Jimu News commentator Wu Shuangjian

In response to a post on the Internet that reported that Lu, chairman of the People's Congress of Songgu Township, Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, organized a dinner party with several township and village cadres and one person died after drinking. On August 25, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Songgu Township said that during the investigation, it was not convenient to communicate by phone.

According to the content of the online post, on May 1 this year, Songgu Township People's Congress Chairman Lu Moumou organized a drinking party at a restaurant in Songgu Township, and the participants were township and village cadres of the township. In the early morning of the next day, a village cadre who participated in the drinking party died. After the incident, the relevant departments of Jiexiu City intervened to deal with it, but it was left unresolved and the relevant personnel were not punished.

The post revealed that the incident happened on May 1 this year, more than three months ago. The secretary of the Songgu Township Discipline Inspection Commission said that during the investigation, it was not convenient to communicate by phone. This sentence is difficult to understand. The matter is not complicated. After such a long time, has it not been investigated clearly? Even if it is not investigated clearly, in the face of public doubts, it can also explain to the public based on the relevant information at hand, instead of being unwilling to disclose even a word.

The post also said that according to the information he had, afterward, each person who participated in the dinner paid a sum of money to the family of the deceased, An Moumou, in varying amounts. The media verified that Lu Moumou was still the chairman of the township people's congress and was working normally. The reporter contacted a person in charge of the Jiexiu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and when the reporter finished the interview content, the person in charge hung up the phone.

All signs indicate that it is not that the incident has not been investigated thoroughly, but that everyone is deliberately avoiding it.

The eight central regulations have made clear requirements on the eating and drinking of leading cadres, and local governments have also formulated corresponding rules and clauses. In short, party members and cadres are required to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations before attending various dinners to identify who pays, who they eat with, where they eat, what they eat, and whether there are any violations. They must not organize or participate in illegal eating and drinking.

That is to say, who organized the drinking party, who were the participants, how much was spent, who paid, whether there were high-end cigarettes and alcohol, etc., are all subject to relevant regulations. Whether there were any violations at the drinking party, the relevant departments should make an accurate determination based on the facts, and then deal with the relevant responsible persons in accordance with the law.

What's more, when someone dies after drinking, it causes a bad social impact, and it is even more necessary to explain to the public.

The cause of death of the village cadre is also crucial. Was it due to excessive drinking? There were township leaders at the same table, and the one who died was a village cadre. I am afraid that due to the unhealthy atmosphere at the table, the person involved was forced to drink and led to the tragedy.

Some people may think that if it is a private dinner, it is fine for leading cadres to dine and drink together during their rest time. In fact, if leading cadres dine and drink together, it will not only have a bad social image and damage their reputation among the masses, but it may also lead to the formation of cliques and collusion of interests. We must be vigilant and investigate this. If it is a meal with subordinates, it may also affect the impartial performance of official duties by leading cadres.

It is no small matter for leading cadres to eat and drink in violation of regulations. Whether it is eating from subordinates or bosses, and whether it is public or private funds, it is a loss of the party's fine style, encouraging unhealthy tendencies and corrupting social atmosphere. Discipline inspection and supervision departments at all levels should adhere to the principle of strictness and crack down on it as soon as it is discovered.

If there were violations at the drinking party, and it also resulted in the death of a village cadre, then it certainly cannot be settled privately by paying money. The local discipline inspection and supervision department should investigate thoroughly and handle it in accordance with regulations, discipline and laws.
