Vietnam’s President Vo Van Thuong resigns amid anticorruption campaign

ER Editor: We had covered the sudden stepping down of globalist / WEF stooge and Irish PM Leo Varadkar. See here. This article gives us a (short) list of mostly EU-World Economic Forum figures to have stepped down in the last couple of years. Now there’s another step-down of a prominent political figure – the President of Vietnam, Vo Van Thuong, who hadn’t been in power much more than a year. And it seems that in Vietnam, other senior figures guilty of corruption are being caught according to the Al Jazeera report below.

We offer the following tweets to further pique our curiosity. There could be more going on …

WHAT IS GOING ON? …………………DEEP STATE DROPOUTS

Vietnam’s President Resigns After Just Over a Year in Office

Vietnam’s President Vo Van Thuong resigns amid anticorruption campaign

Governing party says that Thuong’s ‘shortcomings’ had negatively affected the reputation of the party and the state.

Vietnam President Vo Van Thuong has resigned after a little more than a year in office due to “violations” and “shortcomings”, the governing Communist Party has said.

Thuong is the second president to resign in two years amid an anticorruption crackdown that has seen several senior politicians fired and top business leaders tried for fraud and corruption.

The Vietnamese Communist Party said in a statement on Wednesday that the resignation had been accepted and that “violations and shortcomings by Vo Van Thuong have left a bad mark on the reputation of the Communist party.”

The government statement did not elaborate on Thuong’s shortcomings, but they are likely linked with the “blazing furnace” anti-bribery campaign aimed at stamping out widespread corruption.

Foreign investors and diplomats have repeatedly blamed the campaign for slowing down decisions in a country already grappling with a large amount of bureaucracy.

The president holds a largely ceremonial role but is one of the top four political positions in the Southeast Asian nation.

​​Thuong’s resignation came after weeks of rumours suggesting that he would be removed from office, and on the eve of a special session of Vietnam’s parliament dedicated to “personnel matters”.

Days earlier, Vietnamese police announced the arrest of a former head of central Vietnam’s Quang Ngai province for alleged corruption a decade ago, who served while Thuong was party chief there.
