Lin Zhuoting: Hong Kong people reflect true public opinion with district elections and peace

Member of the Democratic Party's Legislative Council, Lin Zhuoting, supports the bill. The government's governance team ignores public opinion and only mentions that the results are not due in advance, describing "(the government) as if Mars is turning over Lishui." Lin Zhuoting pointed out that different members of the Diet had warned the government not to push hard to amend the "Fugitive Offenders Ordinance" as early as February and March of this year. There were two anti-revision demonstrations in April and May until 1 million peaceful protests against June 9th. The amendment was equally indifferent, and it was not suspended until someone surrounded the government headquarters.

Lin Zhuoting criticized that the Lin Zheng government not only failed to deal with public grievances for the past month, but also deepened the tears and contradictions in the society. As a result of the current district council elections, Hong Kong people reflected the true public opinion in a peaceful way. In the parliament, he believes that the Lin Zheng government is responsible for its indifference to public opinion, and should fulfill the promise of the chief executive to step down, and set up an independent investigative committee to investigate police law enforcement issues.

Guo Jiaqi, a Citizen Party, supports the bill of malfeasance. He angrily criticized Zhang Jianzong for pretending to be stupid. Political parties have pointed out before June that the revision of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance has caused society to lose confidence in the rule of law. Not the right medicine. Guo Jiaqi pointed out that Lin Zheng's continued appointment as chief executive was a torture of the people of Hong Kong and continued to "grab speculation." Guo Jiaqi also mentioned that during the procession on Sunday, the police used tear gas bombs as a reason for someone to throw smoke cakes, but later changed the word that someone was scratching bricks, and the integrity was questioned.

Every Sunday, street violence and privacy appear, which has caused Hong Kong to fall into the sky. abyss. He also pointed out that the government misleads people ’s sentiment, hindered and felt inadequate political sensitivity in the amendments, but he asked, “What about Mitte ’s misunderstanding?” Liu Yeqiang criticized the popular democratic party for fanning the flames, and used the anti-revisions as a district election chip. Claimed to pay for blood debts, describing the practice as eating bloody gimmicks.

Liu Yeqiang believes that the government has deeply reflected in the incident of amending legislation and absorbed heavy lessons. It believes that an incident cannot obliterate Lin Zheng's decades of efforts. He also praises Lin Zheng for his pragmatic and rich administrative experience. "Slap the grapefruit away" is even more courageous. At the end of his speech, Liu Yeqiang mentioned that the society was disappointed with the housing and land portion of the Policy Address, and the land sharing pilot plan and the use of the Land Resumption Regulation caused controversy. Liu Yeqiang bluntly said: "Chairman, I solemnly declare that if the government thinks that a political party is behind, forcibly expropriating brownfield, private land or urban squatter land in the New Territories, it will again misjudge public opinion, with the opportunity to trigger another disaster "It also means that the practice will cause more tearing, and that deep-seated contradictions cannot be resolved by adding land and houses.

The DAB launched a series of activities in September this year, including high-profile advertisements in newspapers and meetings with Lin Zhengyue, and urged the government to use the Land Resumption Ordinance to free up land for public housing.
