Understanding the people's hearts...

Three days earlier, chairing the meeting of the Government Steering Committee on summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TU on the implementation of the Central Steering Committee's Plan on the implementation of the arrangement and merger of provincial and communal administrative units and the construction of a two-level political system at the local level, Politburo member and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also requested "priority for surplus facilities for healthcare, education, culture, serving public and public purposes". Thus, in less than a week, the highest leaders of the Party and Government have made statements of sympathy and deep sharing with the people's lives!

For parents with children going to school, every meal and every tuition fee "needs to be carefully calculated" and is a "burden" to take care of their children. The whole country has just been delighted with the decision of the Politburo to exempt all tuition fees for students from kindergarten to high school nationwide, starting from the new school year 2025-2026. Now, it is even more excited when the head of the Party suggests that the Capital should set an example of "supporting" parents in providing additional meals for students in the area. The suggestion for the Capital is specific, but more broadly, it is a suggestion for all localities across the country: What can be done better to take care of future generations? What can be done more specifically to reduce the burden on the people?

Not only is it a matter of education, for each person, health must also be taken care of every day. Looking at hospitals, everywhere is overloaded, patients lack beds for treatment, so where can those who accompany them to take care of them get beds instead of lying in the hallways or on stone benches? Treatment and care still lack doctors, so it is inevitable to stand in line, waiting wearily for tests and examinations. Coming from the countryside to the distant city, waiting like that, where can you eat and sleep to avoid being miserable?

Children lacking schools, sick people crowded for treatment, that is something no one can bear! Yet, everywhere there are buildings, headquarters 5 years, 10 years, or even more after merging, downsizing… left empty, degraded and forgotten. It is extremely painful to look at but when asked… no one answers, no one stands up to take responsibility!

Despite the consensus and strong support for the revolution to streamline the administrative apparatus from the central to local levels, many voters and people are worried: With the apparatus reduced, what will the surplus headquarters be used for or will they be abandoned and moldy? With the statements of the Party and Government leaders mentioned above, it can be seen that the voters' concerns have reached those with the highest responsibility.

The Party and Government leaders have been sharing the concerns of voters and people; and more than that, they have quickly and decisively given specific directions to completely resolve many concerns at the same time: Prioritizing the use of surplus headquarters to partially overcome the shortage of schools, lack of medical facilities, lack of places for sports and cultural activities. And thus, not only will the situation of surplus headquarters being abandoned after the arrangement be put to an end, but the headquarters that have been "forgotten" for so long will also be "revived" with clear and specific instructions and suggestions.

Speaking at the National Conference to disseminate and implement the Resolution of the Eleventh Central Conference (13th tenure) on April 16, General Secretary To Lam once again emphasized: "In the spirit of "running and lining up at the same time", but doing this work must take into account other related work". Streamlining the apparatus means having surplus headquarters and workplaces and immediately putting these surplus headquarters and workplaces to solve the pressing issues regarding places to eat, study, and receive medical treatment, truly meeting the aspirations and feelings of voters and people, truly understanding the hearts of the people!
