"I was fined 1,000 yuan by the village committee for holding a banquet at home." Do you have to pay a fine for holding a banquet? Is the village committee too lenient?
◇ Event review
On January 23, Guo, a villager in Guangyuan, Sichuan, received a receipt for a fine, which showed "1,000 yuan for illegal liquor education", and then Guo uploaded the slip to the Internet and complained that he was fined 1,000 yuan by the village committee for running a banquet.
Subsequently, village cadre Xu responded to Guo's "fine".
Xu said: "This is not a fine, it is an education fee, because it is not easy for ordinary people to make money, the government has issued a document, and the village can only do red and white things, and nothing else is allowed."
At the same time, Xu said that Guo had held three banquets in four years, such as the death of the old man for one year, two years or even three years, Guo had to hold a banquet, that is to say, Guo found various reasons to hold a banquet.
Therefore, the villagers had great opinions on Guo's approach, so they reported Guo's banquet to the village committee.
◇ Netizens speak out
This incident spread to the Internet and attracted the attention and heated discussions of netizens.
Some netizens expressed dissatisfaction with Guo's behavior of holding banquets indiscriminately, saying: "I support the decision of the village committee, and now some people are holding banquets under various names to achieve the purpose of collecting money."
Some netizens said: "This village committee has done a good job, and there are indeed too many banquets now." What full moon wine, birthday wine, etc".
A netizen said: "Some people even have to hold a banquet when they buy a house or a car."
Some netizens said: "The village committee's practice is too light, and this kind of messy banquet should be completely banned."
However, some netizens think that the village committee's approach is inappropriate.
Some netizens said: "First of all, we should explain why Guo held a banquet, if he really needs to hold a banquet, the government has no right to interfere with this action."
Some netizens said: "Others are fined for holding banquets, and the villagers have no freedom."
Some netizens questioned: "Which regulations did the villagers violate by holding a banquet, and where did the village committee get its rights"?
Some netizens also raised questions about the fine, saying that where did the village committee have the right to fine the villagers, and how to deal with the fine?
In this regard, the village cadre Xu also made a corresponding explanation, Xu said: "The 1,000 yuan education fee was decided by the village committee meeting, and the 1,000 yuan was not transferred to the private account, but to the village collective account, and the money will be publicized and used in the economic construction of the local countryside, such as cleaning, road repair, etc."
◇The editor has something to say
Whether it is a rural or urban banquet, this is a local custom, such as weddings and funerals.
However, now many places have turned this custom into a means of making their own profits, such as Xiaobian's hometown, where children are admitted to college, and some people have to hold banquets when they buy cars and houses.
This phenomenon is a bit excessive, but the village committee can educate about this kind of thing, but it does not have the right to punish it.
Similarly, if you know that someone else is holding a banquet for profit, as a villager, you can choose not to participate in it in order to protect your own interests, instead of choosing to report the other party, I believe that no one will say anything if you don't go to such a banquet.
I don't know what netizens think about this matter?
