Petitioning?
Such a thought flashed in Xu Junran's heart, but then he put it aside, this kind of thing happens no matter when. From ancient times to the present, there is uneven distribution where there are people, and naturally there is the saying of complaint, for the petitioners, Xu Junran is very clear that he can't say it in a word, some of these people are really wronged, and some people are really vexatious, at least he has encountered a lot of vexatious trouble in his last life, such as a roadside shop, when the store was demolished, the main price was 5 million, otherwise he would not move.
A rural grocery store in the suburbs of a fourth-tier city in the north asks for 5 million, and it is not an exaggeration to say that such a person is a bad person.
Therefore, although I heard Liu Huaqiang say that this old man was here to petition, Xu Junran sympathized with him, but he had no intention of asking, after all, he performed his own duties, and if he stretched his hand too long, the cadres below would be dissatisfied in their hearts if they didn't say it.
After thinking about it, Xu Junran instructed Liu Huaqiang: "In this way, you talk to him, and then let the comrades of the Letters and Visits Office accept it." ”
This is the normal procedure, if anyone is in trouble, they can go over the level to file a complaint and find a big leader to deal with it, then the national leader does not have to do anything else, and can solve these things every day. And if that's really the case, what else do you need grassroots cadres to do?
Putting down the phone, Xu Junran pondered for a while, and then reached out and dialed the phone number of Deng Wenbing, director of the office of the county party committee. ”
Recently, Deng Wenbing has seen the situation in Incheon County clearly, Secretary Bai doesn't know why he has put on an attitude of Taoguang and obscurity, Liu Qiang simply clamped his tail and behaved because of Wang Meng's matter, the person who has the final say in the entire Incheon County is Xu Junran, the county magistrate, Deng Wenbing is not a fool, he doesn't want to offend Xu Jun and invite any unwarranted disasters.
Xu Junran smiled: "If you have any instructions, just talk about it." What do you think. The work of the Letters and Visits Office is not easy to handle, right? ”
The county's petition office works under the leadership of the county party committee office, so Xu Junran called Deng Wenbing.
Deng Wenbing understood what Xu Junran meant, and he himself always wanted to improve the relationship with Xu Junran, and there was such a saying in officialdom: "It is difficult to burn a cold stove, but it is easy to fry hot rice." Running out of firewood and grass to burn a cold stove requires strategic vision and long-term goals, and the future of burning a cold stove is unpredictable, the risk is very high, and it is difficult to do without patience and perseverance. But once the "cold stove" is hot, the person who burns the cold stove is a time-tested loyal iron. "Fried hot rice" is often a fierce attack on the hot in power, with clear goals, strong practicality, and immediate results when the time comes. However, there are groups of people who fry hot rice, so the investment is large, and the firepower is fierce. It is difficult to go up without strong economic strength.
For Deng Wenbing, he has missed the best time to unite with Xu Junran, and now if he wants to become intimate with Xu Junran, he must increase his strength.
Measure the ability of a cadre. It is not enough to rely on some superficial things, but also to handle more and more complex matters very properly, very tactfully, and very carefully and carefully. Deng Wenbing believes that compared with Liu Huaqiang, he is more suitable to be the big housekeeper of the county party committee office. In other words, he must make Xu Junran feel that even if the secretary of the county party committee is changed. The most suitable candidate for the position of director of the county party committee office is Deng Wenbing.
Therefore, when Deng Wenbing heard Xu Junran mention the petition work, he immediately felt a burst of energy, and intuitively told him that his good opportunity had come!
Sighing helplessly, Deng Wenbing smiled bitterly and said to Xu Junran: "County magistrate, what you said is right, this petition work is really not easy to do." As he spoke, he began to complain to Xu Junran about how difficult the petition work was, because the group owner's demands were sometimes unreasonable, and the petition department actually had no power to solve the problem.
Xu Junran listened to Deng Wenbing's complaints, but understood that most of what he said should be the truth, and the current petition agencies are huge and complex, and the opinions are different. Party committees, people's congresses, governments, courts, procuratorates, and relevant functional departments at all levels, from the central to the localities, have set up petition organs. However, since the petitioning organs belong to the sequence of state organs, these organs do not have a subordinate relationship in the strict sense. The central petition organs have very limited ability to control and coordinate between local petition organs and central departments, and the functions and powers of petition organs and their operation methods vary greatly from place to place, and there is no sharing of information and lack of compulsion.
