Cidiss. Later circulated about the term Sontoloyo politician, this term was expressed by President Joko Widodo which alluded to the number of sontoloyo politicians in the country. Jokowi was furious because many politicians questioned the proposed disbursement of village funds. In fact, kelurahan funds are expected to reduce disparities between villages and cities.
Jokowi said that attempts to attack political opponents in an uncivilized, unethical manner, that no manners were unhealthy and not good. He also asked the public to be careful of provocative information, especially related to political years. According to the President, a lot of false information was made by politicians who took advantage of the current political year “Therefore, I remind you this is not the time to use campaigns such as fighting politics, politics of splitting, politics of hatred, it’s not the time,” said the President after attending the opening ceremony of the 2018 Indonesia Trade Expo at the Indonesia Convention Center (ICE), Tangerang, Banten, Wednesday (10/24/2018).
Jokowi, who has served as President since 2014, said that politics today should be a politics of program fighting, ideas, ideas, achievements or track records. “Yes, if you still use old methods like that, still hate politics, SARA politics ( ethnicity, religion, race and class), politics of fighting, politics of splitting, that is what the name is political politics, “said the President.
This was explained by Abdul Kadir Karding as the Deputy Chairperson of the Jokowi-JK National Campaign Team, he considered the message was delivered by Jokowi because of the behavior of national politicians who suffered a setback. The words of the sontoloyo politician are expected to be a reminder. “That is part of his messages to politicians because political behavior tends to be decadent so far and this can result in the quality of Indonesian politics,” Karding said when contacted on Wednesday (10/24).
