These days, wherever we go, people talk about “revolution” and “innovation”. As an expert feels, it reminds us of the atmosphere of the early years of the renovation period, abandoning bureaucracy and subsidies, shifting to a socialist-oriented market mechanism, a courage and excitement accompanied by the daily worries of anyone: The State abolished ration stamps and rice books, if we “starved to death”, where would we look? And then the results as we see after decades of renovation, today we have such a great “foundation, potential, position and international prestige”. Streamlining the apparatus has now become an order. If renovation brings Vietnam out of poverty and rationing, then “innovation of renovation” will be an opportunity to transform our nation to gradually catch up with the times. But every reform and innovation encounters obstacles. Any revolution requires courage and sacrifice, and here the revolution of streamlining the apparatus first of all requires the exemplary conduct and sacrifice of true communists.

As General Secretary To Lam said in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "Lightness to take off" is the only way to transform! A cumbersome apparatus, with overlapping functions and tasks, many levels, and a large number of people receiving salaries from the budget (70% of the expenditure for the apparatus) not only exhausts the budget, leaving no capital to invest in development, but also causes countless wasteful consequences, discourages domestic and foreign investors, and causes inconvenience and expense for people in their daily lives. Therefore, streamlining the apparatus has now become an order. "Better less but better" as V.Lenin said. But this is an extremely difficult thing, even the most difficult thing in the innovation process because it touches the thoughts, feelings, aspirations and personal interests of each person in the political system. It is truly a revolution because it requires sacrifice. Streamlining will of course lead to reducing the number of focal points and reducing the number of leadership and management positions. It cannot be said that there is no mood when a General Director now becomes a Director, a Chief is reduced to a Deputy, even becomes an ordinary civil servant. Then those who have worked hard and strived for many years, and have been planned now become a fragile hope, that position suddenly becomes far away. Along with that are the spiritual and material benefits, the treatment regime that anyone must care about for the sake of making a living. It is at these times when touching on human interests that the qualities, ethics, and sacrifice of a communist party member are revealed, the exemplary vanguard nature of leaders and heads is required. It must be said frankly that the degradation of political ideology and lifestyle ethics has led to many cadres and party members considering the goal of striving to advance, for personal interests, forgetting the oath to serve the people and the country and to carry out all assignments of the Party and the organization. The image of a lavish and wasteful material life is not lacking in our ranks and some people have paid the price when they were disciplined, even imprisoned. At this time, we need to recall Uncle Ho's teachings, that being a cadre is a servant of the people, all efforts and sacrifices are for the benefit of the people, not to put on airs as "revolutionary officials", to "glorify oneself and one's family". "Fire tests gold, hardship tests strength", at this time, facing the requirements of the apparatus revolution, facing the "gains and losses", we will know who is willing to sacrifice personal interests for the great cause, who is selfish and only cares about his own position. As a communist, one does not mind any difficulties and hardships, cannot calculate and compare, because "whatever is beneficial to the people, one must strive to do" (President Ho's words). Let me repeat the simple but communist spirit saying of Ho Giao, who was twice a Labor Hero, a National Assembly delegate for three consecutive terms (terms 4, 5, 6) but almost all his life was just a cow herding hero: "The revolution is necessary, small and big things. Fighting the Americans, raising cows, everything is precious!". "A woman who has made contributions, her husband will not betray her" Of course, the Party and the State always find solutions to harmonize the common interests and the interests of each person, "The streamlining clearly requires sacrifices, but this time, the humane factor is also raised" (words of General Secretary To Lam). The people never forget the gratitude of those who have contributed and devoted themselves to the common cause, "a woman who has made contributions, her husband will not betray her". The economic growth in recent years has allowed us to gradually have appropriate policies to ensure fairness and ensure legitimate interests for those involved. According to Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, regarding the policy for cadres, civil servants, and public employees when rearranging the organizational apparatus, the Ministry of Home Affairs has completed the draft decree, reported to the Party Committee, the Government's Steering Committee to report to the Politburo in the nearest time, including very important viewpoints and principles. Firstly, to make a revolution, the mechanism and policy must also be revolutionary, requiring speed, strength, prominence, humanity, fairness, ensuring a reasonable general correlation between the subjects to stabilize the lives, rights and interests of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers, so that no one is left behind in the process of streamlining the organizational apparatus of the political system. Secondly, focusing on special and outstanding priorities to encourage subjects to retire immediately, to retire within 12 months from the time the agency or unit organizes the rearrangement according to the decision of the competent authority. Third, policy development is associated with the responsibility of leaders and units in evaluating, screening, and selecting retired cadres, civil servants, and public employees, along with streamlining the payroll and restructuring, and improving the quality of the team to meet requirements and tasks. In particular, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining and retaining good cadres, with capacity and qualities equal to the task, so as not to "brain drain". Never before have we been so determined, and never before have words and actions been so close, "even on Sundays we must continue to carry out our work without stopping" (General Secretary To Lam's words) and now more than ever is the time for communists to demonstrate their sacrifice for the people and the country, so that the country can move into an era of prosperity and well-being.
