Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the central government has stated that the amendment to the electoral system is not “one-size-fits-all”. Hong Kong’s political and electoral system accepts people with different political opinions to participate in elections, but only requires candidates to meet the requirements of “patriots” to support the Basic Law and to be loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. .
Democratic Party Chairman Law Kin-hee responded to Carrie Lam’s remarks, saying that if it is normal, the statement may be reasonable, just like a leader who has made public grievances, social divisions, and immigration due to a wrong judgment. The public felt very strange. He said that the Democratic Party adheres to a democratic mechanism. Regarding whether to run for the current Legislative Council, party members will make judgments on the political situation, future development, risks, and mobilization capabilities at the September general meeting.
The vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, Lu Wenduan, wrote in this newspaper yesterday (23) that if the Democratic Party prohibits party members from running for election, there is only a “dead end”, and he also called for the removal of the idea of ”anti-Communist and anti-Communist”. Democratic Party Chairman Luo Jianxi said that he believes that party members will assess and judge the political situation, future development, risks, etc. at the September General Assembly, emphasizing that the Democratic Party has never advocated and speculated.Related report: Lu Wenduan: Boycotting elections, a dead end.
