These individuals exhibit a complete decline in their cognitive abilities!

(Baonghean) - It's nothing short of a true story, sir!

- Are you referring to the case of a writer in Cao Bang City who applied for permission to build a chicken coop measuring only 2 square meters, and the ward authorities and various departments held meetings for months before finally rejecting the application?

- What could be more bizarre and strange than that? The more I think about it, the funnier, the more painful, and the sadder I feel, sir!

Could you explain that in a little more detail?

- It's funny that since the day I was born, I've never seen anyone build a chicken coop as small as the palm of their hand on their legally owned land and need permission. That kind of construction doesn't affect the overall planning or the ecological environment of the surrounding residents, and there's no regulation requiring permission... yet... people are using the government's authority to do something so absurd!

- But why does it hurt?

- It hurts that those whom the people trusted and elected with their votes are now turning against them, harassing and extorting them. And it's sad because…

- Why?

- Those who deliberately cause trouble are both officials and party members, and they're also from the same neighborhood. Why do they keep harassing each other like that? If there's no camaraderie, at least there should be neighborly affection!

- Or perhaps that writer had some past conflict with someone?

In any case, you shouldn't mix public and private matters!

- He's right. After the prosecution of people for building duck sheds in the South, we thought that was unprecedented, but now we have this issue of rejecting applications to build chicken coops. To this day, I'm still bewildered and can't understand what people are thinking to act like that.

Not only does it damage the government's reputation, but it also distorts the image of officials in the eyes of the people, leading to a loss of goodwill. It makes people see officials as if they were the tyrannical oppressors of the past. I remember…

- What do you remember?

- I remember the day of the national conference on mass mobilization work, the General Secretary said that a segment of cadres and Party members, especially those in positions of power, are showing signs of declining moral character, living far from the people, and being irresponsible towards the people.

Many leaders at all levels and in all sectors maintain a bureaucratic, patriarchal, and autocratic style, even suppressing and oppressing the masses. Looking at this, it's clear that this is absolutely true. These types of officials are not just morally corrupt in certain aspects, but completely degraded, from their political ideology to their character and ethics.

He's right, it's a full-blown recession!
