President Duterte has hit back at some European lawmakers for allegedly meddling in the country’s affairs, according to Presidential spokesman Harry Roque.
The European Parliament recently approved a resolution deploring the alleged poor human rights situation in the Philippines and backed calls for a United Nations probe into the alleged killings related to the drug war. The parliament’s controversial resolution was tackled by the President at length during a meeting with some Cabinet members in Davao City Monday night.
“Mahaba ang diskusyon ni Presidente tungkol kay Leila De Lima kung bakit hindi po siya talaga nakakulong as a political prisoner, kung hindi as a common criminal related to drug charges, the same thing with Maria Ressa ,” Roque said.
