On the other hand, the procession was quite attention-grabbing, various other forms of indication from several demonstrations that had led to chaos lately such as having a common thread.
The pure purpose of the action involving students was suspected that there were parties who deliberately infiltrated. To provide provocation to pass the objectives of political interests. However, students, groups, alliances, the public must be careful with such parties. Because they only want to divide the unity and security of the Republic of Indonesia.

He also stated that his party strongly condemned all forms of harassment of the national emblem along with the dignity of every people because it crossed with the values and manners of ancestors in a single diversity. Especially the form of action to convey aspirations accompanied by anarchistic actions. Firmly and confidently his side is ready to become the front guard to guard the government and President Jokowi.

Then it was continued with the declaration and socialization with the #kami bersamajokowi. Namely, by distributing around 2,000 florets of red and white roses, banners, stickers and not forgetting posters of support to the people around the Sarinah area. The Cinta Damai and Cinta NKRI Society will oversee the inauguration process of President Jokowi and Ma’ruf Amin, which was held on October 20, 2019.

The peak of this Democratic Party should be interpreted as a new chapter for more advanced Indonesia. And should not be tainted by acts of anarchism. Which is increasingly widespread will be the attempt to overthrow the leadership of President Jokowi. The decision has been taken, the winner has been determined so as a good citizen must be legowo and wise. Hopefully Jokowi is able to bring change to our beloved Indonesia.
