-transformation". The most dangerous of these are the fading of revolutionary ideals, lack of steadfastness on the socialist path, vagueness, wavering, lack of faith; speaking and acting contrary to the Party's viewpoints and policies; even declining fighting spirit, not defending what is right, not fighting what is wrong, following wrong and distorted perceptions and viewpoints; no longer being conscious of wholeheartedly serving the country and the people, not fulfilling assigned duties and responsibilities; not properly implementing the principles of organizing Party activities.

Dr. Nguyen Viet Chuc, former Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children, said: If Party members do not practice and their moral and lifestyle deteriorate, it will lead to "self-evolution" and "self-transformation". Therefore, cleaning up the Party and keeping it clean and strong is the most profound measure to combat "self-evolution".

“The highest leader must lead by example. The degradation of morality and lifestyle is self-evolution, not evolution through words but evolution through actions when party members no longer have the role of leaders, no longer exemplary leaders in life. Understanding the root cause of self-evolution, then becoming clean and strong is the most profound measure to fight self-evolution from the root,” Dr. Nguyen Viet Chuc analyzed.

Building and rectifying the Party is a difficult and complicated task, a struggle with oneself to overcome one's own limitations, weaknesses and shortcomings. This struggle requires the highest political determination of the entire Party and the entire people. The root of maintaining the purity of the Party is the sense of responsibility and self-respect of each Party member; the example of leaders and managers... Only then can the Party continue to be steadfast in its historical mission of leading the people to successfully build and firmly protect the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
