Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong has been the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s General Secretary for more than 12 years, long enough for him to create a leadership class bearing his mark. Trong is a worshiper of late President Ho Chi Minh, what is called Ho’s ideology or morality has been gleaned by him and used to teach morality to party members, especially leaders from the central to local levels. So the question is, as the head of the Party, what has Trong done?
Currently, looking at Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong’s strong hand against corruption, many people have hailed him as the second greatest figure after Ho Chi Minh. Here is the legendary Ho Chi Minh, not the real Ho Chi Minh. The legendary Ho Chi Minh is created in poetry, in literature, in books, and in painted historical documents of the regime. As for the real man, Mr. Ho Chi Minh, he has enough vices, all kinds of tricks, and even the evil actions of a politician in a chaotic time, not a god.
Nguyen Phu Trong is compared to the legendary Ho Chi Minh, it is considered that his supporters are calling him a god. They saw that what Mr. Trong did was real, Mr. Trong set up a furnace to burn corrupt officials with unprecedented amounts of greed.
However, if you look back calmly, why didn’t Nguyen Phu Trong touch Minister of Public Security To Lam, while the evidence of corruption of the police general’s involvement in the Mobifone buying AVG case is out there, no one has seen it?
Today, the Viet A case, the rescue flight case, the AIC case, the vehicle registration case… have shown that the leading cadres of the Communist government are corrupt to the extreme level. Recently, the rescue flight has revealed more criminals. The former Deputy Director of Hanoi Police Department is accused of receiving more than VND61 billion ($2.6 million) to help two businessmen not be criminally prosecuted in the “rescue flight” case. Former Secretary of a Deputy Health Minister more than 180 times accepted bribes of VND42.6 billion. Former assistant to former Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh, Mr. Nguyen Quang Linh, was determined by the security investigation agency to have received more than VND4.2 billion in bribes in the “rescue flight” case.
The apparatus is cumbersome, the management is weak, the reasoning is vague, the lines are either paranoid or unclear. These characteristics have created a Communist Party in which members are insatiably greedy. Nguyen Phu Trong is powerless to create a new class of leaders who are more responsible and capable. Instead, the officials competed for money, either from the tax money of the people, or directly on the labor of the people.
In the statements of officials in the press, especially in propaganda newspapers such as Vietnam Television (VTV), Voice of Vietnam (VOV), Vietnam News Agency, Nhan Dan newspaper, regime officials say all these sublime things, this theory, that logic, this way, that way, etc… But then, behind the wings of that demagoguery, they have taken bribery worth millions of dollars.
In order for the Communist Party to become as terrible as it is today, it is indispensable for Nguyen Phu Trong’s responsibility. There is a story that, when the British came to Australia, they brought dozens of rabbits for recreational hunting. However, then rabbits multiply too quickly, damaging crops and losing ecological balance. Now, it costs Australia hundreds of millions of dollars a year to get rid of rabbits, but never to get rid of them all.
Similarly, Nguyen Phu Trong’s crime is raising rabbits for hunting. But now he hunts all over Vietnam, but he can’t kill all rabbits. It is the conservatism, not having the courage to give up the old Marxist-Leninist that the Communist Party now sees embezzlement everywhere, but all of it is violent embezzlement. And party chief Trong is the one responsible for the crime.
