(Eagle News)–Communist Party of the Philippines founding chair Jose Maria Sison described President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs as “fake,” saying the chief executive himself was “openly protecting major drug lords and smugglers” including his son, Paolo.
In fact, according to Sison, the war on drugs “has been carried out to suppress the drug syndicates that rival the Duterte drug syndicate and to realize the monopoly of the Duterte drug syndicate over the illegal drug trade.
He said the narcolists Duterte made public were but mere ways to “deflect attention from the real drug lords and discredit his political opponents.”
“Duterte has systematically used the mass murder of drug suspects to criminalize and corrupt the (Philippine National Police) and turn it into a private army and criminal accomplice of the Duterte drug syndicate,” Sison said.
He said Duterte has also “maliciously used the mass murder of the poor drug suspects to cause the mass intimidation of the people in a scheme of state terrorism and paving the way for a fascist dictatorship through charter change to a bogus type of federalism.”
“Duterte’s evil purpose is to amass wealth from the illegal drug trade and to justify his license to kill and intimidate the people,” he added.
