(Prey Veng): Cambodian President of the Senate, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, affirmed that no party in Cambodia has internal democracy as strong as the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), which every policy decision is discussed and consulted from top to bottom.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen spoke on Thursday (Jul. 3) during a meeting with students and teachers at the Chea Sim Komchaymear Education and Training Centre in Prey Veng province.

Samdech Techo said that some parties boast that their party is democratic and accuse the CPP of being communist, but each congress meeting takes only 2 hours, unlike the CPP, each party congress meeting takes at least two days to discuss the democratic process in the party.

"No party has more internal democracy than the CPP. Some parties hold meetings for just two hours. What is there to discuss? But the CPP’s joint congress meeting, known as the Central Committee Meeting, takes at least two days to deliberate on the internal democratic process. It is not merely about calling meetings for the sake of applause," Samdech Techo underscored.

Samdech Techo added that for the CPP, before any policy is issued, the draft policy is sent to the grassroots and has been revised before the Congress is opened and further amendments are made for reasonableness for implementation. However, the special feature of the CPP is that once the party has decided, it uses the method of collective leadership, the individual is responsible, the minority respects the majority, democratic centralism.

Samdech Techo affirmed that the strength of the CPP is that no one can break it, even though sometimes there are different opinions, but this is the process of democracy in the party.

At the same time, Samdech Techo also spoke about the greatest pride of the CPP, which started from the movement from different regions, different times, from 5 groups, but with a common goal to form a single political party and have the strongest solidarity that no one can break.
