服务做在前头 化解矛盾源头******
在山西省阳泉市城区市政府大院社区党群中心会议室,屏幕上经常挂着一张巨大的网格图,上面有许多独特的符号。这些符号都密密麻麻标注在每一个住户的房号后面,代表着不同住户的不同特点。
“这些图案,都是我们工作的好助手。精细化的信息管理有助于我们发动各方,更好地了解居民需要、做好社区服务。”政府大院社区党总支书记董殿英说。
阳泉市政府大院社区开展一张网格强基础项目,把社区内的党建、综治、民政、信访和城管等各类网格统一整合成“一张网”,组建了6个“全科网格”党支部、46个微网格党小组,探索“信息收集、问题发现、任务分办、协调处置、结果反馈”一个记录的工作运行机制。志愿服务队伍和社会组织广泛参与社会治理,构建起“全科型”网格服务管理体系,打通社区治理“最后一公里”。
近两年,阳泉市不断推行“枫桥经验”,针对不同社区特点,优化社区服务,及时解决群众的诉求,把各类潜在矛盾化解在源头,打造了一批“枫桥家园”品牌社区。
走进阳泉市政府大院社区党群服务驿站,雨伞、报架、开水壶等物品一应俱全。顾客、商户、交警、环卫可以在这里休息,免费获得饮水、自助充电和雨伞借用等多项便民服务。不远处,还有一间便民屋,面向社区居民,里面摆放着铁丝、扳手、象棋、羽毛球拍等各种用品。
“这些能满足不少居民的应急需求。体育用品则是鼓励大家进行文娱活动,多锻炼、多交流!”董殿英笑着说,“干群关系融洽、群众之间关系拉近了,矛盾自然就少了嘛。”
阳泉市在做好社区服务的同时,还将矛盾化解的工作重心下移,在基层培养了一批将近千人的信访代理人队伍。
“经过培训,由社区干部兼任信访代理人,既是信息员,又是代理员、调解员。”阳泉市委副秘书长、信访局局长文武全说。
此前,阳泉市矿区赛鱼街道虎尾沟社区某小区出现房屋漏水问题,社区干部兼职信访代理员胡晓入户了解情况,多次主动到区住建部门、物业公司等有关单位了解房屋漏水及维修情况,并联系相关责任部门多次召开协调会,理清职责权限并确定维修方案,使事情在短时间内得到了圆满解决,成功化解了一起潜在的矛盾冲突。“精细化基层治理,我们让数据多跑路、群众少跑腿。”胡晓说。
同时,阳泉各个社区积极打造“大碗茶议事”“百姓讲理厅”等协商议事品牌,通过组织听证评议、集体研究等方式消除群众法律疑惑,避免矛盾纠纷扩大上交。根据个案情况,分别组织律师、心理咨询师、道德宣讲师等适时参与调解,及时释法说理,推动诉求解决,稳定居民情绪。
“目前,我们运用服务型理念、综合型手段、多元型主体和前瞻型举措,发动居民、党员、群团组织等各方力量共同参与打造了200多个‘枫桥家园’,矛盾纠纷排查率和化解率均居全省前列,群众获得感、满意度不断提升。”文武全说。(记者 郑洋洋)
中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
