Last updated: 2019-12-10 16:40The formation faction was defeated in the district council elections, and a large number of district councillors became "victims" under the storm of anti-revision legislation. Politics stopped at any time. Chief Executive Lin Zhengyue met with the candidates of the Federation of Trade Unions yesterday. In addition to apologizing in person, some officials will also distribute the public office as a "consolation award" to the losers to maintain their social influence.
However, Lin Zhengyue's "goodwill" may not be accepted by everyone. Member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), questioned that the government should appoint different people to hold public office according to its ability, instead of "sending you" if it loses the election. Lu Songxiong, a member of the fallen Federation of Trade Unions, also said that the public office of the committee cannot replace the status of a member of parliament.

Did Lin Zheng apologize for being "meaningless"
Lin Lin won the reelection of Tsuen Wan District Councillor in the current election, losing 1700 votes to Yi Chengcong, a newcomer to the Democratic Party. His eight-year parliamentary life is about to end. Lin Lin said that yesterday she received an invitation from the government to attend a meeting of district council members next Saturday. She is temporarily inclined to attend the meeting. She hopes to reflect on the issues of local people ’s livelihood. . "
Lin Lin said that whether Lin Zheng would apologize to the establishment was "meaningless". The most important thing was that the government "acted and did it." Do it in all 18 districts. "
Regarding Lin Zheng intending to distribute public office as a "consolation award" to the unsuccessful establishment, such as Lin Lin, a member of the Youth Development Committee, said that the appointment of public office should be based on personal qualifications and experience. "If it is a consolation award, it is an insult to me. The institutionalists! "She believes that the" Consolation Award "is not Lin Zheng's statement, but it is uncomfortable. She also said that the government should reform the public appointment system and kick out some members with low attendance.
Lin Lin believes that appointing a public office to the losers may allow them to maintain their influence in the political circle, but it has no effect on the residents, because the status of a parliamentarian is the most effective to assist residents in handling district work.
Lin Zheng acknowledges that the defeat of the formed district elections is related to the government: it will not change the rumors that no strangers will be sent to public office

Lu Songxiong: The seat is irreplaceable and is not considered a "consolation award" for public office
In response to "Hong Kong 01", Lu Songxiong, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and defeated in the Tianheng District of Yuen Long, said that current party members have different opinions on the government's approach. He personally thinks that the seats are "no substitute". It has nothing to do with some government advisory committees. The content is fundamentally different, so he would not use the "consolation award" to describe these public positions. Of course, he does not rule out that some party friends may think that as long as it is an opportunity to serve the public, different positions are willing to try.
Lu Songxiong mentioned that from the response of Lin Zhengyue today, she felt that her apology was sincere, but she could not see what she could do for the time being. As for how the government can help the establishment in the future? Lu Songxiong said that party members also need to consult to see if there is a consensus: "Sometimes you (the government) want to help, but the way of help must not be me, you want it."
