(Baonghean) - In the process of leading and directing the implementation of local political tasks, the Party committees and political system in Thanh Chuong always attach importance to ideological work to create unity and high consensus from thinking to action. However, reality still poses difficult problems.

Vivid practice

The success of Thanh Luong Commune Party Committee since the Party Congress for the term 2015 - 2020 up to now is leading and directing the completion of 19 new rural criteria and being recognized as meeting the standards this December. This is considered a spectacular breakthrough, a new bright spot of Thanh Luong in the general picture of Thanh Chuong district.

That is because Thanh Luong's land conditions for production are limited and it is located in a low-lying area, "drought before sun, flooded before rain". The difficulty is also due to "narrow land, crowded population", households and residential areas living closely together; narrow internal traffic routes. Therefore, although the new rural construction was started in 2011, by the end of 2015, the locality still had 5 difficult criteria to achieve, including transportation, cultural facilities, environment...

Secretary of the Party Committee of the commune, Le Trong Chuong, shared: Although it is predicted that there will be difficulties, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee is unanimous in its ideology that it is necessary to be determined to register for the new rural destination in 2016. From that consensus, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee organizes dissemination, propaganda, and clarification within the Party Committee Executive Committee and the entire Party Committee; mobilizing the entire political system to participate.

During the leadership and direction process, there were some areas and some contents that did not create consensus among the people. The commune cadres personally went to the grassroots to hold meetings, discuss, and directly met each person to explain and "clear" their thoughts. Secretary Chuong cited the expansion of the commune's sports stadium as having some graves, the cadres directly met each household to do ideological work and persuade them to move.

Or to solve the problem of environmental pollution caused by domestic wastewater and livestock wastewater from households spilling onto the streets, the commune leaders organized a meeting to seek brick support from Rao Gang Brick and Tile Enterprise to stimulate demand and solve the ideological problem of reducing contributions to people to build a drainage system...

For Thanh Tien, a commune with quite comprehensive development in Thanh Chuong district, there are also experiences and ways to build trust among cadres, party members and people. Sharing by comrade Nguyen Van Loan - Secretary of the Party Committee of the commune, first of all, the team of cadres, party members, especially the head of the Party Committee must always be exemplary, work selflessly and transparently; always put the interests of the collective, the interests of the people above all, absolutely not for personal gain or for the benefit of individuals, families, or clans.

The motto of organizations in the system and cadres must truly understand the people, respect the people, listen to the people's needs to respond. Therefore, in the process of leadership and direction, the locality always pays attention to and puts first the care of education, health care and ensuring other people's livelihood issues. In Thanh Lien, any family that has a deceased member, in addition to building a tradition of helping and supporting each other materially in the community to take care of the funeral, the locality also allocates the budget to support equally, regardless of whether the family is rich or poor.

Requirement "go first - come back later"

It can be said that ideological work has recently been of interest to Thanh Chuong District Party Committee. “Ideological work here is to thoroughly grasp, explain, and deepen issues to cadres, party members, and people; at the same time, to enhance the fighting spirit in party activities, to fight against ideologies that go against the collective interests, of the community and society, and against the policies and resolutions of the Party, in order to create unity and consensus”, Comrade Phan Dinh Ha - Head of the District Party Committee's Propaganda Department, emphasized.

From that awareness, since the Party Congresses at all levels until now, Thanh Chuong District Party Committee has attached great importance to propaganda work and orienting public opinion.

First of all, the work of disseminating and popularizing the Party's resolutions and directives is innovated by instead of assigning it to the grassroots Party Committee Secretaries, the Standing Committee, Head and Deputy Head of the District Party Committee's Propaganda Department, and Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee in charge of culture and society are now directly disseminating. The content and outline of the dissemination are elaborately developed and approved by the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee; at the same time, each group of subjects is divided for dissemination, along with the selection of core contents, both theoretical and practical, the tasks that need to be done at each level, each agency and unit in the most specific way, avoiding generalities and not clearly defining what the grassroots need to do to effectively bring the Party's resolutions and directives into life.

At the same time, the District Party Committee, directly the District Party Committee's Propaganda Department, has been concerned with innovating the propaganda content on the district's internal newsletter in a focused, specific, and practical direction.

In addition to the main content on the key tasks of the Party Committee in each month, including Party work and leadership in implementing political tasks according to time and season; good people, good deeds; good experiences, there is also a section on orienting public opinion related to current issues in the world, in the country, in the province, which through grasping public opinion among the people still have many concerns and conflicting thoughts.

In particular, there is a fixed section on Uncle Ho's thoughts and advice according to each topic and theme (depending on whether that month has any national or local commemorations or activities). It also guides some of the Party cell activities in the month, including the contents that focus on propaganda; the contents that need to focus on leadership and direction in all areas.

The Secretary of the Party Cell of Hamlet 13, Thanh Luong Commune, said: “Since the internal newsletter of the Thanh Chuong District Party Committee was renewed, the direction of the Party Cell has become clearer and more specific. The content of the Party Cell's activities is of high quality, informing many issues to Party members; this is truly a "handbook", an important document for Party Cells today. For example, from the Formosa marine environmental incident, there were many ideas among cadres, Party members and people, but through the internal newsletter, the district has had articles analyzing and clarifying many issues, contributing to good orientation of ideological work.

Obviously, besides the efforts, ideological work is still raising many issues that need attention. Through surveys and probes in the form of sociological investigations conducted by the Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee in early 2016 to each base, cadre, and party member, many ideological manifestations were pointed out.

Conservatism is emerging among cadres, party members and the people. For cadres, it is refusing to innovate their leadership and management style, not daring to look at their own mistakes in handling and concluding some petitions, complaints and denunciations so that citizens continue to complain to their superiors. For the people, it is being conservative in changing the structure of crops and livestock; not applying new technical measures.

In addition, among cadres, party members and people, there are still signs of stagnant thinking, unwillingness to change and be creative; narrow-mindedness, localism, rivalry, lack of exemplary behavior; fear of difficulties, early satisfaction, waiting, dependence... These are issues that have hindered the overall development of Thanh Chuong district in recent years.

Frankly looking at the current situation and limitations, Thanh Chuong District Party Committee issued Project 04/DA-HU, dated October 10, 2016 on continuing to promote ideological work, overcoming conservatism, stagnation, narrow-mindedness, fear of difficulties, and early satisfaction; innovating thinking and working methods, creating high consensus for development.

Comrade Dang Anh Dung - Standing Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, emphasized: “Ideological work is defined as the task of “going first, coming later”; going first to propagate, thoroughly understand, enlighten, coming later to evaluate, summarize, draw experience, and improve the Party's guidelines and policies to be closer to reality. Each cadre and Party member needs to cultivate in all aspects to contribute to promptly and effectively resolving pressing social issues, contributing to strengthening the trust of all classes of people in the leadership of the Party, the management and administration of the State, contributing to the successful implementation of the goals, targets, and tasks set forth by the District Party Congress, term XXX, 2015-2020, soon making Thanh Chuong a fairly developed district in the Western region of the province.
