Lawmaker urges Comelec to immediately throw out nuisance complaints against Anakpawis, sister party-lists
Anakpawis Representative and political detainee Crispin Beltran this afternoon reacted to a report of GMA Network News that two women earlier today filed a motion at the Commission on elections calling for the disqualification of Anakpawis Party-list and its sister progressive party-lists. According to reports, the two women had their heads and faces covered with a shawl as they entered the Comelec and filed the said motion.
"We have no doubt that this another harassment tactic aimed at crippling our campaign and intent to secure seats in congress," said Beltran. "The Comelec should dismiss these nuisance motions. Anakpawis Party-list is by all accounts a credible political party already registered and accredited by the Comelec, and we have won two seats in the last elections. Not even Malacanang can have us disqualified on the basis of the black propaganda being spread by the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the office of National security adviser Norberto Gonzales."
"We urge Comelec chief Benjamin Abalos to immediately dismiss such nuisance motions and complaints against our progressive party-lists. In turn, we pledge our full commitment to help and assist the Comelec in monitoring the elections in May and proofing them as much as we can against fraud."
Beltran said that it was evident that the AFP or Norberto Gonzales' dirty tricks department were behind the nuisance motion. "In the regions and provinces, the AFP are already monitored of campaigning actively against Anakpawis and its sister parties. Trhe AFP leadership is issuing bald-faced lies when they say that the AFP troops are prohibited from being partisan, " he said.
The activist lawmaker and Anakpawis first nominee said that it was certain that Malacanang and its various political think-tanks and intelligence units will try to come up with more attempts to undermine the participation of Ankpawis and its sister parties in the elections.
"The incumbent administration is in power primarily because of fraudulent means. In its desperation to remain in power, it will not stop at anything to defeat the sectors, groups and individuals who are well-justified in opposing and exposing it's illegitimacy and continuing corruption."
