The Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee (VFF CC) has garnered
eight million opinions from people of all walks of life commenting on
the draft amendments to the 1992 Constitution since the poll was
launched.
VFF CC Chairman Huynh Dam handed over a
report summing up the opinions to the Committee on drafting amendments
to the 1992 Constitution at a ceremony in Hanoi on April 1.
Dam said the opinions reflect people’s keen interest in amending the
1992 Constitution to make it that of people that reflect their will and
aspirations.
People of all strata, from intellectuals, heads of
ethnic groups and religious dignitaries to overseas Vietnamese, have
contributed their whole-hearted, constructive, thoughtful opinions to
the draft, he added.
National Assembly Vice Chairman
Uong Chu Luu, who is also deputy head of the committee on drafting
amendments to the 1992 Constitution, said the entire people have
brainstormed as many opinions as possible to serve the nation’s renewal
and development.
In the time to come, the VFF and
its affiliates should collaborate with authorities at all levels to
collect more public opinions on the draft before it is adopted by the
National Assembly, Luu said.
He said his committee
will instruct the compiling board to meticulously study these opinions
to come up with complete amendments to the 1992 Constitution.
The
draft revisions to the 1992 Constitution were first made public on
January 2 for public feedback in line with Resolution 38/2012/QH13
adopted by the National Assembly on November 23, 2012.
The Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee also
issued a directive highlighting the importance of collecting opinions
from people of all strata on the draft amendments to the 1992
Constitution.
Directive 22-CT/TW,
which was signed for issuance by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu
Trong on December 28, states that this is an important political
activity of the entire Party, people and political system.
It
aims to promote the right of mastery, brainpower and aspirations of
people of all strata as well as the administration at all levels and all
sectors, to contribute to building Vietnam into a law-governed
socialist country of, by and for the people.-VNA
