In a statement, NDFP chief political consultant Jose Maria Sison said Duterte should formally make a ceasefire offer, which the NDFP and the Communist Party of the Philippines will study

the NDFP has gotten reports that the concentration of Duterte’s military and police forces is meant not to help in the fight against Covid-19 but to suppress the people’s democratic movement in the urban areas.

President Duterte’s renewed order to government forces to crush the communist insurgents before his term ends on 2022 was bound to fail again.

„Solidarität mit dir gegen die antikommunistische Hetzkampagne und gegen die gefährlichen Drohungen, die das protofaschistische Duterte-Regime gegen dich ausgestoßen hat“ - unter dieser Überschrift hat das Zentralkomitee der MLPD eine Solidaritätserklärung für den Gründungsvorsitzenden der Kommunistischen Partei der Philippinen, José Maria Sison, verfasst:

Migrante International is extremely troubled by the reported threats against NDFP Chief Consultant Prof. Jose Ma. ‘Joma’ Sison.

The Dutch Police warned Prof. Sison that they received reports of new threats to his security

“Any threats against Professor Sison or any member of the NDFP peace panel is certain to derail any resumption of the peace talks,”

That the Dutch police went to visit ‘Joma’ last week and warn him to take precautionary measures indicates that the Dutch authorities have become aware of and are taking seriously the threats against ‘Joma’.
