The sixth Macau special election will be held on Sunday (October 13). The candidate is only one of the former Court of Final Audit Court Cen Haohui.
In September, he received 383 nomination votes, accounting for 96%of 400 election committees, the highest in over the years.A number of traditional communities issued a statement to support Cen Haohui for the election. After answering the conference of the Political Politics, some election committees also believed that Cen Haohui was "grounded" and was full of confidence in its administration.
Macau Special has never been surprised -except for the first two candidates in the first session of 1999, only one of the other five sessions ran for election.The outside world believes that each candidate represents the expectations and orientation of Macau governance.
I visited Macau scholars, observer and parliamentarians to sort out the five major points of this election.
Non -local -born and without business background
Cen Haohui is 62 years old. Compared with the three chief executives of previous chief executives, he has a stronger color in mainland China.He was born in Zhongshan, Guangdong in 1962, studied at Beijing University, and he was a lawyer in Guangzhou for a short time.In 1986, after the 24 -year -old Cen Haohui moved to Macau, he went to the University of COIMBRA to study language and law through public recruitment, and then spoke fluent Portuguese.
1993, after two years back to Australia, he became one of the first court judicial counselors.After Macau's sovereignty was transferred in 1999, he was appointed as the President of the Court of Final Appeal for 25 years, when Cen Nian was only 37 years old.
I visited Jinxin, a former direct election of the Macau Democratic School. He pointed out that before the transfer of sovereignty, he had carefully selected the Governance of the Australian team that was called "Thirteen Pacific Insurance" by the political circle and trained them to assist Macau's operation.One of them.However, the background of Cen Fei's local birth did not cause controversy in society.At a press conference to announce the election, Cen refers to his "three generations in Macau" and believes that the Macau people will agree that he is "old Macau".
In addition to the birthplace, Cen Haohui also has no business background.Earlier, He Houzheng and Cui Shi'an were all three major families in Macau; He Yicheng's father He Tian was a mainland Chinese industrialist.
Cui Zizhao, a media person in Macau, said that many of the chief executives from the past business community will be involved in the disputes between government and business collusion and transportation."There are even rumors that He Yicheng cannot be re -elected this time, and it has something to do with some interest transportation." The media is currently unable to verify the matter independently.
However, He Yicheng did provoke the accusations of employers.In September 2022, he nominated his daughter He Kaiqi and his son He Jiandong, a member of the Youth Affairs Committee and a member of the Trust Committee of the Science and Technology Development Fund.At that time, Gao Tianci, a member of the Legislative Council, issued a post on social media, "In the future, he will need to appoint grandson, children, etc." In the future, ... "The posts have received thousands of reactions, and more than 500 leaves will leave a message.
Cui Zizhao described that such people are more reliable."Although they (merchants) often claim to be patriotic love Australia, they are an institutionalist, but they may actually worry about local people
Cen Ren has dealt with many major or controversial cases in Macau, including the former Director of the Department of Transport and former Attorney General He Chaoming's corruption.In 2021, he also rejected the police for banning the "June Fourth Candlelight Gala" and the revocation of the qualification appeal of the democratic school for the "June 4th Candle Light Party".In 2019, when Cen Haohui was interviewed by China News Network, he stated that the judicial organs' visual protection of the "one country, two systems" were effective in the mission. "Without the" one country ", the constitutional arrangements of the entire country, two systems will be impacted."
"Integrate into the overall situation of the country" first entered the political platform
The governance attitude of this future chief executive can be understood from his political platform.
Cen Haohui's political platform is divided into five major directions, including improving public governance capabilities and the level of governance, accelerating the promotion of moderate diversified economic development, better integration and serving the overall situation of national development, improving the teaching talent system, guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood.It is worth noting that compared with Cui Shi'an, He Yicheng, and even Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao, Cen Haohui is the first person to write "integrate into the overall national development situation" into the political platform.
This sentence can go back to the speech delivered by the Hong Kong and Macau delegations in Beijing in 2018.At that time, he first mentioned that Hong Kong and Macau must actively integrate into the overall national development situation, describing this as the "deserved meaning" under one country, two systems.This point was later written into the 14th Five -Year Plan of China.The outline mentioned that Macau must become a world tourism and leisure center, expand the Sino -Portuguese cooperation platform, and at the same time build Hengqin and the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, and strengthen the constitution and national conditions education.
The Fourteenth Five -Year Planning Outline is the vane of the direction of China's policy direction.According to Yang Mingyu, assistant professor of the University of Macau's government and the Department of Public Administration, the part of Hong Kong and Macau is a instructions given to the Chief Executive in Hong Kong and Macao. If the Chief Executive understands it, "you should know what you are doing ()."
Among the 40 pages of Cen Haohui, the first four contents of the five o'clock administrative ideas involve the above -mentioned central requirements.
Yang Mingyu said that it is relatively different from the previous leader's governance. "He clearly states that Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan want to serve national interests."From Cen Haohui's public statement after the election, Yang Mingyu believes that Cen understands "what the central government wants him to do", and the idea of his political platform is "very, very clear".
Cen Haohui's lack of experience in administrative management has become a doubt about whether Macau's society can be competent.Yang Mingyu believes that for the central government, the administrative ability of the belonging is not necessarily the key. "It is the first to consider the first first. I believe it or not, and the second can you understand my intention."He believes that He Yicheng's performance "should be unqualified" to be changed.
