A few days ago, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission publicly notified six typical problems that violated the eight central regulations.
One of them was Yang Baozhi, the former party secretary and executive director of Huadian Mengneng Jintong Coal Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jintong Company), who borrowed money from his son's wedding banquet to collect money.
According to the report, before New Year's Day in 2020, Yang Baozhi illegally received 42 management and service objects in gift money of 46,500 yuan in the process of hosting a wedding banquet for his children; in March 2020, with the consent of Yang Baozhi, the company set up a "small treasury". 500,000 yuan was used to pay for illegal food and drink.
In addition, Yang Baozhi also has other disciplinary issues.
In the end, Yang Baozhi was punished by dismissal from the party's position and dismissal, and the gift money received in violation of the rules was returned.
1 "I always think that if you don't take the initiative to notify your subordinates, it is not a violation of the rules if you receive a gift."
Yang Baozhi was dealt with, starting with the six petition reports from June to August this year.
On June 23, July 22, and August 21, the disciplinary inspection and supervision team of Huadian Corporation transferred the disciplinary inspection and supervision group of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to the SASAC, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Ordos Municipal Commission for 3 times. The 6 letters and visits reported materials were forwarded to the Beijing Supervision Center of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the company.
The report materials mainly reflect Yang Baozhi's private low-price coal sales without entering the company's accounts, abuse of power, and benefit transfer.
At the end of July, the Beijing Supervision Center conducted a preliminary verification of clues about relevant issues.
When talking to the employees of Jintong Company to understand the relevant situation, a sentence of an employee caught the attention of the inspectors: "We even gave gifts when his son got married."
Yang Baozhi received gifts from employees when he organized a wedding banquet for his son?
Has it received any gifts that may affect the fair execution of official duties?
Is it significantly more than normal reciprocity?
The inspector decided to have a talk with Yang Baozhi after finding relevant personnel to understand the situation.
At the beginning of the conversation, Yang Baozhi knew that the paper package could not keep the fire, so he truthfully explained his violation of discipline.
"Although I did not notify the company's subordinates to participate, but in fact, some people rushed to Datong to attend the ceremony the day before."
It turned out that on December 15, 2019, Yang Baozhi submitted an application form for organizing weddings and funerals before organizing a wedding banquet for his son at the Yanbei Hotel in Datong, Shanxi.
At that time, although Yang Baozhi did not inform the company's subordinates, many of his subordinates rushed to the wedding scene or passed them on behalf of others and sent the gifts.
Among them, there are 7 employees at or above the sub-factory level of Jintong Company, with a total amount of 13,000 yuan; 13 middle-level cadres with a total amount of 16,000 yuan; 21 general employees with a total amount of 15,500 yuan.
A customer of Ordos Shuangshengda Trading Co., Ltd. who has business dealings with Jintong Company gave a gift of 2000 yuan.
The above-mentioned gift money will be transferred to Yang Baozhi's wife by WeChat or cash by the director of the General Department of Jintong Company and the person in charge of the dispatching command center.
"As the main person in charge of a state-owned enterprise, I have the mentality to follow the trend, and I did not stop giving gifts to subordinates in time, and did not refund the money in time." "I always think that if you don't take the initiative to notify subordinates, receiving gifts is not a violation"... Lack of awe, With luck, Yang Baozhi broke through the bottom line of discipline.
After investigation, Yang Baozhi still took the lead in setting up a private "small treasury", accounting for 500,000 yuan of low-priced coal sales into the "small treasury", used for external coordination of 276,700 yuan, purchasing 50 boxes of liquor, 60,000 yuan, etc., causing economic losses to the enterprise 988.8 million yuan; the problem of receiving 60,000 yuan in cash from employees of the unit.
In November 2020, Yang Baozhi was dismissed from the party's position and dismissed from his post. The gift money received in violation of the regulations was refunded. The 60,000 yuan in cash received illegally was voluntarily handed over to the group company account. The remaining funds of the "small treasury" of 110,800 yuan have been returned to Jintong. company account.
2 Favoring face, talking about pomp and taking advantage of the opportunity to collect money co-existed, broken into pieces, and repeatedly circumvented supervision
Organizing weddings and funerals is a traditional Chinese folk custom.
However, some party members and cadres are keen on big things and extravagant waste, making weddings and funerals a hotbed of corruption.
In recent years, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have continuously increased their supervision and inspection of mental behaviors that violate the eight central regulations.
From January to November this year, a total of 2,955 cases of illegal weddings and funerals were investigated and dealt with nationwide, and 3,383 people were criticized, educated, helped and dealt with, of which 2,512 were punished by party discipline and government affairs.
Comparing the data of the same period in previous years, it can be seen that the discipline inspection and supervision organs have always maintained a high-pressure posture of rectifying the "four winds", and the behavior of party members and cadres in handling weddings and funerals and celebrations has been significantly reduced.
However, judging from the cases notified in various places, violations of the rules of wedding and funeral celebrations and evasion of organizational supervision still occur from time to time.
Some have good face, talk about pomp, and are keen on big exercises.
