The election of the chief executive will be held next year. In an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01", the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive Liang Zhenying mentioned that the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law clearly stated that the chief executive can be elected or negotiated by the central government. Appointment, believes that if it is announced that the chief executive is changed through negotiation, there is no need to amend the Basic Law.
The current Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, was asked by reporters this morning (19th) about the statement. Carrie Lam said that all the chief executives were elected through elections and that they should continue to be used in the future.
She also mentioned that the Central People's Government is familiar with the sincerity of reaching universal suffrage in a gradual and orderly manner according to the actual situation, but in fact some people in Hong Kong are blocking the democratic process.
Liang Zhenying posted another post on Facebook, saying that the "actual situation" in Hong Kong in recent years is that the main opposition politicians deny the power of the central government and then collude with foreign forces, "going to the United States in groups to enter rooms and hang out with American officials" and even Ask the US government to sanction Hong Kong.
He asked, if this "actual situation" led to the election of the puppet of the US government as the chief executive, "Are we still going to elect?", also called "Is there a chain explosion? The opposition knows it."
Regarding Leung Chun-ying's proposal that the chief executive can be formed through consultations, Carrie Lam was asked this morning whether the democratic process was "reversed", which meant that all successive chief executives were elected through elections. The number of chief executives has increased from 400 to 1,200 by 2014. It is proposed to allow the chief executive to be elected by one person, one vote under a widely representative nomination committee. "The sincerity of the Central People's Government to promote Article 45 to achieve universal suffrage in accordance with the actual situation is common. But what happened? In fact, some people in Hong Kong are blocking the democratic process."
She said that when the actual situation in Hong Kong presents a high risk, or even endangers national security, and affects the full implementation of "One Country, Two Systems", the central government will certainly understand that it must take action, and the government will cooperate, but there are no specific details on how to change it at present. Confess.
The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be elected or negotiated locally and appointed by the Central People's Government.
The method for selecting the Chief Executive is stipulated in accordance with the actual situation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the principle of gradual and orderly progress, and ultimately achieves the goal of universal suffrage after nomination by a broadly representative nomination committee according to democratic procedures.
The specific method for selecting the Chief Executive is stipulated in Annex I "Methods for the Selection of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region".
Article 45 of the Basic Law
Carrie Lam also pointed out that no matter from the perspective of historical development and social benefits, it is better for the chief executive to be elected.
She also pointed out that the benefit of an election is not only to elect the Chief Executive, but also to allow candidates to explain their policy direction to the society during the election process.
But she said, "It is true that negotiation is literally possible, so I can't say that someone according to the family's proposal for negotiation is in violation of the Basic Law."
Liang Zhenying: The actual situation is that the opposition "don't recognize the ancestors and not return to the clan"
Liang Zhenying retorted in a post that the "actual situation" in Hong Kong in recent years is that the main opposition politicians "don't recognize their ancestors and do not return to the clan", "do not go to Beijing or join the Liaison Office", insist on "decentralization" and deny the central government. He then colluded with foreign forces and asked, "If this "actual situation" results in the election of a puppet of the US government as the chief executive, do we still have to elect?"
Former Democratic Party legislator Huang Biyun criticized yesterday that the election of the chief executive through consultation is a major retrogression in democracy. It not only violates the principle of gradual and orderly progress in the Basic Law and towards universal suffrage, but also runs counter to mainstream Hong Kong public opinion.
She expressed surprise and dissatisfaction with Leung Chun-ying's statement, and questioned his selective use of Article 45 of the Basic Law with the intention of creating a chief executive through negotiations.
