Solon slams National Security adviser and his plans to run for congress: "Si Gonzales ang klase ng kongresistang ipapalit sa mga katulad naman ni Rep. Ocampo?!"
Anakpawis Representative and political detainee Crispin Beltran today said that it was highly ironic that National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales is setting his sights on a position in congress even as progressive lawmakers led by Bayan Muna Satur Ocampo is being threatened with arrest.
"Si Gonzales ang klase ng kongresistang ipapalit sa mga katulad naman ni Rep. Ocampo?!"
According to reports, Gonzales is set to resign from his post within the month to seek a congressional seat in the second district of Bataan in the May polls. He is the chairman of the Partido Demokratiko Sosyalista ng Pilipinas, a member of the administration coalition.
"It's a tragedy and a harsh insult against Filipinos that it's the likes of Norberto Gonzales that the government wants to put in Congress. The Macapagal-Arroyo government is bending, twisting and breaking the law to discredit, disenfranchise and disqualify progressive and genuinely pro-poor and pro-people party-lists like Anakpawis, Bayan Muna and Gabriela Women's Party, and criminalize their top leaders. To what ends? To put the likes of war-mongerer, human rights violator Norberto Gonzales," he said.
Beltran echoed the assertion of Ocampo in saying that the series of attacks and harassment campaign against the progressive partylists where the brainchild of the Inter-Agency Legal
Action Group formed on the strength of Pres. Arroyo's Executive Order 493. The IALAG was tasked to study the possible cases to be filed against supposed enemies of state. The group in consisted of the Department of Justice, the National Bureau of Investigation and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
"The IALAG is being led by Norberto Gonzales. He will most assuredly cheat and lie himself to congress with the help of the AFP and the PNP who are being utilized in a nationwide harassment campaign and killing spree against the progressive party-lists and its members."
