Clarifying the criteria of "exemplary behavior of husband, wife and children"

Do not take a vote of confidence with people taking time off to treat serious illnesses

On the afternoon of June 9, continuing the 5th session, the National Assembly discussed the draft Resolution on taking a vote of confidence and voting for people holding positions elected or approved by the National Assembly and People's Councils (amended).

Participating in giving comments, delegate Tran Cong Phan (Binh Duong delegation) basically agreed with the draft Resolution, and participating in speaking, delegates were concerned about the consequences of the vote of confidence.

According to the delegate, if the trust level is low, the position elected by the National Assembly or the People's Council will be dismissed. "What about the qualifications of National Assembly deputies and People's Council deputies? How should we calculate?", the delegate asked.

Therefore, the representative recommends that in this case, the National Assembly representative or People's Council representative should also be dismissed. But the method must be regulated.

"If a delegate whose trust is low must be dismissed from his position, should he still be a National Assembly delegate or a People's Council delegate?", the delegate continued to raise concerns.

Dialogue - Vote of confidence: Clarifying the criteria of — National Assembly Deputy Tran Cong Phan speaks during the discussion.

Commenting on the draft Resolution, delegate Nguyen Hai Anh (Dong Thap delegation) agreed with the regulation of not taking a vote of confidence for a person holding a position but "taking leave to treat a serious illness with confirmation from a medical facility and not managing work for 6 months or more according to the decision of a competent agency or individual up to the time of the opening of the session to take a vote of confidence".

Regarding the basis for assessing the level of trust for those who are voted for, delegate Hai Anh proposed adding "practicing thrift and fighting waste" to the draft Resolution to ensure consistency in implementation as well as evaluation.

According to the British delegate, "practicing thrift and combating waste" is a consistent policy stipulated in the Constitution and stipulated in many resolutions and conclusions of the Central Committee, institutionalized into the Law on Practicing Thrift and Combating Waste.

Therefore, adding "results of leadership and direction in implementing the Party and State's policies on practicing thrift and fighting waste" to the basis for assessing the level of trust for those who are given a vote of confidence or a vote of no confidence is appropriate, ensuring a comprehensive and objective assessment of those who are given a vote of confidence or a vote of no confidence.

Dialogue - Vote of confidence: Clarify the criteria of — National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Hai Anh participated in giving comments.

Agree with the addition of some provisions specifying prohibited acts to ensure that the implementation of the confidence vote process is carried out objectively, transparently and in accordance with the law. However, the delegate suggested that the drafting committee clarify the acts of lobbying, enticing, and bribery, including acts such as promising higher job positions and titles.

At the same time, it is proposed to change the phrase "impacting National Assembly deputies and People's Council deputies" to "directly or indirectly affecting National Assembly deputies and People's Council deputies", because in reality, these acts are often very cleverly concealed. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate acts that do not directly impact, but can significantly affect deputies.

The vote of confidence for positions elected and approved by the National Assembly and People's Councils is extremely important, has great political significance and impact, and attracts public attention both domestically and internationally.

Therefore, delegate Hai Anh also proposed to supplement regulations on leadership and direction of the organization of information dissemination work, ensuring the motto of being proactive, timely, objective, impartial in a constructive spirit so that voters, people, friends, public opinion and international media clearly understand and support this work, ensuring the comprehensive success of the vote of confidence and vote of confidence.

Need to clarify criteria for exemplary behavior

Participating in giving opinions, delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga (Hai Duong delegation) said that the implementation of the vote of confidence and vote of confidence for people holding positions elected or approved by the National Assembly and People's Councils is one of the innovations in the activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils since the previous term, which has been paid special attention to, followed, recognized and highly appreciated by voters and people nationwide.

Comments on the basis for assessing the level of trust for those who are subject to a vote of confidence and a vote of confidence are also issues of interest to delegates.

Delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga (Hai Duong delegation) said the draft Resolution added the criterion of "exemplary behavior of oneself and spouse and children in complying with the State's policies and laws".

The female delegate said that it is necessary to review and possibly clarify the group of subjects who have family relationships and are close to the person who is being voted on for a vote of confidence.

"In the Vietnamese legal system, determining parent-child relationships includes cases of biological children, adopted children, children who were recognized before marriage, minors, and children who are 18 years old. These cases all have different legal consequences in specific regulations," said Ms. Nga.

The delegate suggested that the criteria for exemplary behavior of spouses and children in complying with policies and laws as a basis for assessment should be clarified in relation to the assigned duties and powers of the person being voted on for a vote of confidence to avoid taking advantage of personal violations by relatives to reduce their prestige in holding assigned positions.

Delegate Mai Thi Phuong Hoa (Nam Dinh delegation) also pointed out that Regulation No. 96-QD/TW, when referring to the use of confidence vote results, shows that confidence vote results are not only used to handle officials with low confidence votes at high levels, but are also used to evaluate officials, as a basis for planning, mobilizing, appointing, recommending candidates and implementing policies for officials.

In addition, according to Regulation 96 of the Party, there is also a noteworthy content which is to pay attention to training, fostering, and arranging the use of highly trusted cadres.

Therefore, the delegate suggested that for those with high confidence votes, how and for what purposes these results should be used should also be reflected in this revision of the Resolution .
