CIDISS. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Wiranto, is very optimistic that the Regional Elections (Pilkada) will be held simultaneously in 2018, the 2019 Legislative Election and Presidential Election will run optimally.
Wiranto said, this means that TNI and Police have merged together to secure the election of Pilkada, Pilleg and the upcoming Presidential Election. In terms of security is excellent, but the election is the property of all Indonesian Nations. In the democratic process that has a democracy, or that run not only the government, but the entire Indonesian nation.
However, since the election is part of the democratic process or the election is an implementation of democracy, the involvement of the community to maintain dignity, safety, fluency and orderliness is not just the responsibility of the security apparatus. However, it is the responsibility of all Indonesian Nations. The involvement of the people of Indonesia needs to jointly guard the Pilkada and Pilpres.
Alluding to the existence of candidates for regional heads who are involved in the law, Wiranto invites only if there has to go through the stage of arrest and detention according to legal process.
According to Wiranto it is feared that there will be certain allegations that will lead to the state apparatus dealing with legal matters, and as if to intervene in political matters. However, he said, if it can be eliminated or it can be ascertained does not lead to it there is no problem.
We are oriented not to be in the face of elections simultaneously and the presidential election there is noise or chaos in the community. This, of course, will disrupt the implementation of the election, and we must avoid.
Therefore, let us invite the whole society to be involved and actively participate in maintaining environmental security so that harmony and family atmosphere will be maintained in all parts of Indonesia. Only by maintaining harmony and kinship, our country will remain conducive, secure, and peaceful.
