After the democrats resigned, the parliamentary situation changed drastically, and the relationship between the establishment and the government also experienced subtle changes.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced in the "Policy Address" to withdraw all the personnel establishment proposals that are awaiting approval, commonly known as "open positions", objectively enabling the controversial "Lantau Tomorrow" preliminary research funding to begin deliberation earlier, and also responded to the requests of the establishment , So as not to constantly invite people to bring negative impressions in the epidemic city.
However, the DAB Chen Keqin and the New Democratic Party Ye Liu Shuyi yesterday (27) questioned whether the government would "fight Maobo". It was just a "false withdrawal" in form. In fact, all relevant funding will be put into next year. The Budget was passed.
Some people in the establishment have pointed out that the government has repeatedly said that the economic gap is to reduce expenditures, but it keeps asking for positions. They are worried that if the proposal for opening positions is bundled with the budget, the establishment will "hard food" in disguise.
Two-dollar car discount event "Ji Hua" establishment
Before the resignation of the General People's Republic of China, many lawmakers opposed the increase of permanent government posts and criticized many companies in the society facing layoffs. It is unreasonable for the government to do the opposite.
The opposition of the establishment is not weak. One of the reasons is that the government planned to re-examine the proposal to lower the two-dollar ride concession to the 60-year-old threshold, saying that after a few years, the government's recurrent expenditure has increased to nearly 10 billion yuan. A group of establishments that have successfully fought for, as a result, at the Finance Committee in October, the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau was forced to withdraw the application for the conversion of two supernumerary posts to permanent posts, and then the Environment Bureau also withdrew the "open positions." project.
Some establishments really need to be established: not everything is opposed
According to reports, when the leaders of the various sectors of the establishment met with Lam Cheng last week, they also asked to review the funding for opening positions. In particular, directorate positions are all high-paid staff and should not be opened in such an economic environment.
In the end, Carrie Lam also "followed good faith" in the "Policy Address", stating that in response to the concerns of Legislative Council members, he decided to withdraw all the staffing proposals pending approval.
However, some organizations have pointed out that certain positions are indeed needed, including the head of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, who is responsible for strengthening the safety regulation of railway services. They believe that the government should not withdraw all positions across the board, and the establishment does not oppose every funding.
The person heard that the government is considering directly putting the funding for opening seats into next year's "Budget" for approval, and the withdrawal today may be just a "stoppable measure."
According to the analysis of the establishment, the community generally pays more attention to the sugar distribution measures in the budget. If the open allocation is bundled, it can avoid the item-by-item review process of the finance and accounting, and at the same time, avoid blatantly increasing the government's constancy under the current financial constraints. Expenditure, delayed until March next year, is relatively easy to be accepted by the outside world.
However, those with a clear mind should remember that the government raised the eligibility for elderly CSSA from 60 to 65 at the beginning of last year, which aroused widespread opposition from the society. When Carrie Lam attended the question-and-answer meeting of the Legislative Council at that time, she burst out: "Approved" means "checking the records" before attending the meeting to confirm the 2018/19 budget passed by the Legislative Council. The 900-page expenditure headline has been listed in it. As a result, some members admitted that "oversight" Some people are angrily saying that in the future, "autopsy" will not allow the government to perform "small moves."
Lam Cheng said that "it was approved by all of you." I believe that many people still say that this kind of political "cleverness" is applied to parliaments without democrats, can it work again?
