There were thousands of attendees

Village cadres who violated discipline and held funeral banquets were punished

In recent years, many places have issued documents to regulate the handling of weddings and funerals by party-member leading cadres, taking Sichuan as an example, as early as 2014, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Department of Supervision formulated the "Interim Regulations on Leading Cadres' Handling of Weddings and Funerals". According to the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, since 2018, the investigation and handling of illegal operations in Sichuan Province has shown a good trend of continuous decline, with a cumulative decrease of 79.1%, which has played a great driving role in curbing outdated habits such as large-scale operations in society.

On March 3, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission released a report saying that Sichuan not only focused on the key group of leading cadres, but also extended its attention to the vast number of party-member cadres and public employees, urging all relevant departments in various localities to carry out large-scale management of rural affairs and high-priced bride price.

The report also listed specific cases, in November 2022, Zhu Moumou, the leader of the 11th group in Baiyang Village, Wangjia Town, Huangxian County, Yibin City, and his daughter-in-law Li Moumou (a comprehensive specialist in Baiyang Village), despite knowing the new wind of the "white affairs and simple affairs" banquet, still falsely reported and violated discipline to hold a funeral banquet, with more than 6,1000 accompanying people, causing adverse effects. In December of the same year, Zhu Moumou and Li Moumou were severely warned and punished by the party respectively. (End)
