Some politicians said that after listening to the content of Lam's press conference, they are almost certain that Lam will demand that Xu Yingwei be held accountable to step down, in order to prove that the government is impartial and restore the prestige of governance, even if there are establishment factions "speaking well" for Xu , which is obviously not a factor that Lam is considering.
An official revealed that at the end of yesterday's executive meeting, Ye Guoqian of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong suddenly brought up the incident and asked why the government had not yet completed the investigation into the "Hongmen Banquet" scandal.
It is reported that there are three main reasons for Carrie Lam to explain on the spot. First, Xu Yingwei is the main official, and the central government decides the problem. Second, 15 officials attended the "Hongmen Banquet", hoping to "buy" Xu Yingwei to stay after the decision is made. The punishment plan for the officials involved has only been announced once; thirdly, Lin Zheng mentioned that the central government hopes that the incident can be cooled down, and the implication is that he does not want to hype it outside.
However, the "Hongmen Banquet" turmoil caused a thousand waves. It is reported that some people said on the spot that it was not up to them to decide whether the incident could be cooled down.
According to the regulations, the appointment and removal of officials in the SAR must be approved by the State Council in addition to the proposal of the Chief Executive.
The establishment refers to the disposal plan affecting the chief executive
As for the Director of Immigration, Au Jiahong, who is also required to enter the camp and quarantine, he has resumed work on Tuesday. Some people close to the government pointed out that the resumption of work does not mean that there is no mistake, but because Au Jiahong is a civil servant, the treatment method may be different from Xu Yingwei.
"Hong Kong 01" reported yesterday that two officials will be punished and thrown into the wok, and Au Jiahong is the one with a greater chance, but the specific punishment is still unknown.
There are people in the establishment who will analyze that this "Hongmen Banquet" turmoil may affect the Chief Executive's situation, because Carrie Lam hopes to use the heads of officials to prove that he is selfless. explain.
The person pointed out that if the central government adopts Carrie Lam's opinion to replace Xu Yingwei, it will reflect that Carrie Lam still has a certain weight in the heart of the central government, or it may reflect on the side of Carrie Lam's bid for re-election.
Xu Yingwei knew to stay a few years ago. Carrie Lam ordered a leave: Disappointed, officials should not embarrass the government Decline the invitation to repent and redouble efforts in the future
