President Rodrigo Duterte unleashed a string of tirades against the European Union on Tue, Sep 20, after the European Union condemned the wave of killings under his administration.
“I read the condemnation of the EU against me. I will tell them, fuck you,” said potty-mouth Duterte at the Sulong Pilipinas-Local Governance Dialogues at SMX Convention Center in Davao City.
Member countries of the EU had earlier released a statement calling for an investigation into the mounting death toll in the Philippines to comply with “national and international obligations and respect for human rights.”
Their statement did not sit well with the Philippine president, obviously.
Duterte said that EU members have become strict about the behavior of other nations due to their “guilt feelings” about occupying other countries in the past.
“You’re doing it in atonement for your sins,” Duterte pointed out.
Describing the EU as hypocrites, he said that a look at history books will reveal the atrocities that EU member countries committed. He singled out France and Britain for killing Arabs.
“And then EU now has the gall to condemn me. I repeat it, fuck you,” he said.
