“亲民、负责”,是十六大以来以胡锦涛为总书记的新一代党中央领导身先士卒、着力倡导的执政取向。温家宝在当选总理后的记者招待会上,掷地有声地发出誓言:“我是一个有信念、敢负责的人。”一个负责任的政府,其责任不能虚置,问责必须问到具体的人;刚刚继任一个月的卫生部部长张文康,多次宣称“非典”已得到“有效控制”,又终因事实上防治“非典”不力,成为新一届政府中第一位被免职的部长。中央免去张文康和孟学农的职务,被海外媒体视为“史无前例的果断措施”和对各级官员的“一次灵魂深处的震撼教育”,认为此举表明新一代领导人决心与时俱进,塑造执政新风气和新形象的努力,不会因为若干官员的官僚习气和墨守成规而打断 “People First and Responsibility” are the new generation of party leaders headed by President Hu Jintao with General Secretary Hu Jintao since the 16th CPC National Congress.
