Arroyo denounced the political opposition of conspiring with “authoritarians of the extreme Left represented by the NDF-CPP-NPA and the extreme Right, represented by military adventurists” who are “now in a tactical alliance” and “a concerted and systematic conspiracy” to “bring down the duly constituted government elected in May 2004” (Philippine Daily Inquirer, 25 February).
Inuupakan ni Arroyo ang oposisyon sa pakikipag-sabwatan nito sa mga “awtoritaryan ng dulong kaliwa na kinakatawan ng NDF-CPP-NPA at ang dulong kanan na kinakatawan naman ng mga adbenturistang militar ” na di-umano “sa ngayon ay nasa isang taktikal na alyansa” at kumikilos ng “isang sama-sama at sistematikong sabwatan” upang “maibagsak ang lehitimo na binotong gobyerno noong 2004” (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Pebrero 25).
