Chapter 822 Surrounding the Gate

The gate of the community was already blocked by hundreds of people from Lingxi Province. It was time to go to work, and many leaders' cars could not go out through the main entrance and had to go out through the side entrance. The guards at the door were nervously blocking the people who were holding placards to petition outside, lest they rush in. Come in.

What happened this time is a bit bizarre. I don’t know how these people got through the obstacles and got here. If word spread, the local petition department would probably have to suffer another blow.

This situation has existed for a long time, and each place has its own petition department to handle similar matters. When necessary, these unreasonable people will be caught and dealt with, so as not to interfere with the normal order of the capital. In many media Or discredit yourself in front of foreign friends.

The so-called petition refers to letters and visits, which refers to citizens, legal persons or other organizations using letters, emails, faxes, phone calls, visits, etc. to report situations, put forward suggestions, opinions, or Complaint requests are handled by relevant administrative agencies in accordance with the law.

This is a method with domestic characteristics that is another way to solve problems besides law. It is also a relatively direct form of expression of interests. However, the information related to letters and calls generally has to be screened by the staff of the Letters and Calls Office. Then submit it to the relevant leaders and agencies, so in this sense, it is also an indirect way of expressing interests.

In petition activities, cross-level petitions are a very common phenomenon. The main reason is that petitioners often lack trust in the authority and impartiality of low-level petition departments and prefer to solve their own problems as soon as possible through high-level petitions or other authorities.

Because the number of cross-level petitions across the country is too large, which has put tremendous pressure on the capital, superior petitions, and government agencies, cross-level petitions are strictly prohibited.

However, the large number of cross-level petitions has profound social reasons, which to a certain extent reflect the decline in the credibility of grassroots governments. In order to stop the behavior of cross-level petitions, public security organs and government departments in various places will usually send people to intercept and interview the cross-level petitioners. Interception can only maintain the harmony and stability on the surface of society, but in fact it is also a process of accumulating conflicts and ultimately does not solve the root cause. If the phenomenon of social corruption cannot be well curbed, the number of petitions beyond the next level cannot be truly reduced.

The interception of petitions is a matter of great importance from the central to local governments. The capital is increasing its efforts to clean up the villages in the city where petitioners gather. The local government also sends a large number of manpower to pursue and intercept petitions. The petitioners are also trying their best to find gaps to break through the obstruction, just like when they were children. hide and seek.

In fact, this incident is very funny. It also shows once again that the quality of the people is really low and they do not have a clear understanding of some issues, just like everyone regards the capital as a place of pilgrimage.

Many people look forward to petitioning. Let the leaders of relevant departments see their grievances,

Then use the state machinery to punish the bad guys. The premise of their thinking is that local governments do evil and deceive the central government. They want to directly expose the local bad guys and bad deeds to the emperor. As long as the central government understands the truth, those bad guys will be dealt with.

Here, the relevant departments are obviously sanctified, and everyone is still too subjective when looking at issues. In fact, sometimes things are not what the simple-minded masses imagine.

In this matter, the public security department of Lingxi Province obviously failed to fulfill the ardent instructions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to them. The petitioners of Lingxi Province actually touched the property of the community where Fan Heng and others lived. door.

"This is simply ridiculous-" Fan Heng, who was getting ready to go to work in the morning, was immediately embarrassed by the scene outside.

He had never imagined that even the gate of the community would be surrounded by hundreds of petitioners, but now he actually appeared in front of him.

As Fan Heng, who has worked as a grassroots leader for a long time, he can understand the simple thoughts of the grassroots people, but sometimes, things are not handled this way.

Each level of government has its own tasks to be completed. Not all things can be handled by the central government. In that case, even if they have eight hands and six heads, they will not be able to handle it.

all in all. Matters at the grassroots level must still be handled by the grassroots. This issue of order cannot be changed at will. Otherwise, what will be done by setting up grassroots management departments? If the central government can do everything, how much administrative expenses will be saved across the country. ah?

Fan Wubing was on the sidelines and commented, "Lingxi Province's work has not been done well, and the Provincial CPPCC is the one who bears the brunt."

"Huh? What does this have to do with the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference?" Fan Heng was about to go out. Hearing his son's words, he turned around in shock and asked.

