The chairmen and deputy chairmen of the 18 District Councils were invited by Chen Maobo to the Government Headquarters to attend the Budget Consultation today. The 17 districts headed by members of the Democratic District Council, except for the Tsuen Wan District which was unable to attend due to a meeting. Representatives were sent to participate. The chairpersons and vice-chairmen of a large number of people ’s conferences met the media before the meeting, saying that because they each came from a different political party, they believed that the rich man had received suggestions from the parties in the past, so they will focus on putting forward the consensus opinions of the 17 districts today.
The chairman of the New League Saigon District Council, Zhong Jinlin, pointed out that the results of the district elections reflect the citizens' adherence to the "five major demands", empowering the district associations to strengthen local administration and bring new vision to the community. Regarding the recent departure of government officials at the District Council meeting, Zhong Jinlin was worried that the government would "shadow" the district conference and shorten its functions in the long run. Therefore, he would propose that the District Council Secretariat be sent from the original Home Affairs Department. Instead, the establishment of an independent district council secretariat will enable district councillors to make better use of the powers conferred by the District Councils Ordinance and prevent the government from using administrative measures to suppress them. As the public's interest in conferences is increasing, democrats will also propose to allocate more resources for RTHK to broadcast district board meetings to increase the transparency of conferences.
Chairman of the Wan Chai District Council, Yang Xueying, stated that he would raise political-related demands, and also pointed out that the government's political issues could not be dealt with politically, and it should be responsible for the anti-revision movement.

Tear Gas Residue Index. Yang Xueying also questioned that if the police were so out of control, adding an electric gun to the police force would pose a life threat to the public and would be reflected to Chen Maobo.
Yang Xueying believed that the meeting left her with a deep impression that the government was not ready to cooperate with the conference. She wondered why the content of the meeting could not be made public and questioned the government's fear of facing public opinion. (Photo by Lu Yiming)
Promote additional regional resources
At present, the authorities use the District Minor Works Programme and the Community Participation Programme to allocate funds to the conference for different activities and projects. However, in the absence of resources, the relevant funds must be used for some long-term expenditures, such as hiring Secretariat staff and constant maintenance. The huge expenditure of LCSD facilities and other facilities makes it impossible for the conferences to flexibly and flexibly fund innovative district-led projects. Democrats have suggested that the government maintain the level of funding and even increase resources, and re-launch the "Community Key Project Plan" in response to community needs.
In addition, regarding the issue of sugar distribution that the citizens care about, the democrats believe that the government has always neglected the needs of the middle class and young people, and asked the whole people to send 10,000 yuan, while saving the application time and administrative costs; a small venture capital fund should also be set up to support young people Start a business.