For example, Liu Yankai, director of the safety production department of Beijing Shunxin Agricultural Co., Ltd. Pengcheng Food Branch, organizes the wedding for her son, and arranges his management objects in the safety production department to be responsible for on-site accounting and guidance.
A total of 71 members of the branch’s leadership team, middle-level cadres, and employees attended the wedding banquet. Liu Yankai received a gift from 69 of the above personnel, totaling RMB 45,000.
Currently, Liu Yankai has been severely warned and punished by the party, and the gift money received has been refunded.
Some did not report as required or did not truthfully report the operation situation.
For example, Shi Quanli, director of the Salt and Special Food Supervision and Administration Division of the Hainan Provincial Market Supervision Administration, failed to report to the organization, conducted a wedding banquet in violation of regulations, and received a total of 18,000 yuan in gift money from 6 management service objects.
In addition, Shi Quanguo has other disciplinary issues.
In October of this year, Shi Quanguo received a serious warning from the party and a severe punishment from the Government Affairs Recorder, and his illegal and disciplined gains were confiscated.
Some borrowed money by organizing weddings and funerals and festivities, and illegally collected and sent gifts.
In January 2018, Song Zhengtang, the former secretary of the Party Leadership Group of Wushan County, Chongqing City, reported to the organization that he planned to organize a wedding banquet for his children, and declared that the banquet was for relatives and friends who were not the objects of management.
On February 4, 2018, Song Zhengtang organized a wedding banquet for his son, which was attended by many management service targets.
Song Zhengtang illegally received RMB 33,500 in gift money from 14 management service targets. He was severely warned by the party and returned the gift money received.
It is worth noting that some leading cadres of party members played "peek-a-boo" in the management of weddings and funerals in an attempt to evade supervision.
Breaking into parts and performing multiple operations is a common way.
For example, Guo Xinping, deputy director of the Workers’ North Cultural Palace in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, failed to declare in accordance with the regulations in the process of handling the marriage for his sons. He held 50 banquets in different hotels four times and accepted gifts from the management service recipients in violation of regulations.
The reporter noticed that some party members and cadres were worried about being exposed, so they did not come forward and arranged or acquiesced to arrange or acquiesce that relatives and friends of non-party cadres would handle it and collect gifts on their behalf.
3 Use banquets to contact favors, cling to relationships, and use favors to conceal gifts and wealth
At a time when the party is fully and strictly governed and the "four winds" are constantly being corrected, some party members and leading cadres still conduct weddings and funerals in violation of regulations, and even cover people's eyes and eyes through violations of the sun and the dark. What is the reason behind this?
Song Wei, director of the Center for Integrity Research of the University of Science and Technology Beijing, believes that the traditional Chinese concepts of blind comparison, pomp, and good face have caused the social ethos of big-handedness to remain.
"Children's marriage is a lifelong matter, so I just want to have fun." "It's all human relations, I'm sorry not to accept it." "According to past customs"... When a considerable number of people involved talked about their own disciplinary issues, they blamed it on "Let’s communicate with each other" and "customs and favors", who believe that a human society cannot lose face or refute others' face.
"The people's living standards have improved, and they have a strong "family foundation", especially influenced by traditional customs. It is generally believed that banquets should be lively and lively. Even if there is no "family foundation", they must be swollen and fat. The person in charge of the Party’s Work Style and Political Style Supervision Office of the Supervisory Committee of the Pu’er Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection of Yunnan Province believes that at the same time, due to the influence of the grassroots acquaintance society, everyone feels that being invited at the banquet is a worthy performance, which leads to The more please, the more.
Some gift-giving parties complained, "There is no happy event in anyone's family", "I can't see you when I bow my head", "If you don't give it to others, I am afraid that the leader will wear small shoes in the future." They express their unwillingness in their words, but follow the crowd blindly. .
"Behind the irregularities, it reflects that some party members and cadres have the idea of following the trend, and they dare not fight or resist in the face of unhealthy trends." Song Wei analyzed.
The reporter's investigation found that the problem of illegal handling of weddings and funerals and celebrations is more obvious at the grassroots level, and the subjects involved are often grassroots cadres with certain power.
In the opinion of the person in charge of the Party Work Style, Political Style Supervision Office of the Supervision Committee of the Pu'er City Discipline Inspection Commission, Yunnan Province, the powers of these cadres involve many specific matters of the interests of the masses. When these cadres are working at home, stakeholders will be "moved by the wind."
After combing through the reports from various places, the reporter found that most of the illegal practices of wedding and funeral celebrations are accompanied by illegal gifts and gifts. A small number of people regard the management of weddings and funerals as an opportunity for "emotional investment" and use the opportunity of banquets to contact Favors, clinging relationships, and concealing gifts and making money through human relationships.
Large-scale violations of regulations make weddings and funerals a breeding ground for unhealthy trends, damage the image of party members, cadres and public officials, and often cause extravagance and waste, and violate the virtues of diligence and thrift.
"Many dishes went directly into the trash can without much movement, and eventually the'feast' became a'leftover banquet'." A group of people who attended the banquet recently said.