As for the implementation and results, Yang Mingyu said that it takes time to observe Cen Haohui's future team and his approach.
disappearing opposition
In July 2021, when the Legislative Council election was less than two months old, Macau experienced the first Parliament DQ incident.The Election Commission has disqualified six groups for the "Failure to Protect the Basic Law and SARs", including then 21 people's candidates for election, including then member Wu Guochang and Su Jiahao.Since then, Macau's political circles have been accused of no democracy.
In fact, there are only three democratic members at the highest peak of the Macau Parliament, and they have been regarded as a spear of public opinion.Without the governance of democracy and opposition, will the new special head be easier or more difficult to make the pulse public opinion?
Cui Zizhao observed that after no opposition, the question of the parliament's political inquiry was "weaker."He pointed out that most of the problems or people in society now are the first to make public opinion in the Internet group to make public opinion, and the government has pressure to do things. "The establishment factions often follow up afterwards.
In the era of no opposition at all, Cui Zizhao described Cen Haohui to enter a period of "full governance". Although it can be more smooth in governance, he expressed doubts about whether he can master the public opinion.
"When He Yicheng was running before, he met with different groups, and he met with democratic groups, but when you saw Cen Haohui, he did not meet with democratic groups.... So can you see from his attitude really willing to listen to public opinion?
Non -establishment faction and current Legislative Councilor Lin YuTao said that he had met Cen Haohui as the Legislative Council Election Commission, but when he was the chairman of him as the chairman, the Chuan -New Macau Association was invited to meet Cen, and he received the campaign team to reply to "time arrangement."But he believes that he will have the opportunity to express his opinions to the new special first in the future.
Lin Yutao believes that it is impossible for any government to be completely out of public opinion, and how to hear the real public opinion, look at the leadership style and mind of the Chief Executive.During the campaign period, Cen Haohui held a 400 -person public listening and three times, and believed that it would help himself to "in -depth understanding of the overall situation of society".
benefits and accountability
The last point of the governance concept of Cen Haohui's political platform refers to "guarantee and improve people's livelihood".Among them, the top ten points are listed, covering employment, medical, housing, transportation, and even ecology.However, Lin Yutao believes that the political platform only puts forward the general direction and rarely gives specific measures.He also believes that the political platform is not from the hands of Cen Haohui. "It is written by the team", "I don't think the team has not got some substantial solutions."
Lin Yutao's daily contact with the citizens believes that the public pays attention to the election, but because there is no direct voting right, it will have a certain distance to the Chief Executive.For the new government, he believes that Volkswagen expects to "find some new changes."
"Welfare" is the most concerned about citizens.For example, Lin Yutao was affected by the epidemic in the past. The government had a deficit budget. It has stopped injection of capital accounts from the central provident fund of permanent residents for three consecutive years."If from ordinary citizens, (they) are very concerned about the chief executive of this election, will he (chief executive) ensure that the existing welfare system can continue."
In Macau, permanent residents who are 22 years old only need to be over 183 days in Macau in one year.EssenceAfter that, each fiscal year, if the government has surplus, it will be transferred to 7,000 yuan in hukou.
In addition, improving the accountability system is also the expectations of citizens.Cen Haohui's political platform mentioned that "adhere to‘ to be responsible, responsible for responsibility, and losses must be investigated ”, and study and improve the official accountability system.Lin Yutao bluntly stated that the executive official's accountability system "has actually spoken for many years", but the government has not implemented it.
In 2017, the strong typhoon "Tiange" attacked Australia. The Macau Meteorological Administration was approved in the incident to report late, and eventually caused more than 200 deaths to hurt.The last director of the Meteorological Bureau Feng Ruiquan resigned himself by himself, and no other officials were held accountable.In addition, at the end of the epidemic last year, no officials have been held responsible for the issue of prevention of epidemic prevention or treatment.
Lin Yutao believes that the current government does not attach importance to the supervision and positioning of the Legislative Council.As for how the new government handles the problem and can organize a team with a professional, visual, and executive team to make administration, "I wait and see."
In the next five years, Macau may be more integrated with China
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Macau's sovereignty transfer.The promise of "50 years" has reached half, and Macau has changed the tradition. Former judges are appointed Chief Executives. Some theoreticals believe that this will help Macau to rebuild the image of clean integrity.But at the same time, there is also a sound guess that the purpose is to accelerate the integration of the legal system between the two places in the rest of the day.
In this regard, Yang Mingyu does not think the central government intends to do it.He said that the central government has always been viewed Macau on the premise of national interests. "But at this time, the content of national interests has changed."He mentioned that "Chinese -style modernization" was proposed two years ago, and the focus of the content is to reorganize global order.In this direction, the central government believes that Macau "can do something" in this area and will send tasks.
Yang Mingyu said that the Macao people have lived "so comfortable" in the past ten years because there is a "formula for life victory" in Macau: "15 years of free education in Macau, no need to study hard, you can graduate, and then I am very easyHe is a civil servant, and then he is a civil servant, and (becomes) a victory group in life.In the visible future, young people are unavoidable to face more competition.
Cui Zizhao also believes that Macau will be more integrated with China in the next five years.He mentioned that in the early years of Macau's gambling industry, the central government's rectification of the gambling industry was to strengthen the control of Macau's development. When the influence of gambling decreased, Macau's development of more industries required China's support and help.In his opinion, the "two systems" in the future are just a functional role and difference.
As for Hong Kong's own economic scale and industrial structure is relatively independent and perfect, it may not need to emphasize the integration of the country's development, but he said, "Macau may do a demonstration first.
