President Duterte had responded to criticism after the European Parliament issued a resolution urging Philippine authorities to launch an immediate investigation into the rising death toll in his administration's war on drugs. President Duterte has two words for them: "F--you."
He made this pronouncement on Tuesday in a speech at the Sulong Pilipinas-Local Governance Dialogues at SMX Convention Center in Davao City.
“Iyong nabasa ko ang EU condemnation sa akin, sabihin ko sa kanila, 'F— you.' You are doing it in atonement of your sins. Ginawa nilang istrikto-istrikto kasi may guilt feelings iyan sila. Ako dito, sino ang pinatay ko, assuming it to be true? 1,007? Who are they? Criminals? You call it genocide? Ilan ang pinatay nila?”
President Duterte pointed out that some European nations also committed human rights violations while occupying other countries in the past.
“Tapos itong EU ngayon has the gall to condemn me. Sige, I repeat it, f— you,” he said, before raising his middle finger as the audience applauded.
The European Parliament on the other hand, which is composed of 28 lawmakers from the European countries, has stated its support to fight illegal drugs as it "remain a serious and national concern." It also urged the administration to "launch an 'immediate investigation' into them and adopt 'specific, comprehensive policies and programmes', in full compliance with national and international obligations and respect for human rights."
