However, listening to people's opinions in some places is not really proactive; supervision and social criticism activities are increasingly quality, methodical but not uniform...
Mr. Tuan proposed strongly innovating operating methods, diversifying forms of listening to the People; improving the capacity and bravery of the Fatherland Front cadre team; promoting the subjective role of the People in supervision, social criticism, representing and protecting the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of the people.
Mr. Vu Trong Kim - Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Former Youth Volunteers - said that the Political Report of the Congress needs to further clarify the strategic significance of the great national unity.

Ms. Do Thi Hien - Chairwoman of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Labor Federation - said that in the past time, the Trade Union organization has played a good role in representing, caring for, and protecting the legitimate rights of workers, especially through dialogue and collective negotiation at the grassroots level.
She proposed that the Party and State pay more attention to social housing for workers to rent, cultural institutions serving workers and appropriate salary policies; and at the same time expects this Congress to create stronger and more drastic changes for the people, union members, association members and the development of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and member organizations.
