Despicable tricks of the so-called “democrats” (Part 2 and end)
21/9/16
It is necessary to reiterate that kind of
argument is wrongful, distorting the truth, only serving the hostile forces
resenting Vietnam. As for our people, more than anyone else, we treasure
significant achievements in all fields such as politics, economics, culture,
society, democracy, and human rights, earned by countless Vietnamese people’s
blood, sweat, tears. Our people know that only the Communist Party of Vietnam
whose ideological ground is Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh’s Thought is capable
enough to gather the whole nation and lead them to a revolution, overthrowing
feudalism and colonialism; to victory in the resistant war against imperialism,
gaining independence and unification, then building a strong, prosperous, and
civilized country, ensuring the true democracy and human rights. It has been
proved over the past 85 years that the Communist Party of Vietnam has always
strived for democracy and human rights in parallel with national independence
and socialism. That our Party has always considered democracy and human rights
the main points of its guidelines and policies it has gathered and encouraged
people from all walks of life to fight and sacrifice for revolutionary victory.
In the cause of reform today, if Party did not promote the exercise of
democracy and respect human rights, would it be able to mobilize and bring into
full play all the resources, all the economic sectors for the cause of
Socialist Homeland construction and protection? In the integration into
the world and the condition of a socialist-oriented market economy, our Party
and State always regard internal strength as a decisive factor, which is
reflected in guidelines and policies. To this end, our Party holds that “human
is the aim and motivation” for the country’s development. At the same time, the
Party always considers democracy the key to promoting Vietnamese people’s
potential and wisdom in Homeland construction and protection. Therefore,
alongside a focus on completing legal system to best guarantee the exercise of
democracy and human rights, the 2013 Constitution confirms that "in the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam, human rights and citizens' rights in the
political, civil, economic, cultural and social fields shall be recognized,
respected, protected and guaranteed in accordance with the Constitution and
law". Acts and various legal documents have recognized and
institutionalized citizen’s rights and responsibilities such as ownership
right, right of production material use, right of legal free business, right of
free speech, right of free press, right of free association, religious
and belief freedom, non-belief and non-religious freedom, and so on.
As for freedom of press, each ministry as well
as each sector has its own spokesperson to regularly answer questions made by
journalists at home and abroad. Monthly, the Government holds a regular press
conference after its regular meeting with the participation of the Government
Office Chairman, Spokesperson of the Government, most of the ministers, being
ready to answer journalists’ questions. Weekly, Vietnam Television, the
National Broadcaster, has the program called “Queries for Ministers” in which
people send their questions to ministers through the e-mail publicized on
television. Recently, the Minister of Health has set up hot lines for people to
report hospitals’ problems to hospital leaders and the Health Ministry.
In economic field, “democrats” often loudly
criticize our Party for being undemocratic, discriminatory. However, our Party
holds that all economic sectors operating in accordance with law are important
components of the national economy; all of them are equal under law,
developing, cooperating and fairly competing with one another in the long run.
In the new mechanism, every economic sector is equal in responsibilities and
rights, being supported to develop; all interests are respected, individual
ones are not discriminated, and among the strong motivations for national
development. Moreover, we strengthen opening policy and international
integration, while unceasingly bettering the business environment; encouraging
foreign enterprises to expand their production so as to bring into play our
potential and strength, building a strong and prosperous country. Consequently,
in the very difficult condition, while many countries worldwide are in deep
crisis, our economic growth rate in 2014 still stays at 5.98 %, much higher
than estimated; it is considered that Vietnam has security and political
stability, good environment for investment, attracting a lot of international
and regional investors.
In a volatile world, maintenance of political
stability, peaceful environment to develop economy, culture, society, improve
people’s lives, and preserve national independence and sovereignty is a
significant achievement. This has its roots in Party’s sound lines; people’s
unity, faith in Party’ leadership and determination to bring the country’s
reform to complete victory. All despicable tricks and distortion of the
so-called “democrats” will not deceive anyone.
