Realize the reality

The drastic implementation of the contents of Directive 28 - CT/TW, especially the work of reviewing and screening party members, has contributed very positively to raising the awareness of Party committees at all levels and party members aboutparty building workincreasingly stronger. Through the work of screening and removing party members' names, it also has a great impact on improving the quality of party membership admission, contributing to building a clean and strong party, and consolidating people's trust in the party.

Screening and reviewing party members helps party committees at all levels grasp the current situation of party member management in party organizations; the performance of duties and responsibilities of party members and party committees at all levels in evaluating, classifying, and assigning tasks to party members. From there, promptly grasp the practical situation, make recommendations and reflect to competent authorities to resolve difficulties and problems at the grassroots level.

According to comrade Tran Thi Thuy Nga - Head of the Organization Committee of Quy Hop District Party Committee, through reviewing and screening party members in the area, some issues of concern have emerged, such as: Many party members who quit their jobs and moved back to their place of residence did not transfer party activities; Party members who transferred party activities had a notification form on the database but did not submit their documents to the competent party organization; party members who stopped participating in party activities for 3 months in a year without a valid reason; party members with reduced will to strive, not performing party member duties, even though they had been educated by the party cell, but after 12 months of striving, they did not make any progress.

According to comrade Nguyen Truong Thi - Head of the Organizing Committee of Hung Nguyen District Party Committee, the review process shows that the party members whose names were removed had basic reasons such as: Going to work abroad, working far away, quitting activities and not paying party fees. The process of reviewing party members is being maintained by party cells, contributing to improving the quality of activities, continuing to play a political core role at the grassroots level. The implementation of Directive 28 at the current stage is even more important when grassroots party organizations are issuing and implementing resolutions on improving the quality of party members and enhancing the fighting strength of party organizations in the new term (2020-2025).

From the above-mentioned practical perspective, it is required that Party committees at all levels continue to screen and remove the names of Party members who violate Party regulations; at the same time, focus on implementing the processes and procedures for admitting Party members and officially recognizing Party members in the direction of improving quality. That work starts from discovering and nurturing elite masses to performing Party member work well.
