On January 5, an incident occurred in Fengjie, Chongqing, where “village cadres hard-core ordered the banquet to commemorate the golden wedding to be stopped”, which attracted attention and discussion on the Internet.

Upstream News·Chongqing Morning News found that the "village cadres" were actually township cadres on duty. The local government staged a "hard-core stoppage" out of considerations such as rectifying illicit drinking and epidemic prevention and control.

The reporter combed through and found that the focus of discussion was not only "drinking without incident", but also the "hard core" content of cadres' propaganda.

In the incident, township cadres hard-core stopped the golden wedding banquet

At 16:44 on January 5, Jiangsu Radio and Television Station’s official Weibo "Lizhi News" published an article Incident in Fengjie, Chongqing: Village cadres hard-core stopped the golden wedding anniversary banquet. This is a "nothing banquet" and no one can participate.

Lizhi News stated that it has contacted the local propaganda department, and the staff said that the local area has been vigorously combating "unsafe wine" for many years, and during the epidemic, such gatherings are unsafe.

On the night of January 5, Upstream News found on the official website of the Fengjie County People’s Government that the “Department Street” column of the official website published a report titled “Qinglian Town: Successfully Dissuaded from Drinking Together”, which was about this. thing.

On January 2, the Qinglian Town Government received reports from the masses that Mr. and Mrs. Peng of Baota Village organized a "50 Golden Wedding" without incident. The leader on duty in the town immediately led the on-duty staff and village cadres to the scene to dissuade and stop the incident. According to the report, it was the township leader on duty who made the announcement.

The reporter learned of a 1 minute and 38 seconds live video. The video showed that a red stage had been set up in front of a private house and a red carpet was rolled out to celebrate the "golden wedding". A man in black picked up the The microphone was prepared for the golden wedding celebration and a "hardcore" speech was delivered on the spot.

The shouter said that this (golden wedding banquet) is an "event-free" banquet. Except for the head of the household and his family, no one else can participate. Those who do not listen to the dissuasion will have their subsistence allowance and pension benefits cancelled, and they will not be able to participate. Enjoy some preferential policies.

The reporter saw that there were many villagers watching the scene. Some were standing in the dam, and some were standing on the road outside the dam, discussing in low voices (because the cadres were speaking with microphones). Some people are watching and some are leaving. The caller even told those who came to help that if they did not leave, their "New Era Civilization Points" would be deducted.

On January 6, the reporter contacted the person in charge of Pagoda Village, who said that the golden wedding banquet was organized by the 70-year-old couple themselves. The local government has taken great measures to curb banquet banquets, and all banquets must be reported to the village committee. This banquet was also declared, because it was not approved because it was a banquet without banquets. However, the person involved insisted on doing it, and this happened.

The person in charge also said that as for "cancellation" of subsistence allowances or pensions, it is called "suspension" to be precise. Regarding this, the reporter contacted the relevant departments of Fengjie County and Qinglian Town, but the other parties declined the interview.

Should the discussion be stopped? Is it too hardcore?

The reporter found that the preset topic on Weibo was "Should drinking without incident be stopped?" Later, everyone's focus also fell on another point: whether the cadres' actions were appropriate, " Is "hardcore" too much?

As for the topic "Should drinking without incident be stopped?", the vast majority of netizens agreed that "it should be stopped." Netizen "Eddielily" said that being human doesn't mean you won't go if you don't want to go. Many adults have no choice but to go because they are bound by reason. It's simply "should, but can't", which is a lot of helplessness.

A report on the official website of the Fengjie County People’s Government stated that “the villagers who came to have a drink at the scene were all persuaded to go home by the staff. Many villagers said: It was completely helpless to have a drink. Thanks to the party committee and government, the situation has been taken care of.” The atmosphere of our village." However, the content of the slogan "cannot enjoy subsistence allowances and pensions" has triggered continued discussions among netizens because it is too "hardcore".

