National Assembly candidates are close to the people through voter contacts

Listening to the voices of voters in many regions

In the early days of March, a series of voter contact conferences of National Assembly candidates of constituency No. 5 in Da Nang took place continuously, through localities such as Ban Thach, Huong Tra, Nui Thanh, Tam Hai, Chien Dan and Tien Phuoc, Thanh Binh, Tra My... That journey took candidates through many different development spaces – from central urban areas, industrial parks to rural, coastal and mountainous plains of the former Quang Nam province (now Da Nang).

In Ban Thach ward, many voters were interested in urban planning, living environment, employment and the supervisory responsibility of National Assembly deputies. The atmosphere of the conference was quite lively when people frankly expressed their opinions and wished that deputies after being elected would pursue to the end the issues that voters proposed.

Voter Tran Van Tuong (Truong Dong residential group, Ban Thach ward) said that candidates when elected as National Assembly deputies need to prioritize solving the "asymmetry" problem in the current urban development of Da Nang city after the merger, when the southern area of the city is falling into a situation of deserted streets and sparse population.

Leaving the city, the voter contact conference in Nui Thanh - an area with many industrial parks - recorded many opinions from workers and laborers. Stories about wages, housing, cultural institutions and the spiritual life of workers were mentioned many times.

Mr. Tran Van Nam, a worker at a mechanical enterprise in Nui Thanh industrial park, shared: "We hope that National Assembly deputies will pay more attention to workers' lives, from housing, schools for children to cultural living spaces. When they learned that Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan is the new Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour, workers were very hopeful that the voice of workers would be heard more.

According to many voters, what left an impression in the meetings was the frank and close exchange of Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Member of the Party Central Committee, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Fatherland Front, central organizations, Secretary of the Party Committee, President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor when exchanging about issues of concern to voters. Instead of general statements, he emphasized specific policies related to social security, employment, welfare for workers and sustainable development.

Voter Tran Thanh Hoang in the midland area of Tien Phuoc commented: "We see that Mr. Tuan's action program is quite close to the reality of people's lives, especially issues such as caring for workers, sustainable poverty reduction and infrastructure development.

Bringing the voice of voters to the assembly hall

From March 6 - March 7, National Assembly candidates continue to directly and online contact voters in mountainous areas such as Tra My, Nam Tra My, Tra Leng, Tra Tan..., where people's lives are still difficult.

Here, voters paid much attention to practical issues such as transportation, health, education, livelihoods for ethnic minorities and solutions to prevent landslides during the rainy and storm season.

Village elder Ho Van Dinh (Nam Tra My) shared that people in the highlands want the State to continue to invest in roads, schools and health stations to make travel, study and medical examination and treatment more convenient. "We also hope to have more livelihood models so that people have stable jobs and no longer have food shortages in the lean season," he said.

Many voters said that after following the forum, they were impressed when the candidates, including Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - spent time listening to each specific opinion of the people.

Before the recommendations of voters from urban to mountainous areas, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan affirmed that if he is trusted by voters to be elected as a National Assembly deputy, he will actively participate in policy making and truthfully reflect the voice of the people to the National Assembly and competent agencies.

He emphasized priority issues such as caring for workers, sustainable poverty reduction, investment in education and grassroots healthcare, development of rural and mountainous infrastructure, and promoting innovation and digital transformation to create new growth momentum.

According to him, the responsibility of National Assembly deputies is not only to record voters' opinions, but also to monitor, urge and persistently pursue to the end the resolution of issues raised by the people.
