The allegations of NSA adviser Norberto Gonzales is a desperate move of a very desperate man.

Again with the red-baiting

The recent allegation made by National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales, with assent from his patron President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, that Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, Gabriela, Anak ng Bayan, Migrante and Suara Bangsamoro are CPP "front organizations" is really a desperate move of a very desperate man. It just seeks to demonize these progressive party-list groups to prevent them from entering congress as real representatives of the people unlike his pathetic PDSP or other pseudo-progressives.

If he really has hard evidence, then where is it? All he did was to churn out press releases and malign our good name. Yet, he is not even worthy of the position he now holds. Talk about political accommodation.

For the record, Anakpawis and all its sister parties are legitimate and legal party-list organizations, which were formed to represent the marginalized in Congress, if unscrupulous people like Gonzales say otherwise present your evidence and see you in court.
