After the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced the regional council reorganization plan, Zeng Yucheng, chairman of the party chairman of the Lianqi and former Legislative Council of the Hong Kong DPP, said in an interview that the district council under the storm in 2019 completely subverted the original function,Only the Central and SAR governments were convinced that the original district council would happen.
Zeng Yucheng said on Monday (May 29), the website of the Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong, saying that the district council played a role beyond the basic law for some time after returning.The SAR Government's acquiescence and encouragement.
But Zeng Yucheng believes that the district council generated under the storm subverts the original functions of the district council and completely changes the central and the SAR government's imagination of regional administration.Without the function of consultation, the Central and Special Economic Zone Government strongly believes that the district council developed in accordance with the original direction is wrong. "
Zeng Yucheng pointed out that the error is reflected in the two levels.One is that the district council generated in 2019 has discovered that the Central and SAR governments have discovered that according to the previous system, there may be major problems. The second is that the political system led by the entire election seems to be "unreasonable".
Zeng Yucheng said that since the return of Hong Kong, the political system -including the election component of the district council is getting higher and higher, but the overall governance and social situation have not improved, but they often have chaos and even shake the fundamental constitutional systemOrder, "Some people say that the Legislative Council and the District Council are" democracy backward ", which is obviously measured by past standards. The country has given the opportunity to learn the West.In the end, is the democratic road that has been taken in the past? "
But Zeng Yucheng also pointed out that the central government may not have given up on dual universal elections.On the second day of the Hong Kong Legislative Council election in 2021, the central government posted a white paper saying that it would continue to work together with the relevant decisions of the Constitution, the Basic Law and the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee to work together with all walks of life in Hong Kong as the double universal election goal, and did not deny the general election.
Zeng Yucheng said: "When the" Patriot Governing Hong Kong "is guaranteed, the political environment in Hong Kong has become positive. All those who participate in public affairs are as President Xi said, consciously the country's fundamental system, and not afraid to choose again.Those who are not patrons, the election method and qualification review mechanism naturally have room for relaxation, but it is difficult to expect to do it within one or two sessions. "
The current Hong Kong District Council will end at the end of the year.The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced a significant reform of the new district council on May 2nd, which has greatly reduced the direct election seats from 90 % to 20 % to prevent radical political positions from entering the parliament.
