Lorenzana blasts ‘insincere’ Joma

Lorenzana noted Sison’s name calling of President Rodrigo Duterte as a “political swindler and butcher” for him to consider his lack of sincerity.

Lorenzana also criticized Sison for insisting on holding the peace talks in a foreign country like Norway, instead of the Philippines, in resolving a purely domestic conflict.

“The reaction of Sison to the peace talks does not help. What is wrong when the President said ‘we should first study the agreements,” he said.

“What the President wanted is to hold the peace talks here in the country,” Lorenzana added.

Lorenzana blasted Sison ”for ordering the NPA [to conduct] an all-out war and oust the President.”

“What I can say, Mr. Sison, just come home and we will talk about what you are fighting for, otherwise if you don’t come back here we will talk to the local NPA leaders, and you will be irrelevant and you will be consigned to the dustbin of history,” Lorenzana added.

Sison’s safety is being assured by no less than the President.
