New DND secretary as fascist backstopper to ensure continuity of lame duck regime--CPP

[Editorial Staff]

PRESS RELEASE Information Bureau Communist Party of the Philippines New DND secretary as fascist backstopper to ensure continuity of lame duck regime--CPP November 15, 2009 The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today lambasted the appointment of National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales as outgoing defense secretary Gilberto Teodoro's replacement. "The appointment of the clerico-fascist Gonzales as the new defense chief is meant not only to heighten the fascist policies and measures of his predecessor and of the US-Arroyo regime. His strategic placement is specifically designed to ensure the perpetuation in power of the ruling regime in the likelihood of its failure to convincingly bag the 2010 elections," the CPP stated. The CPP noted that in all surveys, it is the main opposition candidates that are way ahead in the lead and that the Arroyo regime's presidential, vice presidential and senatorial candidates are all hopelessly hogging the bottom. "Such a wide chasm between the survey performances of the opposition and the regime candidates will be very difficult to override even through massive cheating and other usual foul means," said the CPP. "Thus, the lame duck regime is now more determinedly putting in place a 'failure of elections and transition government scenario' which the new defense secretary has long been blatantly pushing," the CPP added. Significantly, said the CPP, Malacañang has never tried to tone down Gonzales' persistent push for such a scenario. "There are growing signs that the ruling regime will force and justify such a scenario, among them the many hitches in the Comelec's poll automation system and even the threat of power failure during election day itself," the CPP noted. The CPP described Gonzales as "an out-and-out fascist whose main preoccupation in life is to witchhunt and persecute patriots, democrats, progressives, communists and other critics of the reactionary, puppet ruling regime and system. He is the chief creator of trumped-up legal cases to prosecute these critics and one of the masterminds and chief perpetrators of extrajudicial killings, abductions, torture, persecution, political repression and other fascist atrocities in the country." The CPP called on the Filipino people to be vigilant, to persevere in their resistance and fight, and to ensure the failure of the fascist and foul moves of Gonzales and the entire ruling regime as they desperately seek to perpetuate their hold on power and try keep the people forever subjugated and oppressed.
