Hong Kong Liaison Office spokesperson: Severely condemn the opposition for instigating illegal “primary elections” to undermine the Legislative Council’s fair elections and never allow outside forces to manipulate Hong Kong’s political affairs
China News Service, July 14th. According to the website of the Hong Kong Liaison Office, a spokesperson for the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said on the 13th that it strongly condemned the opposition political groups for ignoring the relevant laws and the SAR government’s warning and insisting on illegal "Election" and firmly support the SAR Government's in-depth investigation and investigation and punishment according to law.
The spokesman said that the SAR Government has just issued a solemn statement on this, expressing its firm determination to uphold the fairness of the Legislative Council elections and its clear attitude of investigating and punishing those who violate the law and regulations. In this regard, we express our firm support.
The spokesman pointed out that the upcoming election of the 7th Legislative Council of Hong Kong in September this year is a major event in the operation of the special administrative region system. As a major component of the governance structure of the SAR, the Legislative Council assumes important constitutional responsibilities. Ensuring that elections are conducted in a fair and just environment is related to the overall interests of Hong Kong society and the well-being of the general public. The legislative affairs of the Legislative Council have strict legal procedures and are sacred and noble. With the support of external forces, the opposition minority groups and head figures have deliberately devised plans to hold this so-called "primary election", which is a serious provocation to the current electoral system and a serious damage to the fairness and justice of the Legislative Council elections. Serious damage to the legal rights and legitimate interests of other candidates. The so-called "primary election" also took the opportunity to grab a large amount of citizens' personal information and voter information, which was suspected of violating privacy regulations. We express our high concern and severe condemnation of this kind of naked illegal behavior, and firmly support the SAR government to deal with it seriously according to law.
The spokesman emphasized that Dai Yaoting, who has a legal professional background, coordinating the opposition "primary election" is a typical suspected criminal law. From the illegal "occupation of the middle" and "revision of the storm" to the launch of the "Thunderbolt 2.0" "35+ Plan", the goal of the Dai Yaoting group and the opposition is to seize the governance of Hong Kong and deliberately stage the Hong Kong version of the "color revolution". It is particularly vigilant that after the implementation of the National Security Law of Hong Kong, some people actually signed the "Common Program" and brazenly threatened that the goal of coordinating opposition elections to the Legislative Council is to control the Legislative Council, veto the budget, and paralyze the SAR government. 1. Fully "scramble" Hong Kong and subvert the state power. It has been suspected of violating Article 22 of Hong Kong's National Security Law and Hong Kong's local election laws. Dai Yaoting had been sentenced to 16 months in prison for the illegal "occupation of the middle" case. He is still on bail and waiting for the appeal. He was so high-profile to openly manipulate the election. Who was instructed by him? Who gave him such confidence?
The spokesman finally emphasized that after the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Hong Kong society gradually restored order, and citizens began to return to peaceful life. We hope that the election of the new Legislative Council will be completed in an orderly manner in a stable social order and a fair and just environment. Some people insist on so-called "primary elections", which is contrary to the wishes of the majority of voters to expect fair elections. It must be pointed out that illegal elections by any organization and any individual are doomed not to get the results they want. Any speculator who is willing to act as an agent of external forces, or any diehard who fights against the country, undermines "one country, two systems", and tries to separate Hong Kong from the motherland, is destined to have no way out. There is no room for their wanton in the system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China.
