On the afternoon of 201June 19, Hong Kong's "Grand Coalition for Political Reform" launched a rally and procession in support of political reform in Victoria Park. According to the conference, about100000 people attended, and the six football fields in Victoria Park were empty.

People get together to express their attitude.

On the afternoon of June 10, 19, the Victoria Park in Hong Kong was packed with people, and a large-scale rally and procession called "Supporting universal suffrage for political reform" was held here. Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang attended the event and delivered a speech, hoping that legislators would press the "Pass button" on the political reform package four days later.

Donald Tsang, wearing a T-shirt with the word "Anchor" printed on it, and several senior government officials appeared at the rally. Donald Tsang said that getting the political reform package passed was the most important and meaningful work in his 40-year public career. It is a critical point at present. The progress of democracy in Hong Kong depends on good choices. He called on 60 legislators to vote for the future of Hong Kong and the next generation.

The Hong Kong Observatory recorded a high temperature of 365,438+0.5 degrees on that day. Despite the hot weather, the six stadiums in Victoria Park are almost full of people. Some citizens held high placards such as "It is better to move forward than to stop" and "It is better to move forward than to stand still" to express their demands for the passage of the political reform package to Legislative Councillors.

There are only four days before Hong Kong votes on the 20 12 political reform package. Many people attending the rally said that the mainstream public opinion in Hong Kong did not want the political reform to stagnate, but hoped that the political system would move forward and that legislators would vote responsibly.

The assembly and procession were initiated by Hong Kong's "Great Alliance for Political Progress". Zheng Yaotang, the convener of the major league, originally expected that there would be 20,000 people present that day, but the actual number of participants far exceeded expectations. Wong Ting kwong, a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, said that the number of people gathered on that day far exceeded expectations, which showed that Hong Kong people had great expectations for the development of the political system.

20 10 On June 23rd, many groups gathered outside the Legislative Council. In order to prevent the incident of impacting the Legislative Council building, the police have made preparations.

Hundreds of supporters of the political reform package gathered in Chater Garden outside the Legislative Council building, holding up slogans and shouting slogans. They also set up a stage, sang and performed, and supported the reform in a carnival way. The person in charge of the group said that it is expected that the number of people who support the political reform rally after work will exceed 4,000.

On the other side of the Legislative Council building, there is a mass rally against the political reform package. Some college students said that they would not take a radical approach, but the Democratic Party suggested that the time for improving district councils was too hasty and the vote should be postponed.

Official remarks

On June 22, 2065438+00, the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs of Hong Kong, Mr Stephen Lam, said that the Hong Kong Government had decided to introduce the bill to the Legislative Council as scheduled on the 23rd for debate and voting. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen 2 1, announced that the Executive Council had agreed to accept the improvement plan of adding district council seats to the local legislative level. On the same day, the head of the Liaison Office also expressed his active support for the SAR government to adopt the improvement plan in the political reform plan, and was happy to see its success. General party membership meeting, a Democratic Party, also passed the political reform plan proposed by the government.

Donald Tsang has previously said that the political reform package will be a "big step" in the history of Hong Kong's democratic development.

The public supports Hong Kong's 20 12 political reform package.

Donald Tsang, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, delivered a televised speech calling on the public to support the project. Donald Tsang said that the development of Hong Kong's political system has reached a critical stage, and the proposal was based on the Basic Law and the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and fully considered the different opinions collected during the consultation.

Mr Tsang said that this proposal was an improvement over that in the consultation document. Compared with the current election method, it not only broadens the space for political participation, but also improves the democratic component, creating favorable conditions for the 20 17 Chief Executive and the 2020 Legislative Council to implement universal suffrage.

Donald Tsang pointed out, "I understand that Hong Kong is a pluralistic society, and it is not easy to gain the understanding of all sectors on the important issue of political reform. In fact, everyone's goal is the same, that is, we hope that the political system will move forward and universal suffrage will be realized as soon as possible. I firmly believe that whether the plan can be passed depends on everyone's choice: we should choose the political system to move forward instead of standing still; We should choose to seek common ground while reserving differences, rather than disagree; We should choose the overall interests, not just personal gains and losses. We have missed a good opportunity for the political system to move forward in 2005. If we repeat the same mistakes this time, it will not only waste a few more years, but also make the political system stagnate and the society will continue to suffer internal friction because of long-term disputes. "

Donald Tsang said that the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) had set a timetable for universal suffrage in 2007, which gave the green light to universal suffrage in Hong Kong. We should make concerted efforts to pool our knowledge, so that the political reform package can be passed by the Legislative Council, and lay a solid foundation of confidence for implementing the goals of universal suffrage in 20 17 and 2020.
