漫议暂缓建设海沧PX项目(4):别搬起石头砸自己的脚
厦门网[原海峡网] www.xmnn.cn 2007-06-03 08:53 [来源：厦门日报]
连日来，极少数人不听政府劝阻，一意孤行，参与非法游行集会，已经严重影响了我市正常的生产生活秩 序，给广大市民带来了极大的不便，也破坏了厦门的良好形象，我们对此给予严厉谴责。公安部门已发出通告，严正指出这两天的集会、游行是非法活动，系由个别 人违法煽动造成的。
诚然，集会、游行是公民基本的民主权利，我国宪法明确规定，中华人民共和国公民有集 会、游行、示威的自由。但是，别忘了，集会也好，游行也罢，必须在严格遵守国家法律的前提下进行，必须维护社会安定和公共秩序。在《中华人民共和国集会游 行示威法》这部专门法中，就对集会游行示威的界定、申请、许可、举行以及法律责任均做了详尽的规定，将集会游行示威纳入法治的轨道。如果我们的集会游行置 法律于不顾，偏离了法治轨道，那么，就是非法活动，就是违法，理所当然地就要受到法律的制裁。
可以这么说，6月1日、2日我市连续发生的非法集会游行，完全是由极个别人煽动造成 的。参与集会游行的绝大多数人，恐怕至今还蒙在鼓里，可能还没有意识到自己的行为已经触犯了法律。在此，我们劝告那些参与集会游行的人，必须悬崖勒马，立 刻停止一切非法活动；必须提高警惕，千万不要上了极个别人的当。对于那些知法犯法、怀着不可告人的目的，大力唆使和怂恿不明真相与不明法理的市民上街游行 的极个别人，法律是无情的，必将对其严惩。
应该说，政府对这次有极少数人参与的集会和游行活动，是极其克制的，也是做了大量的解 释和说服工作的。海沧PX项目已经停建，更大范围的环评正在抓紧进行。政府相信大多数参与集会和游行的市民出发点是好的，是热爱厦门，珍惜今天来之不易的 大好局面的。但是，如果有人把政府的克制和忍耐看做是理亏，那就大错特错了。对少数人参与的集会和游行，广大市民群众已经表示了严厉的愤慨，一些投资商也 表示极大的不满，他们强烈要求政府尽快采取行动，处置这一事端，恢复厦门安定稳定的良好形势。我们奉劝极少数人尽快停止非法集会游行，否则，只会是搬起石 头砸自己的脚。

Hundreds protest against China chemical plant

BEIJING, June 1 (Reuters) - Hundreds of protesters wearing gas masks and holding banners marched through a city in southeast China on Friday, demanding the government scrap, not just put off, plans to build a chemical plant, a witness said.
Xiamen, a port city of about 1.5 million people centred on an island in the eastern province of Fujian, announced on Wednesday it was suspending construction of a plant to make paraxylene (PX), a petrochemical that goes into polyester and fabrics.
Angry locals had denounced the project as an "atomic bomb" threatening the seaside environment, and they claimed to have circulated nearly a million mobile phone text messages urging families and friends in protest against the plant.
"On my way to work today, I saw a lot of people marching on the main streets, holding banners and some wearing gas masks," a computer engineer surnamed Huang told Reuters.
"One of the banners said ‘don’t suspend, cancel the plant’," he said.
"If the project goes ahead, it will damage the environment and a lot of people’s health as it is close to the city centre."
Huang said he and some friends and neighbours had all received text messages organising citizens to join the protest.
China’s leaders have promised to clean up skies and water degraded by decades of unchecked growth, and environmental agencies are increasingly vocal about officials who push industrial projects without assessing the impact.
But many local governments remain eager to boost employment and revenues even if the environment suffers.
