Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka have been officially appointed as the elected President and Vice President of Indonesia since April 24, 2024. The appointment was made by the General Election Commission, after the Constitutional Court decided to reject all complaints from the presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairs with number 1 and number 3.
The 2024 Presidential Election is filled with various controversies, starting from a decision by the Constitutional Court that allowed President Joko Widodo's eldest son to become Prabowo Subianto's vice presidential candidate.
The decision of the Constitutional Court has divided the community, leaving deep disappointment for some groups who feel their conscience and sense of justice have been violated by a series of processes that are said to be fraught with ethical violations.
The people already know what is happening with all of this. The healthy reasoning and conscience of the people say that something unpleasant has happened in the process of democracy in this country.
The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, as the parent party of Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka, feels all of it as a "small earthquake" that makes all members, branch executives, districts, regions, and the highest ranks of the party's symbol of the white-nosed bull need to reflect, contemplate, and interpret what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen to the party that has won three elections (2014, 2019, 2024) in the coming years.
There are no at the moment, please provide the original Indonesian article.
The 2024 presidential election is the most impressive dynamic and romance for the PDI-P, which is already full of the sour and salty tastes of national politics.
It's time for PDI-P to become commander-in-chief and loyal guardian of the upholding of democracy in this country amidst the recent emergence of phenomena and symptoms of unhealthy democracy.
The issue of air pollution is not a new one. The condition of the community threatened by air pollution has been happening for a long time. Research evidence indicating the threats of air pollution's impacts is also abundant. However, this has not led to significant efforts in controlling air pollution. As a result, residents are increasingly suffering and living amidst air pollution.
The PDI-P deserves and is suitable to become a balancing force in the future national political landscape. The PDI-P's dignity is more elevated when it serves as a controlling force, not because of personal feelings of resentment, disappointment, or being let down, but to preserve the fate and future of democracy in this republic.
The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) must become a role model political party, starting with a new tradition of smart, ideological, civilized politics, and, most importantly, non-pragmatic.
