Clarifying the "subordinate" nature of member organizations of the Vietnam Fatherland Front

Presenting the report on the review of the draft law, Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Society Nguyen Dac Vinh said that the Committee proposed to promptly update the amendments and supplements to the Constitution and related laws to ensure the constitutionality, consistency, synchronization and feasibility of the legal system.

Accordingly, the Committee on Culture and Society requested the drafting agency to specify this content in the Charter of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to ensure "relative independence" in the monitoring and criticism activities of affiliated member organizations.

Ensure that affiliated member organizations can proactively carry out a number of monitoring activities on subjects and contents related to their members and perform the political functions and tasks assigned by the Party and State.

Mr. Vinh also said that there were opinions suggesting that the drafting agency clarify and uniformly stipulate the subjects, contents, and authority of social supervision and criticism in Article 26 and Article 33 of the Law on the Vietnam Fatherland Front to ensure consistency with the position and role of member organizations under the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