The reporter sorted it out and found that there are roughly three factions: supporters, neutralists, and skeptics.

Among them, those who support the situation said they support this method of handling the problem. Strong medicine is needed for stubborn diseases. Although the words of the village cadres are "hard", they are indeed doing things seriously.

The centrists said that this matter should be looked at comprehensively and seriously. It is necessary to effectively stop illegal drinking and abide by the law. If "hardcore" places violate the law, it should be corrected.

As for the skeptics, they mainly focus on "whether it is illegal to cancel the subsistence allowance and pension."

For this question, the reporter also consulted a lawyer from Chongqing Yuwan Law Firm Chen Jicai said that this may indeed be the case in some areas. But the cadres claim that it is legally inappropriate to cancel the subsistence allowance and benefits for poor households without canceling the free alcohol.

Dibao is the minimum living security. It is a kind of social security provided by the government to poor households with difficulties in living. It is a right granted to poor households in accordance with the Social Security Law and other relevant regulations. For relevant departments It's said to be an obligation. In cities, it is the civil affairs department or neighborhood committee, and in rural areas, it is the village committee or the department responsible for civil affairs in the township. If a qualified poor household applies and the relevant departments do not handle it in accordance with the law or delay it, the poor household can also file an administrative lawsuit as a counterparty, which is also stipulated in the Administrative Litigation Law.

Lawyer Chen also said that in some areas there is indeed a phenomenon of drinking without having to do anything, and the people have suffered greatly from it. Drinking without having to do anything has almost become a bad custom, and it is necessary to change the customs. But from a legal point of view, after all, there are no laws and regulations regulating it. Even if the county government has issued relevant documents to strictly prohibit it, as long as it has not been upgraded to autonomy regulations or separate regulations (ethnic autonomous areas can formulate autonomy regulations or regulations because of special customs) single-line regulation), it is not enforceable. We cannot rely on cadres to say that if we do not abolish the policy of drinking alcohol, we will cancel the subsistence allowances for poor households. It is okay if the cadres are trying to scare people who are doing nothing but drinking, but other methods can also be used.

Netizens are hotly discussing gt;gt;questioning faction

@我是水瓜 PieUncle: Although it is for the epidemic, why is it legal to threaten to cancel pensions?

@东大富贵: It’s so disgusting. The treatment you deserve is canceled just because you attend a banquet? If you didn’t stop it earlier? Would the village cadres know about this kind of banquet in the same village?

@ Seventeen Paintings Sketch: Off topic, I would like to ask if these words are used to stop and the content mentioned involves any illegality?

Neutral faction

@kaslourskas: It’s just a scare, village cadres have no way to stop their pensions

@太美的 promisebecause they are too young_: Don’t take it seriously , this is just a way of saying by the village cadres to tell them not to drink. To scare them.

@头vera: The village cadres are taking care of it seriously. In order to prevent the epidemic and change customs, the content of the verbal propaganda will definitely not be canceled easily. But this kind of powerless "threat" is not also because of Simple persuasion has little effect!

@娲得 fierce出calculated Fighting Cock Master: It’s okay to support not allowing the establishment of liquor stores, but pension insurance and subsistence allowances are the basic national policy of our country. How dare you, the village party secretary, just stop it? What I shouldn’t say is that if someone kills someone and breaks the law, you don’t have the right to stop it. This in itself is an illegal act that knows the law and breaks the law

support the faction

@一老公Oh: The state’s subsistence allowances and pensions are not given as favors, and I remember that there are corresponding policy documents and regulations.

@nucleon-: Yeah. The ban on "unintentional drinking" is mainly to prohibit banquets held for the purpose of making money and for random reasons. It is to combat this unhealthy trend. This is something that started a long time ago. Of course, in recent years, the prohibition Unnecessary gatherings also have a positive effect.

@wo’s face is bigger than a steamed bun: I support this method of treatment! There are too many people hosting the banquet...
