Not long ago, an unfortunate incident occurred in My Yen village (Cam My commune, Cam Xuyen, Ha Tinh) when the construction unit built a pontoon bridge across the river to mark the sand mine area in the area to serve the North-South expressway project. However, "when the house is on fire, the rats come out", the people identified the "hidden" people, from which they learned a lesson to prevent being lured and incited.
With the democratic nature of the regime, the Vietnamese State always pays special attention to and puts the democratic freedoms of citizens first. The implementation of these rights must be based on the rule of law. However, in practice, in recent years, some citizens have taken advantage of democratic freedoms to infringe upon the interests of the State, the rights and legitimate interests of organizations and individuals and have been severely punished. This is a warning lesson for citizens who deliberately do not understand, or are gullible and listen to the instigation of bad people and outside forces, and disobey the provisions of the law. |
Mr. Ha Huy Hung - Chairman of Cam My Commune People's Committee talked with Ha Tinh Newspaper reporter about public opinion among the people of My Yen village.
The instigators of “hiding”
To find out the truth behind the incident that happened in My Yen village, we planned our work very carefully, met with many leaders of agencies, departments, and branches as well as local people.
According to the local authorities, the incident has been going on for more than 5 months as of December 11, 2023. The work has been progressing very slowly, as the people do not agree with the superiors' policy on sand mining planning in the village. Among them, the obstruction of the construction of a pontoon bridge across the Ngan Mo River on December 11.
Area with sand mine planning in My Yen village, Cam My commune.
Talking to us, Mr. Phan Cong Loi - Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of Cam Xuyen District Party Committee said: "According to information from the working groups of the District Party Committee, the police force, relevant units and the locality, on the day of the incident, the majority of the people who gathered to obstruct the construction unit were women and some children. These were mostly people who had been incited and lured by other subjects before. In the list that the functional agencies from the province to the district were monitoring, there were 8 people who often incited people to protest against sand mining in My Yen village. It is worth mentioning that on December 11, many people in this group did not appear, so the people realized their mistakes when they were incited and lured." The above content was also affirmed by the leaders of Cam My commune when working with us.
Going to My Yen village and meeting many people, we got more valuable information and respected the people even more. Ms. VTT in My Yen village said: “Some people in the village were very surprised when those who called on them to obstruct and oppose the construction were nowhere to be seen all day. The villagers realized their intentions and felt foolish. They wanted to incite the villagers, but they themselves knew that opposing the Party and the State would be strictly dealt with according to the law.”
That's right! The law is always strict, no one can stand above the law, outside the law. The incident that day led to 11 people being summoned and questioned by the authorities, including many cases of live video streaming, posting, and commenting on provocative, untrue content about the My Yen sand mining policy on social networks. At the police station, these cases admitted that their actions were against the law, and pledged not to repeat the offense; the individuals who posted false information have removed the previously posted content on Facebook.
The sand mining area in My Yen village from the red line to the bank of Ngan Mo river contributes to "straightening" the river flow, thereby improving the flood drainage capacity of Ke Go lake.
In addition to the individuals who were punished, according to Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh - Secretary of Cam Xuyen District Party Committee: "Regarding the posting and dissemination of false information on social networks, through monitoring, there were also a number of people living in the southern provinces. These people were later discussed by district officials to understand the procedures related to sand mining and other legal regulations, especially the abuse of freedom of speech."
According to many people in My Yen village, the root cause of the obstruction of the construction unit from carrying out its tasks in the sand mine planning area is that previously, this planning area had a company come to explore and make the mining process. At that time, some people in the village mobilized the people to strongly protest, causing the company to give up. Also for this reason, some people took advantage of it, attracting people to gather and protest, even though this time the sand mining activity was to serve a national key project.
When people understand the policy
Coming back to the people of My Yen village at the end of the old year, we felt really warm. Talking in his cozy house, Mr. Le Huu Anh in the old village 2 (My Yen village was merged from the previous villages 2 and 3) expressed: “5 or 6 months ago, I watched TV and heard the Prime Minister say: When constructing the North-South expressway project, we ask localities to maximize and utilize available resources.
Personally, I have never seen such a big project before. I am not biased towards anyone. The government is launching a key project for the development of the country. Even though I am just an ordinary citizen, I am very excited. What the head of the government said is very profound and very reasonable. Therefore, the whole country must comply for the benefit of the nation."
Peace has returned to My Yen village and to every house here.
Mr. Anh and his wife, Ms. Le Thi Ha, also added: “In the past, when we went back and forth, we often heard about protests against sand mining; now people understand clearly. We no longer hear such gossip.”
As a party member, Mrs. Tran Thi Su (My Yen village) confided: “I myself used to participate in the movement. Many women in the village were very enthusiastic about the general movement, but recently, such an incident happened, I was really sad. Before, I tried to advise the women in one way or another, but many people did not listen. I myself was also very worried that if I was not careful, my family and I would be misunderstood by the villagers. But now, I see that the villagers have agreed and do not listen to the gossip about the protest.”
“I tell you, if we don’t trust the Party and the State, who else can we trust? The projects are being implemented for the strategic development goals of the country, not something that can be opposed just like that. No matter what you say, if the project puts up boundary markers in the middle of our houses, we will have to move. If the land where my house is currently located is part of the North-South Expressway project, I am willing to move my house to construct the project,” Ms. Su said boldly.
Party member Tran Thi Su talked with Vice Chairman of Cam My Commune People's Committee Nguyen Van Duong and reporters from Ha Tinh Newspaper.
Ms. NTL - a woman (who asked to remain anonymous) who owns land in the mining planning area also confided: “Before, I did not understand the policy clearly and did not care about the responses from the superiors, so I did not agree, but now there is no problem. To be honest, my family has a younger brother who also supported the majority that day, but has now changed his mind and is waiting for the government to complete the land compensation procedures in that area. In general, many people do not understand the policy and regulations clearly, even if we organize dialogues or meet with each person, they still do not listen.”
Joy was evident on the face of Mr. Nguyen Trong Hung - Secretary of the My Yen village Party Cell, saying: "Previously, a part of the people had an attitude of opposition or inciting others, but now, people have clearly understood and agreed". Mr. Ha Huy Hung - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cam My commune said: "Most of the people of My Yen have clearly understood the policies of the superiors and understood the strictness of the law. Currently, the ideological situation among the people is stable, most of them are very in agreement with the policies. Although there are still some individuals who are not really comfortable, I think they just need more time".
Recently, Ha Tinh has made many efforts to ensure the source of construction materials for the North-South expressway construction.
According to Mr. Hoang Van Ly - Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of Cam Xuyen District Party Committee: "After the instigators were summoned and dealt with, the people clearly recognized the problem. Through the work of grasping public opinion and private information channels, I saw that people in inter-family groups and areas in My Yen all agreed, there were no signs of opposition like before". Some people who had previously "accidentally" opposed, now did not feel comfortable speaking in front of the majority, but in their hearts they understood and agreed with the major policy, for the benefit of the country and homeland.
The above changes have brought a very happy signal at the beginning of the new year 2024, creating confidence in a My Yen that always knows how to put itself in the interests of the nation and the community.
