NR0830: killing the impeachment complaint
From the Office of Anakpawis Rep. Crispin Beltran
News Release August 30,2005
No rest or sighs of relief for PGMA and allies even if they succeed in killing the impeachment complaint
Anakpawis Representative Crispin Beltran today said that Pres.Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her allies in Congress will still not be allowed to heave sighs of relief even if they succeed in junking the impeachment complaint against Arroyo. He said that anti-impeachment lawmakers were acting extremely against the will of the people and their stand that the corrupt and illegitimate president be immediately replaced. Latest independent surveys point out that 80% of Filipinos interviewed were unanimous in supporting impeachment moves versus Arroyo.
“Mrs. Arroyo and her allies are only fanning the flames of disquiet with their underhanded moves to dismiss the impeachment complaint,” he said.
“They’re pushing the Filipino people to take more definitive and decisive action in the form of public protests and demonstrations. They will have no one to blame but themselves.”
“They should not be allowed to forget that they have colluded in the most shameless way to kill a very legitimate impeachment complaint, and they have done so using the weakest, restrictive legal technicalities.”
“They have colluded to block the truth from being fully exposed to the public, and by doing so they themselves have betrayed their duties as public servants to stand against crime and corruption in government. By refusing to hear the evidence proving her corruption and other abuses, and by aiding and supporting Macapagal-Arroyo in her bid to kill the impeachment complaint, they have also become indirect party to the impeachable offenses she is being accused of.”
“(anti-impeachment solons) They have proven themselves to be fully in the pocket of a corrupt and illegitimate presidency, further exposing the hypocrisy in assertions that the legislative branch is an independent institution from the executive.”
Beltran said that even if Macapagal-Arroyo survives the impeachment process and kills the impeachment complaint against her, she will never be able to recover and public opinion will continue to turn against her. “Even without going through an impeachment trial, Macapagal-Arroyo continues to expose herself to be a corrupt and inept leader. Even as she asserts her claim to the presidency, most Filipinos are convinced that she became president only through massive cheating.
Electoral fraud is only one of the impeachable offenses she can committed, and the others are much more serious as their impact on the lives and welfare of the poor majority continue to worsen every day.”
Beltran said that the relentless oil price hikes, plunging value of the peso and the increasing poverty and unemployment levels which Macapagal-Arroyo has failed to arrest are issues that will ensure Macapagal-Arroyo’s ouster.
“The end is already in sight for this corrupt administration. Unless she declares martial law and unleashes the full power of the military against a restive public, she will not survive this recent crisis,”he said.#
