Drug syndicates itinuro ng Palasyo sa summary killings

KINOMPIRMA ng Palasyo, ang nagaganap na patayan kaugnay sa drug war ng administrasyong Duterte ay kagagawan nang magkakaribal na sindikato ng droga.

Ito ang pahayag ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo hinggil sa akusasyon ng Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) na nagsusulong ng extrajudicial killings ang kampanya kontra-droga ng gobyerno at ginagamit si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at pondo ng gobyerno nang magkakalabang drug syndicate.

“As far as we are concerned, the killings are being made by drug pushers themselves, killing each other,” ani Panelo.

Hilaw pa aniya ang sitwasyon para akusahan ng CPP na extrajudicial killings ang nangyayaring patayan dahil wala pang imbestigasyon na magpapatunay sa bintang ng komunistang grupo.

“Parang they are already concluding that there is being extrajudicial salvaging. That statement would be premature because there is not at this time, any investigation showing that there has been extrajudicial killings,” ani Panelo.

Naniniwala ang Malacañang na matatalakay ang nasabing isyu sa peace talk sa Oslo, Norway sa Agosto 20-27.

“That is why there will be talks. That is you should be part of the discussion,” aniya.

Kamakalawa, sinabi ng CPP, ginagamit ang drug war ni Duterte nang magkakaribal na narco-politician at ang pondo pa ng gobyerno ang ginagastos upang mas lalong makapangunyapit sa reaksiyonaryong estado.

“The ‘drug war’ is set to spiral into a war among the criminal drug syndicates, between one narco-politician against another, using the resources of the state and to further entrench themselves in the reactionary state,” ayon CPP.

“In all likelihood, many of the summary and vigilante killings are being carried out by the criminal syndicates who use the ‘anti-drug war’ as camouflage for waging all-out war against their rivals and their rival protectors in the police, bureaucracy and judiciary or to rub-out their own men,” anila.
