Commenting on the draft political report at the 9th Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Head of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization Truong Thi Mai suggested that the reports should not only be documents of the Front agencies, but also carry the "breath" of the people.

“This is very important, because the Front is the legitimate representative of the people’s legitimate interests. Therefore, the report must be a listening to the opinions, thoughts and aspirations of the people. Only then will it be more inspiring and persuasive, and the Front’s congress will be the most anticipated congress of the people,” he stated.

The reports presented to the congress must also deepen the Party's viewpoints and the people's requirements for the front's activities in the new era. Therefore, the drafts must be expanded to society to widely collect people's opinions on the mass media, in order to complete the report, in accordance with the new situation.

Setting out tasks for the last 6 months of 2018 for the Vietnam Fatherland Front at all levels, Central Secretary and Head of the Central Mass Mobilization Commission Truong Thi Mai suggested that the Fatherland Front at all levels must coordinate with organizations and sectors, actively contributing to solving "hot" issues and stabilizing the situation in the country.

Reality shows that many pressing issues arise, and some segments of the population are not fully aware of the Party and State's guidelines and policies. These limitations must be deeply recognized by the Front, thereby setting new tasks for the great national unity bloc, which must be studied, evaluated and oriented together with the Party and State to resolve existing problems and difficulties.

Comrade Truong Thi Mai also suggested that the Front must create new vitality for the great solidarity bloc; promote national spirit, to unite Vietnamese people at home and abroad, and strengthen the close relationship between the Party and the people.

In promoting people's mastery, the Front participates in ensuring that people participate in making decisions related to life benefits. Through debate, discussion, and monitoring of opinions, people know, people do, people check, and monitor. Along with ensuring that people promote their mastery, the Front must also balance and promote citizens' responsibility in upholding discipline and ethics.

Regarding the Front's monitoring and criticism activities, Head of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization Truong Thi Mai affirmed the important role of the Front in monitoring the implementation of the Party's Resolutions. This is clearly shown in the Central Resolutions 4, 6 and 7. Specifically, Decision 99 and Decision 124 have created a mechanism and legal corridor for the Front's monitoring activities.

“If we talk about Party documents, the Front has full mechanisms and laws to monitor and criticize. The core thing is that we must know how to choose issues to criticize deeply,” Comrade Truong Thi Mai emphasized.

Therefore, in the last 6 months of 2018, the Front must promote critical thinking, further strengthen monitoring activities, especially promote the mechanism of "people know, people do, people discuss, people inspect" to create consensus and trust from the people.
