“Accepting a change of position, even leaving one’s position to help the country develop, is also a meaningful thing to do. When national interests are placed above all else, personal or organizational issues will no longer be a major obstacle,” Secretary Nguyen Van Nen emphasized at the 20th session of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council on December 9.
Obviously, when streamlining the apparatus, it is necessary to cut personnel, only selecting those who are truly capable, the biggest obstacle is who stays and who goes. At this time, someone must be brave enough to "leave the position", because if everyone is afraid of losing their seat of power, it will cause difficulties and complications for the common work.
Leaving your seat is sacrifice, giving up your position to someone better is brave, knowing your own limitations is wisdom, and the act of leaving is truly for the country and the people.
For the sake of the country and the people, we must be heartbroken to see that the budget is spending nearly 70% on salaries and regular expenses. The people cannot bear this budget burden and the country has no more resources to develop.
For the country and the people, it means breaking away from conservative, backward things and bureaucratic habits, replacing them with a modern style, a disciplined spirit, and an upright heart. Anyone who realizes that he or she is no longer suitable for the demands of the new space and new era, then withdrawing is an honorable act.
Previously, in his concluding speech at the 34th Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Conference for the 2020-2025 term on December 4, Secretary Nguyen Van Nen proposed to resolutely implement policies to attract talents to the public sector; build a breakthrough mechanism to discover, attract and promote people with outstanding abilities outside the Party.
The era of development requires talented people with high intelligence and qualities to shoulder the national affairs. Therefore, the policy of attracting talented people must be implemented effectively at this time, talented people, experts, and people with outstanding talents must be respected.
The Vietnamese people have a tradition of patriotism. Whenever the country needs sacrifice to successfully carry out a revolution, that patriotism is awakened and everyone is ready to act.
The appeal of Secretary Nguyen Van Nen is very strong and meaningful, and will certainly touch the patriotic hearts of cadres, civil servants and people.
