PHILIPPINE VICE PRESIDENT TAKES PRESIDENT DUTERTE’S DRUG CZAR POST OFFER

살인 없는 마약과의 전쟁? 가능할까?
두테르테 VS 로브레도



내용요약 (Summary)

The cold war between the Philippine President and his Vice President might have come to its peak after the latter’s criticism of the government’s controversial war on drugs.

With the Vice President’s acceptance of the job offered to her as the new leader of the President’s drug crackdown, one could expect her to fail and another could hope she succeeds.

The Vice President’s comments that the drug war has primarily targeted the poor and that the policy “is not working” in an interview with Reuters and subsequent media appearances could have been the last straw for the President. This led to the offer to have powers over the drug war for six months.

Before she announced her acceptance of his offer last November 06, her allies had warned her that it was a trap and that she was set to fail.

Meanwhile, President Duterte’s loyalists had urged her to take the offer as this was her chance to prove that she wasn’t all talk.

As she has decided to take the offer, Amnesty International, which has accused the President of crimes against humanity in connection with the drug war, also praised her.

What can be expected from this recent turn of events?
