Peace negotiations in the Philippines are unacceptable and should not take place, Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding Chairman Jose Maria “Joma” Sison said on Saturday.
Sison pointed out that this precondition set by President Rodrigo Duterte for the resumption of the peace talks would put the National Democratic Front of the Philippines in jeopardy.
Sison welcomed the idea and said he had never closed the door to peace negotiations with the government “under Duterte or any other President.” He added that Esperon should not try to gain from “cheap ephemeral psywar” and sabotage the possibility of resuming the peace negotiations in a “foreign neutral venue” before the mutual approval of the Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms.
Parlade said Oplan Hades, a plan to target government officials, was renewed to add Año, Esperon and Capuyan because of the creation of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict .
