Thousands of calling to draw Vice -President Filipin Sara Duterte | News about politics
The daughter of the former president is confronted with three complaints about the alleged abuse of millions of public funds.
Thousands of protesters took place on the streets of Manila to demand the Imperatin Vice -President of Filipin Sara Duterte.
Protesters in the capital held posters calling for Duterete removal and sang “Impuach! Impeach Sara Now!” While they were gathering on Friday morning. About 4,000 people participated in the rally, police said, and the authorities implemented 7,400 police officers.
A larger rally was held earlier this month by a conservative sect that opposes calls for the imperative calls that were addressed in December.
Duterte is facing three complaints about allegedly inconsistent behavior and abuse of millions of dollars in government funds when she was a minister of education under the management of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The legislators have not yet resolved them just a few days before the congress was postponed next week before the May election.
Member of the House of Representatives Percival Cendan, who supported one of the complaints on the Imperial, pressed his colleagues to move quickly. Every day of inactivity “approves of impunity, abuse of power and harassment that Duterte makes the leaders of our country,” he told reporters.
Impeachment will only continue if it is supported by a third of the members of the House of Representatives, and a relaxed official can be removed from his duties with two -thirds voting in Senate.
“The Philippines are here, ready to advocate for truth and justice. Let’s not let them down,” Cendana said.
But from the transient set of pro-duterte, which attracted an estimated 1.5 million people, questions about the Congress’s appetite were raised to act on appeals before the medium-term elections.
The Secretary General of the Home said that the legislative body awaits a potential fourth appeal before referring them to the speaker.
The 46-year-old vice president, who was alienated by Marcos, but remains his constitutional heir in case he is not able to perform his duties, denied the charges against her, calling them politically motivated.
Since her public split with Marcos Jr last year, she had threatened the president, the first lady and the speaker with the assassination.
In October, she told reporters that her relationship with Marcos had become so “toxic” that she sometimes imagined a head of his head.
Duterte and Marcos ran on the platform of unity when they ran in tandem in the 2022 national elections.
Duterte is the daughter of Marcos’s predecessor, Rodrigo Dutertewhich is known for its raw language and controversial against drugs that is Under the Investigation of the International Criminal Court.
Marcos himself called on the Congress not to follow Duterte’s imperative, calling him a “storm in a glass” that would distract the legislation from his primary responsibilities.
