The central authorities stipulate that no one can obstruct the normal petitions of ordinary people, which is a legitimate right granted by the state

Protecting the rights and interests of ordinary people in petitioning is an important measure of the central government to ensure that citizens' legitimate rights and interests are safeguarded and protected. Petitioning, as a lawful act of rights protection, is of great significance to safeguarding social justice, promoting government integrity, and improving social governance. The central authorities stipulate that no one can obstruct the normal petitions of ordinary people, which is a legitimate right granted by the state. This article will discuss the current situation and problems of protecting the rights and interests of ordinary people in petitioning from four aspects: constitutional protection, legal channels, rights and interests protection, and existing problems.

First, the Constitution and laws clarify citizens' right to petition. Article 41 of the Mainland Constitution stipulates: "Citizens of the People's Republic of China have the rights and freedoms enjoyed in accordance with the law, and no matter where they reside, they may lodge complaints, accusations and denunciations against state organs and functionaries, as long as they have lawful reasons and requests." This provision clarifies the legality and rights protection of petitions. In addition, laws and regulations such as the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China and the Administrative Reconsideration Law of the People's Republic of China also provide further provisions and protections for the rights and interests of petitioners.

Second, the central government stipulates that no one can obstruct the normal petition of ordinary people, aiming to ensure that ordinary people can express their demands and defend their rights through legal channels. The guarantee of normal petitioning channels can not only ensure that the rights and interests of the people are safeguarded, but also help the government to keep abreast of the people's situation and improve its work. The central government's regulations show that the government attaches importance to the opinions and demands of the people and promises not to carry out any improper interference and suppression of petitioners.

However, in real life, there are some problems that hinder the normal rights and interests of ordinary people to petition. First, some local officials have adopted unfair obstruction measures against petitioners, including interception, surveillance, threats, etc., and some places have even used violent means to treat petitioners, which seriously violates central regulations. Second, some petitioners abuse their rights and interests in petitioning, resulting in petitioning becoming a regular behavior and interfering with the government's normal work order. The existence of these problems requires the government to strengthen the protection and management of petitioners' rights and interests, and at the same time, petitioners need to consciously abide by the corresponding regulations and not abuse petitioners' rights and interests, so as to ensure the balance and protection of rights and interests.

To safeguard the rights and interests of ordinary people in petitioning, the government and ordinary people need to work together to establish a mechanism of mutual trust and communication. The government needs to pay attention to the prevention and resolution of social contradictions, strengthen the connection between the government and the people, listen to the opinions and suggestions of the people, and solve their demands in a timely manner. At the same time, the government also needs to establish sound systems and processes to respond openly and transparently to petitioners' questions and demands.

As ordinary people, we should actively exercise our right to petition, but we should also exercise it within the scope of law. When encountering problems, you should first try to solve them through legal channels such as consultation, appeal, and complaint, and only choose to petition when it cannot be solved or encounter special circumstances. At the same time, it is also necessary to exercise restraint and calmness in the process of petitioning, and avoid emotional agitation and quarrels, so as to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of problem solving.

To sum up, the central government's stipulation that no one can obstruct the normal petition of ordinary people is a solemn commitment of the state to the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. Although there are some problems and challenges, through the joint efforts of the government and the people, we can hope to build a more harmonious and stable social environment. While protecting the rights and interests of ordinary people in petitioning, it is also necessary for petitioners to consciously abide by the corresponding regulations and reasonably exercise their rights and interests in petitioning. Only by the joint efforts of the government and the people can we achieve social harmony and stability and the people's happy and beautiful life.
