The Community Needs to Maintain Peace Ahead of the Election Dispute Decision Hearing at the Constitutional Court
The 2024 Presidential Election dispute decision hearing at the Constitutional Court (MK) has again entered a crucial stage after the Eid holiday. The schedule shows that the Constitutional Court will begin its conclusion submission session on April 16 2024, with a planned decision hearing on April 22 2024. During this process, it is important for all parties, especially the political elite and their supporters, to keep the situation safe and conducive.
Gus Jaroh, a community leader and spiritualist from Yogyakarta, reminded that the post-Presidential Election political atmosphere had heated up, especially after the announcement of the results of the Quick Count which won Paslon 02. The political situation eased during the recapitulation of the KPUD votes, but heated up again with the announcement of the results of the KPU plenary session R.I.
Please remember, demonstrations are a right guaranteed by law in Indonesia. However, Gus Jaroh emphasized the need for polite actions and an emphasis on Akhlakul Kharimah. In this context, society needs to realize that the development of infrastructure and public facilities is the result of people’s contributions through taxes and levies.
Securing these assets is a shared responsibility. The damage caused by anarchist actions is not only detrimental to the government, but also to society as a whole. Rebuilding infrastructure requires a lot of time and funds. Therefore, creating conducive public order requires collaboration between security forces and all elements of society.
The importance of creating a peaceful atmosphere can be seen in the appeal from the Bintang Mountains Resort Police (Polres), Papua Mountains Province. The Deputy Chief of Police for the Bintang Mountains, Micha Toding Potty, emphasized the importance of maintaining public peace and order, especially during celebratory moments such as the Birthday of the Bintang Mountains Regency.
The people of this area showed extraordinary enthusiasm in celebrating this event peacefully. Security forces, both from the TNI and Polri, as well as the Cartenz 2024 Peace Task Force, are present to provide a sense of security for all. We are all invited to be grateful and maintain security together.
In a broader context, the key to success in maintaining order is to reject all forms of anarchism, intolerance, violence, radicalism, racism and separatism. This is a basic principle that must be applied by all elements of society.
The message from Gus Jaroh and the Deputy Chief of Police for the Bintang Mountains reflects the need for collaboration between security forces and the community. Preventive and proactive actions must be taken to avoid conflicts that can harm many parties.
Along with the importance of maintaining the security and social security situation, Gus Jaroh also emphasized the need for a dignified and fair approach in responding to differences of opinion. He underlined the importance of ethics in demonstrating and voicing opinions openly. Constructive and constructive criticism will be more useful than provocative actions that can divide society.
Meanwhile, the appeal from the Deputy Chief of Police for the Bintang Mountains also highlighted the importance of togetherness in maintaining security. The police cannot work alone without the support and active participation of the community. This reflects the spirit of mutual cooperation in maintaining order and security together.
In the context of preparations for the election dispute decision hearing at the Constitutional Court, the role of all elements of society is very vital. Every individual is expected to refrain from actions that could trigger unnecessary conflict or tension. Mutual respect and support for the legal process are important foundations in building a democratic and civilized country.
Gus Jaroh also emphasized the importance of upholding human values and brotherhood in dealing with differences of opinion. When all parties can act maturely and act responsibly, the atmosphere of democratic life will be more conducive and prosperous for all.
Based on past experience, post-election political conflicts often have the potential to trigger friction and tension in society. Therefore, it is important for all parties to prioritize effective dialogue and communication in resolving differences of opinion.
An inclusive approach and respect for diversity of opinion will help prevent potential conflict. Apart from that, better political education is also the key to forming a society that is intelligent and critical in responding to political dynamics.
Anticipating the possibility of protests or demonstrations after the verdict hearing at the Constitutional Court, security forces need to increase their vigilance and capacity to handle potential riots. However, it is better to take preventive steps by prioritizing dialogue and negotiation from an early age.
Thus, we are all invited to reflect on the importance of maintaining peace and unity in facing post-election political challenges. Collaboration between security forces and the community is the main key in ensuring security and order during the process of resolving political disputes.
In this challenging time, society needs to remember that security and order are an invaluable price for shared prosperity. We all have a role in maintaining peace ahead of and after the election dispute decision hearing at the Constitutional Court. Let us unite and respect the ongoing legal process, as well as uphold national values to achieve sustainable progress. This invitation underlines the importance of respecting the democratic process and maintaining unity in diversity, because that is the strong foundation of our life together.
