District councillors swear an oath to invalidate someone or illegally exaggerate to pursue salary by intimidation? Xu Yingwei: A lot of people often change

The 18 district councilors took the oath and the dust was settled. A total of 49 people from Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories were sworn by the DQ. The entire process from the briefing to the completion of the oath more than 200 resigned. The original 479 district councilors were left with 150.

Before the oath was taken, the government "vented" to the media, stating that those whose oaths are invalid will be paid more than one million yuan, triggering a wave of resignation of democratic legislators. In the end, no "salary compensation plan" appeared.

The Secretary for Home Affairs Xu Yingwei has been repeatedly questioned and refused to respond.

Xu Xinxin accepted a media interview and explained that the authorities had studied different arrangements for taking oaths and paying compensation, and emphasized that there is no intention to "scare away" district councillors.

When asked if he "has a clear conscience and speaks no big words", Xu Yingwei only responded: "In fact, many people change frequently."

He also refused to discuss publicly the specific violations of the oaths, but revealed that a case was referred to law enforcement agencies.

The 329 district councillors who have resigned at present belong to the democratic camp for reasons related to the oath, and 49 people were DQ after completing the oath.

Xu Yingwei explained that some of them involved propaganda or support for Hong Kong independence, while others sought foreign governments or organizations to interfere in Hong Kong affairs.

After completing the ruling, "some cases" have been referred to law enforcement agencies: "I don't have specific figures. In short, I will refer them if necessary."

Before taking the oath, Xu Yingwei denied that he wanted to scare away district board members. “Just like many policies have different ideas at different stages,” he also said that “scare is really meaningless”, emphasizing that it is necessary to arrange a safe way of taking the oath. Once done, let everyone focus on the functions of the district board itself." The oath is roughly completed now, and district administration needs to be done well in the future.

After swearing, the remaining 151 members of the district councillors were reduced from 80% to 40%. Only 16 surviving district councillors took the oath. The oath was originally scheduled to be taken yesterday. Leung Kam-wai: The ceremony has been cancelled until further notice.
