'It is difficult for a Party organization to get work done if it is far from the people'

Mr. Le Quang Thuong said that wherever the Party organization is far from the people, does not rely on the people, and cannot mobilize the people, it will be difficult to get the job done.

The fight to prevent and repel the degradation of political ideology, morality, lifestyle, and manifestations of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” within the Party is a fierce battle, but it is inevitable because it is related to the fate of the Party and the regime. Therefore, the issuance of a Resolution to further promote the work of Party building and rectification has received great attention and expectations from public opinion. VOV reporter interviewed Mr. Le Quang Thuong - former Deputy Head of the Central Organizing Committee on this content.

Mr. Le Quang Thuong, former Deputy Head of the Central Organizing Committee.

PV:Resolution 4 of the 12th Central Committee on strengthening Party building and rectification has been creating a rapid and wide spread and strong impact on the spiritual life of society. This is an assessment of all public opinion within the Party as well as among the people. What impressed you most in the process of implementing Resolution 4 of the Central Committee?

Mr. Le Quang Thuong:During the implementation process, all levels and sectors met, listened to reports, discussed and discussed measures to implement the Resolution into life. The Central Committee has formulated this Resolution in quite a detailed and specific manner, the proposed measures are also strong and drastic, and the problem is how to implement it. Therefore, people expect to thoroughly understand how to implement it.

PV: One of the new points of the Resolution of the 12th Central Committee, Session 4, is the establishment of criteria for evaluating and screening party members. However, this is also one of the challenges for cadres, party members and leaders. In your opinion, how can this work be implemented most effectively?

Mr. Le Quang Thuong: The most important factor is that the leader must be resolute and serious. In places where the leader is not active, or even has shortcomings and defects, it will be difficult to implement. Hopefully, all levels, sectors, and Party organizations must implement well together to urge everyone to follow.

PV:According to him, are the weapons of criticism and self-criticism still powerful enough to prevent and push back the current state of ideological, moral, and lifestyle degradation of a number of cadres and party members?

Mr. Le Quang Thuong: First of all, in the Party organization, criticism and self-criticism must be done well; the State needs to have appropriate policies and mechanisms to control the situation. The most important thing is to rely on the people, mobilize the people to participate in promoting positive aspects and fighting negative aspects. Where the Party organization is far from the people, does not rely on the people, and cannot mobilize the people, it will be difficult to get the job done. Apply comprehensive measures on education, management, policy mechanisms and especially the people must participate.

This is a period of profound and comprehensive innovation and implementation of market mechanisms, so there are many positive aspects but also many negative aspects, affecting the Party organization. Recently, high-ranking leaders have also been determined, raising a number of major cases for direction and handling, but I still feel it is a bit slow, the people are expecting stronger direction.

PV: We are entering the new year of Dinh Dau with many new opportunities but also many difficulties and challenges. In your opinion, what should we do to continue to promote the new spirit and new momentum of the Central Resolution 4 and create people's trust in the Party?

Mr. Le Quang Thuong:This is a long-term Resolution, not something that can be completed in 1 or 2 years, so the direction must be extremely persistent, learning from experience step by step before the Resolution can be put into practice.

PV: In the 4 solution tasks, which group of solution tasks do you think we need to focus on?

Mr. Le Quang Thuong:The most important thing is that political and ideological education must be done better. Party organizations and Party committees at all levels must strengthen their management work so that this work is truly the Party's core task in the present and future, including management within the Party and management of the State. Another important issue is to rely on the people.

PV:Many people believe that a useful deed and a practical contribution are worth more than bragging words and a living example is worth more than hundreds of propaganda speeches. What do you think about role models and honoring examples that have a great influence in the community?

Mr. Le Quang Thuong:Setting an example is very important, more practical than lectures and better reaches people's hearts.

PV: Thank you sir./.
