Personally implement the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations, and strictly correct the "four winds". We must deepen the investigation and governance of both the customs and corruption, strictly punish the interweaving problems of "same investigation", and use "same governance" to eradicate the common roots of the customs and corruption, and use "same governance" to eliminate the common roots of the customs and corruption, and use "investigation" and "governance" to block the evolution of the customs and corruption. "May Day" is approaching, and discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels will strengthen pre-holiday education reminders, broaden channels for problem clues, increase supervision and inspection efforts, strictly investigate and deal with problems, and strive to create a holiday atmosphere with a clean and upright atmosphere.