4 Keep a close eye on important nodes and “critical minorities” intensify supervision and inspection to prevent one set of declarations and one set of operations
Regarding the issue of illegal weddings and funerals, discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have taken a multi-pronged approach to continuously increase supervision and punishment, and resolutely stop the unhealthy trend of illegal banquets under the intertwining of face and interests.
Illegal handling of weddings and funerals and celebrations mostly involves leading cadres. Song Wei suggested that we should pay close attention to the "critical minority", strengthen supervision and inspection of the declaration, approval and publicity of weddings and funerals, and strictly prevent one set of declarations and one set of operations.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Shifang City, Sichuan Province refined the scale and procedures of wedding and funeral celebrations, and strengthened the supervision and inspection of the implementation of party members and cadres in wedding and funeral celebrations by accepting reports, on-site inspections, open and unannounced visits, and public opinion supervision. .
Combining with the actual situation that July, August, and September are the peaks for holding college entrance banquets, and "May 1st" and "Eleventh" are the peaks for wedding banquets, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels keep an eye on important time points and carry out targeted supervision. an examination.
The Hefei Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Anhui Province strengthened the supervision of party members, cadres and public officials by strengthening publicity and education, reminding attention points, tracking supervision and inspection, and timely reporting and exposure.
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the city’s discipline inspection and supervision organs have investigated and dealt with 11 cases involving party members, cadres, and public officials who violated the rules of performing weddings and funerals, and handled 11 people.
In order to promptly detect problems such as "wearing invisible cloaks" and "wearing vests" in attempts to circumvent the organization and supervision of illegal practices for weddings and funerals, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels innovated methods and strengthened daily supervision.
Guandu Town, Zhushan County, Hubei Province focuses on key positions and key personnel, and establishes clean government files for 22 village party branch secretaries, village committee directors and village documents in 11 villages in the town, and requires party members and cadres to report on the management of weddings and funerals. After making a self-evaluation, the masses rate the daily performance evaluation of village cadres, and the town’s Commission for Discipline Inspection combines daily supervision, letters and visits and reports to achieve precise supervision.
Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have also unblocked reporting channels, mobilizing mass supervision, and forming an atmosphere of joint supervision over illegal banquets.
The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region’s Qiemo County Commission for Discipline Inspection encourages the masses to "take pictures" of party members and cadres' grand weddings and funerals, illegal public funds eating and drinking, and report them through the 24-hour reporting hotline and reporting websites to hide the "four winds" The problem has nowhere to hide.
5 Stop the bad habits, correct the trees and promote the change of customs
There is a realistic soil for handling weddings and funerals.
To stop this unhealthy customs, we must also correct the tree and promote the change of customs.
In response to the prominent problems that the masses have strongly reflected on, such as the vigorous comparison of the big exercises, the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection selected 10 work contact points to carry out special rectification actions to change customs.
At the same time, the "Notice on Promoting the Comprehensive Development of the Special Treatment of Changing Customs" was issued, requiring all parts of the province to combine actual conditions to identify the prevailing unhealthy customs and bad habits in the region and the masses to carry out the "one county, one special" rectification action to promote Change customs to achieve full coverage.
The wind comes from above, and the secular becomes below.
The life style and taste of the leading cadres have a demonstrative function for the formation of social atmosphere and the cultivation of the public's taste for life.
In recent years, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have urged party members and leading cadres to play the role of a "key minority" and strive to be leaders in changing customs.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province encourages the masses to participate in the drafting of the convention on changing customs and requires moral models, party members, and village (resident) leaders to take the lead in signing a letter of commitment to change customs.
In the process of promoting changes in customs, localities emphasized the dominant position of the masses and guided villagers to self-educate, self-discipline and self-manage.
This year, after Zichuan District of Zibo City, Shandong Province was listed as a pilot area for the reform of marriage customs in the province, it gave full play to the role of the village (residential) red and white councils, vigorously promoted the "three frees" of new weddings, and parents gave family style and family motto. , The secretary of the village (residential) party organization sends village rules and folk agreements, and friends send books to resist bad customs such as big business, extravagance and waste, "high price gifts".
It is very important to stop the bad habits and take care of the family tradition.
The Discipline Inspection Commission of Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, in its activities to create a clean family style, included housewarming banquets and school promotion banquets, etc., into the content of clean family evaluations, and included standardized weddings and funerals and celebrations in the village rules and regulations. First-level cadres and party members are shown to the masses, and continue to promote the construction of a clean family to extend to the grassroots.
In the process of mobilizing the masses to participate, the Wenshan Prefecture Commission for Discipline Inspection not only notified typical cases of banquets held in violation of regulations, but also told the "good stories" of clean family style and spread the "good voices" of clean family style, so that the people could understand and listen to them. Remember.
Funing County, based on the local folk customs, carefully organized and compiled clean songs on the theme of praising clean family style and civilized country style, such as "Transferring Customs and Changing Customs," and organized a village group art team to implant clean culture into daily life and nourish family morals. .
