The Central Commission for Inspection concluded that former State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s wife and children were not involved in Viet A, which is believed to be the result of a political bargain
The Công an Nhân dân (People’s Police) newspaper is a newspaper that specializes in defending the police apparatus, that is its duty. Regardless of right or wrong, Vietnam’s police always make excuses. They often read independent outlets and always give arguments to refute, until the faces of the police are revealed. The revelation is the result of internal fighting, but the police newspaper is not allowed to tell the truth, if that truth has not been revealed. The propaganda machine of the Ministry of Public Security still behaves like that. Not only the propaganda of the Ministry of Public Security, but the propaganda in general from the central to the local is the same. Therefore, Vietnam’s state-controlled media is considered by the people as “regime-serving journalism.”
On July 23, the Công an Nhân dân newspaper wrote an article “Trial in the big case of rescue flight: Unsuccessful bargain.”
This article wrote that, “Defending himself at the trial of the ‘rescuing flight’ major case that happened at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hanoi city and other provinces and cities, many defendants admitted that they had not resisted of bribery. Also from the defense of the group of defendants who are businesses, giving money to thank former officials is essentially a bargain to achieve the goal of being licensed to fly.”
In fact, the hearing of the rescue flight case has not been able to bring out the final boss, that is the assertion of an unnamed person in the Ministry of Public Security, not our subjective opinion. At the highest-ranking level, there is usually not persecution, but political bargaining.
Fighting at the top is to compete for political interests. The fact that the parties dragged each other’s subordinates to trial, it was a way to put pressure on the upper boss. Once the highest boss gives up to politics, the final boss is safe, but its subordinates will still be prosecuted.
On February 4, at the Presidential Palace, on the occasion of posting a speech to hand over the task to his deputy, then State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc took the opportunity to say “My family, my wife and children are not self-interested and corrupted in relation to Viet A. They have never met the Director of Viet A, this has been clearly concluded by the Central Inspection Commission.”
No one would have known this bargain if Nguyen Xuan Phuc hadn’t said it. But he said it, proving that he is very smart and knows how to seize opportunities. Because if the political compromise is not publicized, that “the Central Inspection Commission has clearly concluded“, the other party can flip the bet and take his wife and children, which is a rare signal that there was a bargain at the top. As long as they ceded their political rights, they would be left alone and lived in abundance until old age. If they wanted to compete for rights, they would die from misterious reasons like former President Tran Dai Quang. That is the comment of people inside the regime.
Back to the story of the rescue flight, the people being tried are said to be low-ranking members, the final boss of this case has already paid the price, and the price is to give up power. Only the last boss and the last boss’s close friends have the right to bargain, the rest, the “lower officials and individuals” must be “sacrified” to make merit for the winning side. These people cannot pay the price to get rid of sin, because the above order is given like that. If you want to lower the price, you can only lower the price to reduce the sentence, but you can’t negotiate to get rid of the crime, if you get rid of all the guilt, who will beautify the General Secretary’s oven?
They can bribe the criminal network to reduce the death penalty to a term sentence, or reduce it from a high sentence to a lower sentence. This flight rescue trial may have several convictions settled. There is currently a death sentence and it is likely that the price will be finalized before the trial is over.
Hoang Van Hung and Nguyen Anh Tuan are two greedy characters who do not obey the rules of the game, so they are caught in the net. Those who are destined to become imprisoned, they must be prosecuted. The execution of the sentence must also be in the right place and at the right time, and if you see the money, then the person who receives the money will also be jailed.
