'Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh deceived both the Party and the government and must be expelled from the Party'

Officials, Party members and people of the Mekong Delta provinces support the proposal to expel Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh from the Party.

After the Central Inspection Committee concluded and proposed that the Secretariat discipline Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh by expelling him from the Party, Party members and people in the Mekong Delta region welcomed, supported and affirmed that the expulsion of Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh from the Party demonstrated the Party's strictness in dealing with violations by Party members and cadres, thereby promoting the fighting spirit within the Party and setting an example for other Party members and cadres.

Mr. Huynh Van Ngan, in An Thoi, Binh Thuy District, Can Tho City said: "We often read newspapers, listen to the radio and recently have heard many public opinions about the violations of Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh. We hope that the Party, the National Assembly, and the Government will clarify the case of Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh to help public opinion and people see clearly the wisdom of the Party and the State, and strengthen people's trust in the Party and the State."

Mr. Pham Thanh Can in Tan Tien commune, Vi Thanh city, Hau Giang province said: Our Party is currently determined to fight against negativity to clean up the internal cadres, for the country to develop. Regarding the case of Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh, following the direction of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, the Central Organizing Committee, the Central Inspection Committee and the relevant agencies quickly took action to clarify his violations.

“We must definitely expel Trinh Xuan Thanh from the Party because transferring corrupt officials to other places is still corrupt. I think we must deal with it thoroughly to create trust among the people,” said Mr. Pham Thanh Can.

Mr. Phan Quoc Nam, a party member in Tra Vinh city, Tra Vinh province, said that expelling Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh from the Party was reasonable, because it was clear that Mr. Thanh had deceived both the Party and the Government, causing serious loss of state assets.

“In my opinion, Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh, since his time as a leader in the oil and gas industry, has committed violations that have caused losses of thousands of billions, but why was he proposed to be recognized as a Labor Hero, promoted to a position, and promoted to the Ministry… is he not worthy of being a Party member? That is to deceive the Party, deceive the government, bribe his way to a position that is not within his capacity, against the law and Party regulations. Therefore, if he is expelled from the Party, in my opinion, it is appropriate,” Mr. Pham Quoc Nam said frankly.

As reported, from September 6 to 8, in Hanoi, the Central Inspection Committee held its 6th session. At this session, the Central Inspection Committee proposed that the Secretariat take disciplinary action by expelling Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh from the Party.
