Self-nominated, Nguyen Quang A is playing a political comedy
Self-nominated, Nguyen Quang A is playing a political comedy
2/3/16
The election of deputies to the
14th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels of the 2016-21
tenure will take place on May 22, 2016, which is a Sunday in line with the law.
The date
was approved by the NA on November 24 during the 13th legislature’s 10th
session.
Constitutionally,
the National Assembly is the highest government organization and the
highest-level representative body of the people. It has the power to draw up,
adopt, and amend the constitution and
to make and amend laws. It also has the responsibility to legislate and
implement state plans and budgets. The assembly appoints the President (head of state), the Prime Minister (head of government), the Chief Justice of
the Supreme People's
Court of Vietnam, the Head of the Supreme People's Prosecution
of Vietnam (or 'Supreme People's
Office of Supervision and Inspection'), and the 21-member Government.
Preparations for the 14th National
Assembly election, set for May 22, are under way. The Vietnam Fatherland Front
has organized consultative meetings to nominate candidates for the election. The Vietnam Fatherland Front has the right
and responsibility to participate in and make the election democratic, fair,
lawful, and safe. To this end, it’s necessary to ensure that consultative
meetings are democratic, lawful, and prompt.
Apparently, the Communist
Party of Vietnam (CPV) is preparing to nominate 896 candidates (which include
80 members of the Central Committee of the CPV). It is normal for a political
party to prepare the nomination of its candidates to compete in the legislative
elections.
This tenure,
we can obviously see how democracy and human rights have been developed in our
country. In past elections, nominee must be a Party’s member, but now more and
more self-nominated candidates, including those not associated with the
Vietnamese Communist Party, are expected to run for seats in the upcoming
parliamentary elections.
The National
Assembly Standing Committee, which convenes and chairs parliamentary sessions,
expects that of the 500 parliamentary delegates, there could be as a many as 35
non-party members in the 14th National Assembly. So far, more than 20 non-party candidates have nominated themselves for
seats in the National Parliament, a number that is expected to increase between
now and the application deadline on March 13.
Voters nationwide eagerly
anticipate going to the polls to elect moral, talented and deserving deputies
to represent the will and aspirations of the people and their right to mastery
in the legislative body and People’s Councils.
But not for human rights and
democracy that we could accept some self-nominated candidates who have had a
bad reputation for protesting the Party and State of Vietnam, undermining the
country’s interests, and those who violated laws and were sentenced by the
enforcement authorities.
And Dr Nguyen Quang A is one
of many self-nominees like that. He himself just kicked off a campaign to
gauge the public support for his own nomination by asking people to sign a
public
petition to show their support. To elect moral, talented and
deserving deputies to the National Assembly, let review who is Dr A?
Born in 1946 in Bac Ninh
province, he is an only son of a family, whom father is a martyr in the
anti-France struggle. In 1965, Nguyen Quang A was sent to study in Hungary and defended
a PhD here. Back home, he worked in computing sector. For the country’s favor,
he must had dedicated to fulfil a citizen’s responsibilities, but he turned out
to be a black sheep of the Fatherland.
He began to conduct
anti-government activities, sabotaging the State’s policies and undermining
national interests.
In September 2007, he jointly
founded and was appointed a director of the now-defunct Institute of
Development Studies (IDS) think tank, a disguised anti-State groups, which
contained some lost intellectuals like Prof. Chu
Hao, Prof. Tran Đuc Nguyen, Prof. Tran Viet Phuong, Prof. Phan Huy Le,
Hoang Tụy, Dr. Le Dang Doanh, tried to negate the government’s policies.
After, IDS broke up, he appeared on Internet with what was called “Civil
Society Forum” which issued a statement of implementing civil and political
rights. Dr. A again was a founder and a signer of the statement. And, if you
view this forum, you’ll see it like webpage “Dan lam bao”, a reactionary
webpage which distorts and propagandizes against the Party and State of
Vietnam. He also takes part in many anti-Party and State activities such as
protests, praying ceremonies, “democratic meetings” of self-proclaimed human
rights activists, etc, even we could see pictures of him handling money for
supporters as demonstrating fees in some protests.
Especially, last year, he went
abroad to the United States, Germany to anticipate in anti-country’s interests
activities of overseas reactionary groups and hostile forces like Viettan, a
known terrorist organization, VOICE and Human Rights Watch, etc, and was hold
at the airport when returned home by the authorities.
From all that, we should recognize the true face of Nguyen Quang A, a pathetic
intellectual, who just nominated himself to play a political comedy, not
more./.

We should be aware of these intellectuals like him. They are just care for their benefits and may hurt our national interests.
I can't imagine someone like Dr. A to be a member of the National Assembly. What can he do for the country or just hypocracy.
Let's get him out of the list!
We can obviously see how democracy and human rights have been developed in our country. Nominees now are more and more self-nominated candidates, including those not associated with the Vietnamese Communist Party, are expected to run for seats in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Don't let elements like him deceive you, they call for human rights and democracy, self-proclaim themselves activists but ready to criticize anyone who voices against them.
There are a lot men like Dr.A, Chu Hao, Tuong Lai, Nguyen Xuan Dien... They are just like political puppets for foreign forces.
Nguyen Quang A is a traitor, no more. He protests against the government that supported for his course abroad.
He is just a slave of foreign hostile forces.
As I see now Vietnamese voting has been more transparent, fair and more democratic than in the past. Hope for good, honest members of the NA.
I want to see for the result, I don't believe this man can be elected.