He naturally didn't know that Fan Wubing was unhappy because Pang Li, Pang Mingyu and his son did not come to apologize to him as expected. At this time, seeing the disgusting things in Lingxi Province, of course he wanted to add fuel to the fire. Burn this fire a little brighter.

"Of course it does matter. Isn't the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference an organization that conveys social conditions and public opinion? If this channel is not smooth, what do you want them to do, just make a living?" Fan Wubing replied casually.

"This statement seems a bit far-fetched -" Fan Heng said thoughtfully, "The main reason is that the petition department did not do a good job. Whoever is responsible is the responsibility. This cannot be ignored casually."

"You know what the petition department can do?" Fan Wubing pointed out this problem bluntly.

In fact, as Fan Wubing said, you can't say that the petition department has no work to do. This is not objective. Petitioners follow the rules, and the receivers also follow the rules. On the one hand, they report the problem with patience, and on the other hand, they write instructions with courtesy. Between following the rules, time passes, and the patience and life of petitioners are worn out. And the receivers continue to write instructions calmly. Petitioning is often regarded as the last solution to helplessness, and the endless handwritten instructions actually become a mockery of the petitioners' ardent hopes.

Sometimes, a person who starts petitioning may be like a donkey pushing a millstone, seeing the grass hanging in front of him as hope within reach, but in fact he may be in a hopeless dilemma.

Many people petition for a long time, become old petitioners, and become persistent petitioners. Many people would think that it is irrational persistence, and that it is far more cost-effective to give up early than to spend a long time on a matter. However, this is a matter of looking back. If we had known this earlier, we would not have done it in the first place.

From the experience of many people, almost every petition they filed has a reply, and a series of instructions for negotiation and resolution are the replies. The fact that there has been a reply in advance and every time has been replied is often used as evidence that the petitioner is unreasonable, but if you look at the actual situation, you will know what the reply is.

Even in film and television dramas that positively promote the work of petition departments, petitioners are often portrayed as stubborn people, making people feel that they are all stubborn people, which makes people feel both sympathetic and bored. But if they knew that petitioning is not a simple matter and there is no end in sight, they must have died unjustly and not sued the officials, and they would have swallowed their anger.

The instructions are handed over to the petitioners, not to the people who need to solve the problem, which is just a pie in the sky to solve the problem. This may be the effect that the recipients of the petitions are looking for. It can show that the petitioners have been given an explanation, but it will not touch upon the substantive issues, that is, it will not bring any pressure to the relevant units. The reception ceremony is therefore perfect, and each reception will even become a performance. As the saying goes, no matter how many visits are received, each one will have a response.

"A person will be harmed because he lacks resources, while the harmer is resource-rich. Restoring justice means offending the owner of resources, and helping people who lack resources is not only a question of whether bureaucrats are bureaucratic or not, or whether they want to do things, but also a question of whether it is cost-effective to do things. A person running around with useless instructions is actually just another proof of having no resources and being dominated." Fan Wubing pointed out this problem very sharply, "So, you know-why these people come here."

"What can we do? Even if they come here, the way to deal with it is to entrust the local authorities to deal with it, which is just a waste of manpower and material resources to send these people back." Fan Heng also seemed a little helpless when he mentioned this. Some things are not easy to intervene even at his position, unless there are some special circumstances.

Fan Wubing also shrugged his shoulders and expressed great regret.

In fact, Fan Wubing felt that petitioning was not a good solution, but for the situation where the cost of litigation was too high, it would be a good solution to establish a large number of legal aid centers in various places and improve the legal aid system. At least it would allow the people to figure out which things were reasonable and which were unreasonable, which things could be solved through legal means, and which things could not find legal basis.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Instead of helping them solve problems that they should solve by themselves once or twice, it is better to teach them how to use legal weapons and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests through reasonable and legal means.

In this way, it is not only these petitioners who benefit, but also the whole society. Once the cost of crime is high, the crime rate will naturally drop sharply, the social corruption phenomenon will naturally be greatly reduced, and the legal awareness of the whole society will become stronger, forming a cycle of both sexes, instead of the current situation where people have to run to Beijing to find connections when something happens, which is an abnormal phenomenon.

It was about ten minutes later. Finally, someone from Lingxi came forward to get these petitioners away.

When Fan Wubing was seeing his father Fan Heng off, he picked up a document left behind by a petitioner from the ground and flipped through it casually. As he did so, he made some unexpected discoveries.
