Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh's eloquent statement was not matched by action.

By now, Da Nang public opinion may feel offended after hearing Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh's eloquent statements because they are not matched by actions.

Since the 4th Central Conference of the 12th tenure, public opinion has continuously witnessed the Party's strong actions in disciplining many high-ranking officials at both the central and local levels.

Most recently, on October 6, the Central Executive Committee announced the decision to discipline Da Nang City Party Secretary Nguyen Xuan Anh as well as the entire Da Nang City Party Standing Committee, once again firmly reinforcing the General Secretary's statement: there are no forbidden zones or exceptions in handling officials who commit violations.

Sharing their feelings about the disciplinary action against the head of Da Nang city, many people shared the same feeling of sadness rather than happiness. Mr. Nguyen Tuc, Chairman of the Cultural and Social Advisory Council, Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, said that his first feeling was sadness when, for the first time, a young member of the Central Committee was disciplined for violations related to Party discipline and communist ethics.

The Party has spent a lot of effort to train high-ranking officials and put all its trust in them, but because of money and fame, they have disappointed the Party. However, despite the disappointment and pain of having to deal with their comrades, the Party has shown its determination to do it to the end. This determination of the Party has lessened the sadness because since the renovation, the Party has launched many rectification campaigns, but this is the most impressive time, the Party has shown its most determination and strength.

“The fact that comrade Nguyen Xuan Anh, the youngest leader in the central government, was disciplined is the answer to those who are still wondering about the General Secretary’s statement that there are no forbidden zones or safe zones. I am very happy about that,” said Mr. Tuc.

According to Mr. Le Van Cuong, former National Assembly member of Thanh Hoa province, the disciplinary action of the Central Executive Committee against comrade Nguyen Xuan Anh is appropriate, demonstrating the strictness of the Party's discipline, especially according to Resolution 4 of the Central Committee. The disciplinary decision against Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh will be a lesson to remind and deter other cases, the violations will eventually be brought to light, dealt with, there is no way or force that can cover it up.

From the disciplinary action against Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh and many other senior officials before, Mr. Le Van Cuong said that there should be seriousness and a review of the "dark spots" in personnel work. That is the hasty and rushed restructuring process; many cases do not have practical experience; the process of assessment, evaluation, restructuring as well as placement into positions is not strict and accurate; not to mention that many officials when promoted also lack training, let material things and fame dominate and control themselves, so after a short time they lose themselves, revealing serious mistakes.

“I feel sad and sorry for the Party, for Da Nang City and for Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh’s family. A city that is considered worth living like Da Nang, but the leader of the city was disciplined for his mistakes. A person born into a family with tradition but disregards the achievements of his ancestors; he should have been a dedicated, visionary official, serving the people, but he lost himself to material things and fame.

By now, Da Nang public opinion may feel offended after hearing Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh's eloquent statements, even expecting him to follow in the footsteps of previous generations of leaders to bring Da Nang forward steadily, but until now those statements have not been matched by deeds and actions," Mr. Cuong expressed his thoughts.

Ms. Bui Thi An - former National Assembly member of Hanoi City, said that the big problem in the lesson on cadre work is the selection of input. There must be a truly standard selection method to choose virtuous and talented people; must choose from many candidates for a position, the criteria must be clear, the selection method must be truly democratic, public and transparent. Selecting young people is good, but in addition to meeting all the criteria, it is necessary to focus on considering and evaluating the actual cadres, focusing on content rather than form.

To stand in a leadership position, it is not only a matter of qualifications but also important to have a process of training and cultivating through practice. Those results will show the capacity of that cadre, whether he or she can undertake the important responsibilities of a leader or not. Besides, supervision by Party organizations is indispensable and must be done regularly. In particular, there must be a mechanism for Party members to have the rights and conditions to supervise effectively.

"The reason for the recent disciplinary action against Mr. Nguyen Xuan Anh and many other officials, I think, is due to deference, which ultimately led to undesirable consequences," said Ms. An./.
