First of all, we need to know what is a village party secretary?
The full name of the village party secretary is called "Secretary of the Village Party Branch"!
In our country, a village generally has a "two committees" team, one is the villagers' committee, referred to as the village committee, and the other is the village party branch.
I believe that many people know that the village committee is a grass-roots mass autonomous organization with the village as the unit, and the composition of its members is selected spontaneously by the masses of each village, and the emphasis is on self-management, self-service, and self-education.
The nature of the village party branch is even more special, it is one of the most grassroots organizations of the Communist Party of China, and it is also the core leadership of all organizations in rural areas.
The village party branch is responsible for all the big and small work of a village, and everything is very small.
That is to say, at the political level, the authority and status of the village party branch are higher than that of the village committee, and the former leads the latter.
After clarifying the "two village committees", let's take a look at what the village party secretary is, the village party secretary is simply the secretary of the village party branch and the main person in charge of the village party branch.
In terms of the higher leadership position of the party branch between the two committees, the position of the village party secretary in a village is top-notch.
In addition, the mainland is now vigorously promoting the policy and program of "shoulder-to-shoulder" between the two committees, and the secretaries of village party branches and directors of village committees in many rural areas are "one person at the same time".
This has increased the voice of the village party secretary in the village.
As we mentioned earlier, the members of the village committee are generally selected by the villagers themselves.
So how did the village party secretary come about?
There are two main channels:
One is for the village party congress to first elect the members of the village committee, and then the village committee decides which of them is elected to the most important post of village party secretary.
This elected person must be the best in terms of ability and performance, and can be defined as the leader of the whole village.
For example, college students and village officials, their advantages are high education and modern thinking.
Of course, there are also many village party secretaries who are returnees who go out to do business, and they are very good at leading the whole village to make a fortune.
There are also cases of veterans becoming village party secretaries, which are generally very popular and trusted, and can strengthen the cohesion of villagers.
However, no matter who is selected to serve as the village party secretary, under normal circumstances, the elected person must be a member of the village household registration.
Of course, in addition to this form of regular selection, there are also some village party secretaries who are appointed by higher-level party organizations, and this situation generally appears in some old and difficult villages where the problems are more serious.
For example, there are few talents in the village, and no one can do this job, and the village is too poor, and it is difficult to get rid of poverty and become rich on its own, so it needs the help of the government. Whether the village party secretary is considered a national civil servant or not, let's continue to look down.
Is the village party secretary a state cadre, what is his welfare, and is it possible for the village party secretary to be promoted to deputy mayor?
If you are a friend who has experienced country life, you will definitely say:
"Of course, if you count as cadres, why don't you count them? After all, village cadres are also cadres!
What's more, the village party secretary is still the most powerful among the village cadres!"
Indeed, in mainland villages, people generally refer to the core members of the two village committees as village cadres, but these cadres are not "cadres" in the true sense of the word, that is, civil servants in the system.
The Supervision Law of the People's Republic of China clearly stipulates that although the secretary of a village party branch is a public official, he is essentially different from a cadre of party and government organs and public institutions.
They do not have the administrative level of civil servants, they have neither an administrative establishment, nor are they members of the public service or participate in the public service, and they do not fall within the scope of the system.
For example, although the village party secretary can receive a certain salary every month and has corresponding financial guarantees, this treatment is far lower than that of regular civil servants.
They do not have the pension insurance for employees owned by civil servants, and can only participate in the new rural insurance purchased by ordinary farmers, and their salaries and benefits are also determined by local research, and do not follow the way of paying civil servants by rank.
In addition, there are many aspects in which the village party secretary is very different from the personnel in the system.
For example, village party secretaries are not out of work, that is to say, although they are in the position of "village leaders," they are still ordinary peasants in nature, and they cannot leave their jobs to work or do business.
For example, civil servants cannot start their own businesses, but village party secretaries can, as long as they do not go out and leave their jobs.
So since the village party secretary is not a civil servant in the establishment who eats public meals in the strict sense, does he have no room and possibility for promotion within the establishment?
Not really!
According to the mainland's "Regulations of the Communist Party on the Work of Rural Grassroots Organizations," village party secretaries, college students, village officials, selected and transferred students, and personnel in the establishment of township and town undertakings who have performed well and made outstanding contributions during their tenure of office are all eligible to participate in the examination for township and town civil servants and personnel in the establishment of township and town undertakings.
To put it simply, the village party secretary can continue to be promoted to the cadre position in the system, and in real cases, there are indeed many examples of the village party secretary passing the examination and successfully being elected as the local deputy mayor, and then entering the system and being promoted all the way.
Of course, if you want to be promoted in the system, in addition to the basic assessment, you also have to meet some hard requirements, such as age, length of service and educational qualifications.
These restrictions vary slightly by region, with some places requiring candidates to be under the age of 40 and others under the age of 45.
Some townships and townships stipulate that candidates must serve as village party secretaries for more than three consecutive years, while others require five years.
The educational threshold is also slightly different, with some places not requiring academic qualifications, while others require a high degree of Chinese credential.
All in all, it is possible for the village party secretary to be promoted to a national civil servant, but this road is not easy!
