Communist group calls Duterte ‘doublespeaking thug’

From Update.Ph (Feb 9): Communist group calls Duterte ‘doublespeaking thug’

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) on Wednesday released a statement condemning President Rodrigo Duterte for “arbitrarily terminating the GRP-NDFP peace negotiations.”

“Duterte is proving to the NDFP and the people how difficult it is to conduct serious negotiations with a doublespeaking thug who only recognizes his own rules. He is presenting himself a charlatan who does not know the true meaning of just and lasting peace,” the communist group said.

CPP refuted the President’s claim that he did everything for peace talks to happen.

“Duterte has in fact done very little to advance peace talks. Indeed, he released 18 NDFP consultants, because otherwise he would have no one to talk to,” it said.

“He has also failed to release all political prisoners, a promise he has repeatedly made,” CPP added.

The group also denounce President Duterte’s declaration of CPP-NPA-NDFP as terrorist group.

“In doing so, Duterte has effectively joined the US imperialists in its terrorist-tagging just a few days after his negotiating panel agreed to ask the US to remove the CPP, NPA and Prof. Jose Ma. Sison from its list of so-called foreign terrorists.”
