Every country, nation, and continent in the whole world has its own history. History can be bad or good, according to what happened in that country or continent. Thus, the history of many countries and continents throughout the world is characterized by internal conflicts, quarrels, disputes, aggression, war, etc. Among the population or with external conflict or war against other countries. The impact and consequences of this conflict and war are very numerous and one of them is the breakdown of national unity.
The outbreak of national unity greatly impacts on the sustainability of a country’s development. When the people of a country are reluctant to unite and prefer to spend their time together in defending the things that they highly uphold, then the ideals of that country to be able to progress are difficult to realize. Herein lies the importance of national unity and unity.
In Indonesia itself, during the colonial period and before the independence period, when the people of this country were pitted against the invaders, there was only a conflict and a long struggle which made it difficult for Indonesia’s development to lead to a better direction. It was only after Indonesia truly liberated itself that the government designed a program for continued progress in Indonesia. Now we can enjoy the results of national development that has been designed and carried out by state officials after Indonesia’s independence. The facilities and infrastructure that we now enjoy will not be realized without the spirit of the unity of the entire Indonesian nation.
That is why maintaining this spirit of unity is very important. This spirit of diversity must not be divided again, especially in the 2019 election. Each of us must have a partner that we are very good at, but above all, the most important thing that must be put forward is maintaining national unity.
It would be very unfortunate if only because our election cases were fragmented and disputed because without national unity the sustainability of Indonesia’s national development might be just a discourse. For that, let us succeed in the 2019 Election in a peaceful and dignified manner, let us use our voting rights intelligently and oppose the Hoax and Reject Golput for qualified elections for the sustainability of national Development.
Maintain national unity with a spirit of tolerance and the noble values of Pancasila. Let us spread the content of content in Medos which fosters the nation’s optimism towards progressing Indonesia.
