Yu Huiming, Chairman of the Staff Front of the Hospital Authority, and Jiang Minzheng, a member of the North District District Council, went to the Government Headquarters today (25) to register for the next Legislative Council general election. They will compete in the health service sector and the education sector respectively.

Yu Huiming believes that members of the functional constituencies need to face the people of Hong Kong like directly elected members, and they cannot only represent the interests of the industry. If the budget again bundles the purchase of water cannons and the increase in medical funding, it is not hoped that there will be any members because of the industry. The phenomenon of voting in favor of the interests has happened again. Jiang Minzheng pointed out that the education sector is in a critical period of survival under the pressure of the National Security Law. He believes that co-workers will no longer only consider the interests of the industry, but will fight together with Hong Kong people.

Both Jiang Minzheng and Yu Huiming said they would not sign the confirmation letter. Yu Huiming pointed out that whether the government cancels the qualifications of candidates does not depend on whether the candidates have signed a confirmation letter, but on whether the candidates have a sense of resistance. When asked whether Plan B candidates will be selected for election, Yu only said that "every candidate will be prepared." Yu Huiming also believes that functional constituency elections are indispensable for opposing the budget and triggering a constitutional crisis. He is happy to see those who have the will to fight participate in the election.

Recently, some establishments proposed to postpone the election. Yu Huiming responded by saying that after the early democratic primary elections, there were no groups infected by queuing. Instead, there were groups attending the return celebration dinner. He believed that as long as the elections are adequately preventive measures , Such as maintaining social distancing and distributing alcoholic handrubs, etc., the election can continue. It also points out that foreign countries also continue to vote under the epidemic.

Jiang Minzheng, who participated in the education sector, believes that the past model of consultation between the Education Association and the government is difficult to work, so he will adopt an aggressive attitude and stand up to all education issues. He also gave examples of moving motions in five district councils to request the establishment. Educational Professional Council. Faced with the election of members of the Educational Association and the Educational Federation, Jiang said that voters are eligible to choose among the local, pan-democratic, and institutional camps. When asked whether he and the Association of Education would split the votes, he pointed out that the Association of Education would refuse to hold the primary election. If the Association of Education is profiting, the Association of Education should bear the greatest responsibility.

However, he believes that the dissatisfaction of the co-workers with the CCP after experiencing the anti-transmission movement is unprecedented. Therefore, he will not vote for the Educational Federation. However, if the Educational Federation wins, it is necessary to recognize the fact that voters in the education sector have this political orientation.
