Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng has said that Macao will continue to improve its legal system and implementation mechanism for safeguarding national security, in order to ensure long-term prosperity and stability of the special administrative region.
During a reception to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR), attended by 1,000 guests, Ho also said that “the government will continue to advance a string of development and construction projects, based on the interests of the population.”
Ho underlined that Macao has fulfilled its constitutional responsibilities, safeguarded the nation’s sovereignty, security, and development interests, adhered to the fundamental principle of “patriots governing Macao” and successfully completed the election of the seventh Legislative Assembly, implemented the central government’s Macao-related policies and promoted the development of the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.
MSAR 22nd Anniversary
The chief executive also said that the government “actively connected Macao with the national 14th Five-Year Plan and launched the MSAR’s second five-year plan, coordinated Covid-19 prevention and control measures and economic and social recovery and development, and vigorously promoted people’s livelihood and the overall economy.
“Macao’s development momentum has gradually stabilised and improved,” he said.
The chief executive also mentioned that in the process of fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and promoting economic recovery in 2021, “all sectors of civil society and the general population have cooperated with and supported the government.
“They have fully promoted the tradition of helping each other, taking into account the overall situation, and watching and helping each other, thereby demonstrating selfless dedication and self-improvement while facing adversity,” he said.
Looking forward to the new year, Ho pledged that the local government will implement the goals and tasks of his 2022 Policy Address and second five-year plan, in accordance with the policy of “preventing the epidemic, stabilising the economic recovery, protecting people’s livelihoods, promoting diversity, strengthening cooperation and seeking development”, The Macau Post Daily reported.

Government proposes ‘patriots only’ in future elections
Second Five-Year Plan outlines guarantee that ‘the governing power of the MSAR remains firmly in the hands of patriots’.

macaonews.org/politics/government-proposes-patriots-only-in-future-elections/
Macao’s electoral system is likely to change to ensure only patriots can stand for office, it has emerged. The proposal is set out in the government’s second Five-Year Plan. It reads:
“Through the improvement of the electoral regime of the Macao Special Administrative Region, namely through the elaboration of positive and negative lists on the requirements of the oath of allegiance, the establishment of a mechanism for verification of qualification, among others, the exercise of the functions of MPs will be regulated, guaranteeing that the governing power of the MSAR remains firmly in the hands of patriots”.
The government also undertakes to “firmly safeguard the Central Government’s decision-making power over [Macao’s] political system, including the electoral system, by implementing the fundamental principle of ‘Macao governed by patriots’ unconditionally”.
Last September’s election significantly excluded the pro-democracy camp, after the Macao Court of Final Instance upheld the decision of the electoral commission that accused the pro-democrats of not upholding the Basic Law and of being “disloyal” to the territory.
