An important lever for sustainable national development

On January 21, at the discussion session on the documents of the 14th National Party Congress, Ms. Ha Thi Nga - Vice President, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front - presented a speech with the theme: "Promoting the strength of great national unity - the foundation, an important driving force to successfully implement the country's development goals in the new era".

According to Ms. Ha Thi Nga, over the past 5 years, under the leadership of the Party, under the close coordination of authorities at all levels, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has strongly innovated the content and methods of operation, promoted propaganda and mobilization work for all classes of people, increased consensus, unity and social stability, effectively implemented patriotic emulation movements and major campaigns.

Typically: Campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas, civilized urban areas", maintain the peak month of "For the Poor" annually and actively, support the construction of Great Unity houses, eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide... During the years of the COVID-19 epidemic, peak periods of storms and floods, people suffered heavy damage, the Vietnam Fatherland Front promptly launched, calling on people, soldiers nationwide and overseas Vietnamese to support large resources, contributing to overcoming the consequences of natural disasters and epidemics, stabilizing people's lives.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and member organizations are increasingly promoting their role as representatives, protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of the people, affirming their position as a trusting bridge between the Party, State and people through participating in building and perfecting institutions, legal policies and laws, organizing activities of social supervision and criticism, meeting voters and direct dialogue.

To promote the strength of national great unity, the Vietnam Fatherland Front recommends that the Party and State continue to create conditions and create a comprehensive breakthrough in awareness, organization and policy mechanisms so that the viewpoint of "taking the people as the center, subject, goal and driving force of innovation" must be deeply absorbed, turning the spirit of great solidarity into a concrete, practical and effective action.

Strengthen the mechanism for practicing democracy and transparency, ensuring that people participate in giving opinions, supervising and social criticism in a practical way; at the same time, requiring authorities at all levels, sectors and levels to strictly fulfill their responsibility to explain the people's recommendations. At that time, great national unity will certainly become an important lever, promoting the country's development and stability in the face of global fluctuations.

To implement the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress, in the coming time, the Party Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and Central organizations determined that more than ever, the Vietnam Fatherland Front needs to promote the role of political alliance, voluntary association of political organizations, socio-political organizations, social organizations and outstanding individuals in all classes, social classes, ethnic groups, religions, and overseas Vietnamese.

Continue to strongly and comprehensively innovate the content, methods and mechanisms of operation, focusing on issues of people's livelihood and democracy; improve the quality of cadres, especially the cadres of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations at the grassroots level; perfect and operate the organizational system according to the new model and coordination mechanism in the direction of "one thing - one focal point - one term - one result". At the same time, improve the quality of social supervision and criticism activities.

Movements and campaigns by the Vietnam Fatherland Front and member organizations must clearly define their goals, responsibilities, deadlines, measure their results, link them with political tasks and in accordance with practical situations; focus on unifying practical models to serve the community, contributing to socio-economic development, maintaining security and order and improving people's lives in residential areas.

Promote the promotion of democracy and the people's right to mastery; continue to propose institutionalization into a mandatory process to implement the motto: "People know, people discuss, people do, people inspect, people supervise, people benefit"; as well as further promote the role and responsibility of the Fatherland Front in implementing the mechanism of Party leadership, State management, and people as masters.

Strengthen the mechanism of direct and periodic dialogue every year to organize "People's Voice Month", deploy independent assessments of the provincial-level social trust index; apply technology and digital transformation to promptly listen, expand connections, receive and respond to people's opinions through the Digital Front platform, so that the Vietnam Fatherland Front must truly be a place where people place their trust, where all opinions of the people are listened to and respected, the Vietnam Fatherland Front must truly be a connecting thread between the Party, the State and the people, a place where the right policies are transformed into the right action and the right results.
