Rodrigo Duterte
One of the opposition deputies submitted to the Philippine Congress demand impeachment of President Rodrigo Duterte. On Thursday, March 16, according to Reuters.
Gary Alejano accused the President of exceeding his authority and abuse the trust of the people. According to the MP, thus the opposition will “find a voice, to fight the crimes of the President.”
“We know it will be an uphill battle (…) But we believe that many will support us”, — said the Deputy.
The lawyer of the head of state Salvador Panelo called the initiative Aleana “black propaganda,” noting that nothing could harm the reputation of Duterte.
In early March, a former senior police officer has accused the country’s President in more than 200 murders committed without a trial.
29 December last year, the Philippine leader has threatened to corrupt officials that will drop them from a helicopter. “I’ve done it before, so why not do it again?” he said. Later he denied these statements.
Two weeks before Duterte during a public speech admitted that he personally participated in the killings of criminals. According to him, this was during the period when he was mayor of Davao city.
