Ou Nuoxuan scolded: Violating democratic principles
Ou Nuoxuan, a former Legislative Council member who coordinated the primary elections of the democrats, criticized that if the government decided to postpone the election for one year, it would obviously violate democratic principles. He pointed out that regardless of the severity of the epidemic, it directly decided to postpone the election for one year. It is an "excessive" approach. Ou Nuoxuan believes that the public can accept a short-term postponement of the election, but they will not accept the postponement of the election for one year. This will denounce the practice of affecting the fairness and fairness of the election, and will also cause the international community to question the democratic situation in Hong Kong and worry about the emergence of a "ten thousand years of national generation" in Hong Kong. .
Ou Nuoxuan continued that regular elections by the government are one of the democratic principles, and there will be many livelihood issues that will need to be handled by the parliament in the coming year. The Chief Executive will convene special meetings to handle parliamentary affairs without following procedures.
