“Up and down, unanimously, horizontally and vertically”
At the 5th plenum of the 13th Central Committee, the Party Central Committee discussed and agreed on the policy of establishing a provincial Steering Committee on anti-corruption and anti-corruption. new.
The Provincial Steering Committee on anti-corruption and anti-corruption can also be seen as an “extension arm of the Central Government” in order to promptly solve outstanding and long-standing problems that cause public outrage. locally. This is a necessary, right and suitable job for the actual situation and contributes to strengthening the leadership, directing the implementation of drastic and synchronous implementation from central to local levels, creating positive changes. , to be stronger in the work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity of the entire Party, people and army in accordance with the spirit of “above and below, unanimity, horizontal and vertical”.

In which affirms, the fight against corruption and negativity is “a necessary, inevitable, and irreversible trend” but also a very difficult, complicated and “impossible” task. just do it once and you’re done; on the contrary, must do very resolutely, persistently, persistently; do it regularly, continuously; Do it over and over again, such as brushing your teeth, washing your face every day.”
To do this requires “great determination, very high unity, drastic and feasible implementation measures, strict direction with a correct, sober, calm thinking method, do not be extreme, do not let bad forces take advantage, distort, incite and destroy”. From there, set out tasks and solutions towards the goal of “can’t”, “don’t dare”, “don’t want”, “don’t need” corruption and negativity.
