Last updated: 2019-12-11 10:34The constitutional faction of the district board election just passed has been defeated. Earlier reports said that the government is gradually meeting with the constitutional faction and revealed that it intends to give some of the elected faction public office, such as different advisory committees, as "consolation awards". Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e yesterday (10th) pointed out that the defeat of the establishment faction had something to do with the government. Apologies were taken for granted, but he did not directly respond to the rumors of "sending public office", but only said that he would not become a stranger because the locals lost their identity. people.
The three constitutionalists were elected as current district councillors attending the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" and admitted that the government did invite the constitutionalists to the Tea House of the Government House next Saturday (21st). It depends on the nature of the specific committee's policy issues, whether it is in line with its expertise and interest.
However, they all agree that the government has already released the perception of "employment only" and "comforting the establishment", making the whole matter at least ineffective in public relations. New Democratic Party District Councilor Gan Wenfeng even pointed out that Lin Zhengyue's apology was not comforting to him: "For the moment, we need comfort."

Gan Wenfeng: No need for chief executive to comfort the government to reflect more important
Participants included Lin Lin, a member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), Huang Yuhan, a member of the Civic Forces, and Gan Wenfeng, a member of the New Democratic Party. All three of them failed to be re-elected in the district election. They all confirmed that the chief executive had invited him to the Government House on the 21st, but did not specify the nature of the meeting, and said that these occasions are actually held every year. Regarding the intention of attendance, Huang Yuhan said that he had no decision, Lin Lin said that he would attend if he was free, and Gan Wenfeng said that he would not attend.
Speaking of the public office referred to in the report, Lin Lin first clarified that most of the advisory committees are unpaid, and whether they should be appointed depends on their personal capabilities. "If the opposition is capable, it should also be appointed." She also said Although the term "consolation award" is not from the chief executive, but from media reports, if the whole thing is interpreted by the outside world as the government wants to compensate the defeated constitutional faction, it is considered "not good." Lin Lin acknowledged that the government has released this perception, thinking that the government must think clearly before speaking.
Huang Yuhan pointed out that the government's real apology is not to the establishment, but to the people of Hong Kong, because the chaos has not subsided to this day. He thinks that this constituency election shows that the local events are no longer the most concerned by the people. The system obviously needs to be reformed. It is also a warning sign to the establishment. Whether to continue to cooperate with the government using the existing model. He believes that the government needs to explain exactly why it is given public office and what functions it expects to play. For example, he has more expertise in environmental protection and can serve in this area. Otherwise, the outside world, especially the non-formal camps, easily feel that the government is letting people "hang enough" in the community and arrange for them to make a comeback in the next term.
Gan Wenfeng believes that the current government needs to communicate more with the elected candidates than with the newly elected candidates to understand what is happening behind them. He also pointed out that Lin Zheng ’s apology had no comfort to him: "I do n’t think it ’s necessary for me (constitutional). I went to the street to see Ban Kaifang after my own election, and he encouraged me. It is enough comfort. "He believes that it is not important whether the chief executive apologizes to him. The point is whether there is a deep reflection on why the establishment faction will lose, otherwise they lose no value.
Gan Wenfeng believes that without the comfort of the chief executive, the encouragement of the neighborhood is enough. (Fan picture of Gan Wenfeng's page)
None of the three resisted independent investigations but feared "too slow"
Speaking of the current public's consensus on independent investigations, Gan Wenfeng believes that this is one of the feasible methods. I believe that the Chief Executive already knows, but it is clear that her response in recent months has been "relatively slow." He believes that district elections have led to a change in the political landscape, and the government should take this opportunity to reflect on what needs to be followed up, or it will waste this opportunity.
Huang Yuhan believes that when the streets continue to scream the "five major demands", the government is still saying "independent review committees" and should reflect on whether the public will accept them. He agrees that independent investigation is a "good direction", but pay attention to time. If the investigation is too slow, "can society tolerate several years of turmoil?" Lin Lin said that personally think that independent investigation must be "completely conducted", but believe that This will not come to fruition anytime soon, but there are certain things the government can do quickly, depending on how determined the government is in solving the problem.
I think that the communication between the chief executive and the people is as bad as possible.
As for the Chief Executive's Office's consideration of eliminating the question and answer session of the Legislative Council, Gan Wenfeng believes that communication is important at all times. Lin Zheng no longer held dialogues on the grounds of "social atmosphere", but in fact, communication for people doing political work is not a right but a right Responsibility, no matter how bad the situation is, communicate as much as possible. He also pointed out that in the election earlier, the establishment faction faced a worse environment than her, "He Junyao District, I quarantine Tim, and the people of the city" assault "Tim, and I want to fall." Gan Wenfeng even pointed out that the social situation is not a reason. The identity of the chief executive is to understand the public sentiment, otherwise "it is necessary to be suitable for the job."