Not only that, the petition question involves all aspects, and the petition question syndrome has emerged, which makes the petition organization bear too much social responsibility. Since the petition department does not have the actual power to solve a problem, the petitioners regard the petition department as the main body responsible for solving the problem to a large extent, and this is bound to regard the petition department as the direct opposite of the petitioning masses. Moreover, theoretically speaking, petitioning is only one of the means of administrative remedies including administrative litigation and administrative reconsideration, while the state's judicial remedies are the most important form of remedies for citizens' rights. However, in practice, group owners believe more in petitioning as an administrative remedy, and regard it as their last hope. There are many reasons for this state of affairs, among which the inability of citizens in various localities to obtain normal judicial remedies is the main reason.
Xu Junran understands better that in a certain way, because of the long-standing idea of "rule by man" in traditional Chinese society, the petition system, as a special channel for the people's feelings to be conveyed and redressed and rights defended, plays a safety valve for the society and a placebo for the people. However, it must be noted that one of the serious consequences of this attempt to replace judicial relief with administrative remedies is to objectively dissolve the authority of the state's judicial organs, which is the basis of modern social governance.
The current system of letters and visits is procedurally deficient, and the filing and reply are very arbitrary. Although the basic principle of "hierarchical responsibility and centralized management" has been determined, there is no strict standard for how to determine the responsibilities of various departments at all levels, resulting in various departments being able to push each other for various reasons; And to deal with problems, we must look at the face of the leader and act by relying on the instructions of the superiors. This leadership system requires that the "top leaders" of party committees and governments at all levels bear overall responsibility, the leaders in charge bear the main responsibility, and the leaders in charge bear direct responsibility. This kind of leadership system for letters and visits has played a certain role in the fact that the party and government at all levels attach importance to the issue of letters and visits, and has also solved some problems. However, in order to curb the increase and escalation of petitions, governments at all levels will adopt various means to crack down on the petitioners and even persecute them when their methods of bribery and deception are ineffective. One of the consequences of a small number of local governments' crackdowns and persecution of petitioners has been very severe, one of which is that petitions have become an effective form of social mobilization and a means of defending rights, leading to an increase in collective action; The second consequence is that political radicalism arises among petitioners and acquires the social soil for rapid multiplication.
"Lao Deng, according to what you say, are we going to close the door and not listen to the opinions of the masses?" Hearing Deng Wenbing's complaints becoming more and more outrageous, Xu Junran smiled and interrupted him, although he understood the problem here, but in this situation, the work of the Letters and Visits Office is still very important. After all, the laws in China today are sometimes hard and sometimes soft. Without the instructions of the central leadership, it will be soft, and when there are instructions, it will be hard. When something goes small, it's soft, and when something big happens, it's hard. When you don't concentrate on action, it's soft, and when you do concentrated action, it's hard. It's soft when it comes to law enforcement and government officials, and hard when it comes to ordinary people. When the parties are not tough, they are hard, and when the parties are tough, they are soft.
Deng Wenbing was a little unhappy when he heard Xu Junran's words, and quickly shook his head and said, "County magistrate, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." ”
He is not stupid, although he is not clear about Xu Junran's attitude, but judging from Xu Junran's usual attitude towards the masses, this Xu County Magistrate is not the kind of person who does not take the people seriously, and it is not a good thing if he really leaves him with the impression that he does not pay attention to the opinions of the masses.
Xu Junran listened to Deng Wenbing's explanation, and naturally knew his concerns, smiled and said: "I don't mean anything, I just hope that our petition cadres can do more practical things, listen to the opinions of the masses, and most importantly, communicate more with functional departments." ”
He knows very well that in the eyes of many officials and cadres, the petitioners are Diao Min, but in fact, the real Diao Min is not to petition, and they will do all kinds of bad things that confront the law. To put it bluntly, these people say that they are worried that the petitioners will damage the government's image, but in fact they are worried that the petitioners will affect their personal image and career promotion.
As for his own words, how much Deng Wenbing could listen to, Xu Junran didn't know, and there was no way to restrain the behavior of the people below, the only thing he could do was to use his authority as much as possible to put pressure on the people below, so that they would pay more attention to the problems reported by the masses.
Putting down the phone, Xu Junran couldn't help but sigh, the petition system is a major feature of the Chinese administrative system. However, no matter how good this system is, it cannot completely replace a sound legal system. In a modern society that advocates the rule of law, we should first advocate the use of law to solve problems. This is because the quality of the results of petitions often depends on whether or not you can meet a "clean official" and whether you can meet a responsible person.
It's like today's old man who petitioned and complained, if he hadn't met him, I'm afraid that no one would have paid attention to his affairs at all.
