The Hong Kong Democratic Party was disappointed with the regional council reorganization plan announced by the Hong Kong government. Chairman Luo Jianxi believes that in the future, district councils may be biased towards the government in major issues.
According to the Sing Tao Daily, Luo Jianxi said on the morning of Wednesday (May 3) on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program that in the future, the chairman of the district council, the election and appointed parliamentarians, the actual service is the government, not the citizen,When there are major controversial areas, whether it will help the public or protect the government, and will become a question.
Luo Jianxi said that under the direct election system, the past district council supervised government departments and reflected the opinions of citizens, but the new system became top -down, and the actual power relationship became "government assigning things.Do it for you "and lose the original function.
He also mentioned that because the appointment and the inter -candidates were eventually responsible for the appointment of them in the future, that is, the SAR government, the biggest difference from direct election is that in the past, everyone had to be baptized by elections.Only when the people's conditions and urgent citizens are anxious, they can be re -elected. In the future, the government appointed Councilor may not be able to think of what the citizens think.
As for the Democratic Party's intention, Luo Jianxi reiterated that he has not discussed carefully with the partymates. He agreed that the Democratic Party veteran Liu Huiqing said that if the sound can be kept in the system, you must keep it as much as possible.Only one -way opinion.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced on May 2nd that the new district council was greatly renamed, and the direct election seats were reduced from 90 % to 20 % to prevent radical political positions from entering the parliament.Under the new plan, there will be 470 district councilors held at the end of this year.The proportion composition.
