Continue to rely on the People to build a clean and strong Party
(Baonghean.vn) - Relying on the People to build the Party is an important content in the innovation of the Party's leadership method, a creative application of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, especially through nearly 40 years of leading the implementation of the country's renovation.
The Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress has decided on 10 tasks and solutions on building and rectifying a clean and strong Party, enhancing the Party's governing capacity, including the task and solution of "Further tightening the close relationship between the Party and the People, relying on the people to build the Party".
Marxism-Leninism always emphasizes the role of the masses, considering the strength of the masses to be invincible. To lead the revolution, one must have close ties with the people. Lenin pointed out: "One of the greatest and most frightening dangers of a ruling party is to cut off its ties with the masses."
On October 12, 1945, beloved Uncle Ho wrote in the National Salvation Newspaper: “If you want the people to love you and win your heart, you must do your best to do what is beneficial to the people and avoid what is harmful to the people.” In his work “Common Political Knowledge” written in 1953, Uncle Ho advised: “Party members must rely on the people to build the Party.”


Promoting the tradition of our ancestors through thousands of years of building and defending the country, absorbing the theory of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, our Party has put forward a very correct viewpoint: "Revolution is the cause of the people, by the people, for the people, the people are the masters, the people are the masters". The 13th National Party Congress clearly stated: "The people are the center, the subject of the cause of innovation, building and defending the Fatherland; all guidelines and policies must truly originate from the lives, aspirations, rights and legitimate interests of the people, taking the happiness and prosperity of the people as the goal to strive for. Tighten the close relationship between the Party and the people to build the Party, consolidate and strengthen the people's trust in the Party, the State and the socialist regime".
Thanks to the profound understanding of the above viewpoint, our Party has led our people to defeat the invaders and achieve many great achievements of historical significance as affirmed by the Party in the Political Report of the 13th National Congress: "With all modesty, we can still say that: Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as today."


In fact, since the Party's founding, in many different forms and methods, before issuing policies and guidelines, the Party has always organized surveys, summarized practices, and solicited people's opinions. The preparation of documents for Party congresses at all levels (from the Central to the grassroots) has been prepared early and elaborately. After the draft documents were available, Party committees at all levels have organized to collect opinions, received them many times, and widely published them for people's opinions on mass media. The Politburo, the National Assembly, and the Government have issued many documents for socio-political organizations and the People to participate in monitoring, criticizing, and contributing ideas to build the Party and the State. In particular, Party committees at all levels have paid great attention to leading the People and voters to introduce, nominate, and select virtuous and talented people to represent them as National Assembly and People's Council deputies.
In the general context of the world and the whole country, many localities have experienced rapid socio-economic development thanks to the Party committees and authorities knowing how to rely on the people and promote all resources of the people for investment and development. The recent efforts to prevent and combat natural disasters, storms, floods, epidemics, corruption and waste have achieved many positive results thanks to the participation of the entire political system, the press and the entire population.
Relying on the People to build the Party is an important content in the innovation of the Party's leadership method, a creative application of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, especially through nearly 40 years of leading the implementation of the country's renovation.

To continue building a truly clean and strong Party, it is recommended that Party committees at all levels synchronously, closely and effectively implement a number of solutions such as: Relying on the People to strengthen Party building in terms of politics, ideology, ethics, and organizational apparatus; consolidating and improving the quality of grassroots Party organizations, Party members, and cadres at all levels, especially strategic-level cadres and leaders; improving the effectiveness and efficiency of Party inspection, supervision, discipline and the fight against corruption and waste.
The relationship between the Party and the People is a very special relationship; the Party is both the leader, the ruler, and the servant of the People, while the People, who voluntarily and sympathetically follow the Party's leadership, are the masters of the country. The strength of the Party lies in the close bond between the Party and the People, and the prosperity of the country is also determined by this close, strong relationship under the Party's leadership. Looking back at the 94-year history of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as a representative of the nation and the working people, without the trust of the People, the Party could not exist and could not have grown as it has today. It is because of their trust in the Party's leadership that the People are willing to follow the Party, protect the Party, build the Party, and successfully implement all of the Party's policies and guidelines.

Tet is coming, Spring is coming, every Vietnamese person, including overseas Vietnamese, remembers Uncle Ho, remembers the great contributions of the Party, of the beloved Uncle Ho. In 2024, our Party will definitely continue to rely on the People to build a clean and strong Party, lead the country to achieve even greater achievements, and reach the new spring of glory and happiness.
