Differences between hostile views and dissimilar opinions to Party’s guidelines

During the years of renovation, hostile forces have unceasingly implemented schemes and “peace evolution” activities to undermine the Vietnamese revolution.

They have used the so-called democratic, human right, national or religious issues as pretexts to sabotage the leadership of the Party and change the political system in Vietnam .

They have spread out false information and hostile views to attack the Party’s ideology, causing anxiety and oscillations in terms of socialist ideology and ideal of socialism.

During the years of renovation, hostile forces have unceasinglyimplemented schemes and “peace evolution” activities to undermine theVietnamese revolution.

They have used the so-called democratic,human right, national or religious issues as pretexts to sabotage theleadership of the Party and change the political system in Vietnam .

Theyhave spread out false information and hostile views to attack theParty’s ideology, causing anxiety and oscillations in terms of socialistideology and ideal of socialism.

In his article, Prof. Dr. LeHuu Nghia, Deputy Chairman of the Central Theory Council, pointed outthat it is necessary to differentiate between hostile views anddifferent (disparate, dissimilar) opinions to Party’s policies.

In regard to awareness of issues related to the Party’s guidelinesand views and the State’s policies, it is not avoidable to have variousopinions among the Government employees, Party members and people.

According to Nghia, this is normal. Due to diverse social positions,benefits, education levels and experiences, people have differentapproaches to the Party’s guidelines and views. However, it mustunderstand that are diverse opinions among people and not regard them ashostile attitude, he said.

In the renovation cause, the Partyencourages new thoughts to seek innovations and create new ideas. TheParty and State ask for new ideas or breakthroughs in theories,programmes or scientific research. New thoughts are usually beyondold perceptions or existing views and guidelines.

Nghia pointed out differences between “wrong, hostile views” and other opinions that are dissimilar to the Party’s policies.

Hostileforces and political opportunists raise erroneous, hostile views toattack the Party, negating the Party’s leadership role and criticise thesocialist government structure, denying the path to socialism, heexplained.

There are opinions raised by officials, Party membersand people that are disagreed with some of the Party’s policies, hesaid, adding that at a certain time, the views are to build orcontribute to the Party and State for better leadership and management.

Incorrect,hostile outlooks have flatly denied main contents and core points inthe Party’s political platform as well as refused the leadership of theCommunist Party of Vietnam with a view to overthrowing the socialism andchanging the political system in Vietnam , he affirmed.

Hostileforces are willing to make fabrications with a groundless explanationto impose corruption and embezzlement of some Party members upon theentire Communist Party. These hostile people have negated the Party’sachievements and history and impute all mistakes to the Communist Partyof Vietnam.

For those whose opinions are dissimilar to theParty’s policies, it is might be their limited awareness or simplethinking, they do not belong to hostile forces.

We have tostruggle, strongly criticise and not compromise with domestic andforeign wrong, hostile views, Nghia emphasised, adding that hostileforces use any cunning to undermine our revolutionary cause, sabotagethe Party and State. Their ill intention remains unchanged.

Forthose who have just different opinions not hostile views, we have toargue and make it clear through dialogues, discussions and talks in thespirit of comradeship, solidarity and unanimity.

We criticiseerroneous views, but not offend individuals. Through criticisms, we haveto look back ourselves, review the implementation of the contents inthe Party and State’s policies, helping improve the Party and State’sguidelines. As a result, criticism turns into self-criticism, Nghiaaffirmed.-VNA
