(Baonghean.vn) - 70 years ago, just a few months after gaining independence, on January 6, 1946, the first General Election following the principles of democracy, directness and secret ballot took place successfully.
Millions of people who had just escaped from the slavery of colonialism enthusiastically went to vote, electing the first National Assembly. This event went down in the history of the country, a great leap forward, marking the birth of the National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
