搁贰础顿:听Palace: December plot vs Duterte credible
鈥淚 am not aware of any month that is designated by any organization for the ouster of Duterte. I am not aware of any December ouster plot,鈥 Sison told 黑料社.
鈥淎s far as I know through the National Democratic Front of the Philippines Negotiating Panel (NDFP), the CPP is not plotting to oust Duterte in December,鈥 he added.
Sison asserted that the Red October plot was only an invention of Duterte to 鈥渢o ward off his fear that he will soon be ousted by a military mutiny.鈥
鈥淭he so-called Red October plot was a fabrication of Duterte and his military minions. It would be wiser for the Duterte regime to negotiate with the NDFP than to misrepresent the CPP and NPA (New People鈥檚 Army) as plotting to oust him and thereby get an excuse to declare martial law nationwide,鈥 he said. /kga
