The Political Bureau and Secretariat have issued Conclusion 127, requiring research and proposals for restructuring the political system machinery. This decision follows a review of the research and proposal implementation progress report.
Restructuring Organizational Direction
The conclusion emphasizes the research direction of merging some provincial-level administrative units, eliminating district-level organizations, and merging municipal units. The objective is to establish a two-tiered local model (party organization, government, and mass organizations) to enhance operational efficiency, effectiveness, and impact.
Political Bureau Directs Temporary Suspension of District and Commune Party Congresses – 1
Research Methodology Requirements
Research must be conducted objectively, democratically, scientifically, specifically, profoundly, and earnestly, closely aligned with practical situations. Crucially, it must address overlapping functions and responsibilities, geographic and sectoral fragmentation, and eliminate cumbersome intermediary organizations. The ultimate goal is to ensure the smooth, effective, and impactful operation of the political system.
Completion Timeline and Specific Tasks
The Political Bureau demands the highest political resolve for implementation, adopting the “running while organizing” approach. Completion must ensure quality and adherence to the timeline, submitting to the Central Party Committee by the middle of April.
A key component is the temporary suspension of district and commune-level party congresses. Following the 11th meeting of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau will issue specific guidance to localities.
Specific tasks include:
- Developing a proposal for merging some provincial-level administrative units, eliminating district-level organizations, and continuing the merging of municipal units.
- Developing a proposal for restructuring and streamlining the People’s Front organizations, political-social organizations, and mass organizations assigned by the Party and State (at central, provincial, and municipal levels) after the mergers and consolidations.
- Developing a proposal for the local party organization system (provincial and municipal levels); compiling a report and submission to the Central Party Committee.
- Developing a proposal for the local judicial and procuratorial system, following the direction of non-district-level organization.
- Continuing the restructuring of the military.
- Reviewing, amending, and supplementing the Party’s regulations, Constitution, and state laws.
Ensuring Continuous Operation
The restructuring and streamlining of the organizational machinery must ensure the continuous operation of all agencies and organizations, without disruption, and without impacting Party, state, and citizen activities and businesses.
Conclusion
The Political Bureau and Secretariat’s decision to restructure the political system machinery is a significant step toward enhancing the system’s operational effectiveness, meeting the demands of national development in the current phase. Implementation must be conducted scientifically, effectively, and ensure continuity in the operation of the political system.
