Political Uproar ahead of President’s inauguration, all that remains to count today must end immediately. This 5-year state agenda can also be welcomed with great joy in stating that Indonesia already has the leader the people want.
3 Days before the Inauguration, news of the enthusiasm for welcoming the procession was increasingly intense. Ranging from support, escort to someone who held a cultural party, helped drift into a sense of joy to meet this state agenda. According to Benny Susetyo, as the Special Staff of the BPIP (Steering Board of the Pancasila Development Board), requested that all parties maintain a peaceful atmosphere and be far from rowdy ahead of the inauguration procession on 20 October.
According to him, the inauguration will be held on Sunday, and was greeted with joy. Considering this event is part of the democratic party which has been passed a few months ago. He did not dismiss the news of the demonstrations which were prone to be ridden by radical groups, as an effort to cancel the state procession of the President and the Vice-President-Elect. It was considered to be able to hurt the hearts of the people.
Because the people have determined the leadership of the State of Indonesia for the next five years through the 2019 election process. Therefore, if there are parties who oppose the voice of the people, then it means against democracy. And the most important thing is not in the name of the people to convey an unfair democratic process. Benny added that now is the right time to end all polemics of political upheaval and the spirit of a knight, because if it is not possible the people’s sovereignty will be seized by unscrupulous passengers.
Meanwhile, with regard to security issues, intelligence and security observer at the University of Indonesia doctoral student, Stanislaus Riyanta, stated that the ability of antidemocracy, radicalism and terrorism groups to carry out disturbances to incidents during inauguration was considered minimal. This is based on the penetration made by Detachment 88, and the arrest of up to 22 people will certainly make it difficult for them to take advantage of the inauguration momentum in Jakarta.
In addition, judging from the aspect of political consolidation or reconciliation between Jokowi and Prabowo, it was stated that there were no longer any key political problems. He considered if the inauguration was the culmination of a democratic party, so anyone should welcome him cheerfully. Not even filled with a variety of criticisms of disappointment also the sentences “nosy”. However, even so there are at least 27 thousand more troops will be deployed in the Jakarta area, so that the inauguration will be safe and controlled.
For information, as many as 27 thousand joint personnel of the TNI, Polri and the government will be alerted to secure the state agenda of the president and vice president for the 2019-2024 period which is located in the MPR RI Building, Jakarta City. According to reports, the Safeguards are still included in the Brata Solid Operations section. This operation is a security operation for the 2019 Election, which will be complete on October 21, 2019 as the inauguration procession is complete.
According to Deputy Chair of the MPR Arsul Sani said, the inauguration procession of Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin will be attended by guests in more than 20 friendly countries, consisting of Heads of State, Heads of Government and Special Envoys. This implies that other countries also pay their respects from the Democracy process in the country.
It is said that Indonesia is the third largest country in terms of a democratic system of government after India and also the land of Uncle Sam, the United States. Therefore, the MPR hopes fully to all elements of the community to participate in protecting, respecting and maintaining solemnity in the event. And make it a moment of joy together.
The PPP Party faction added that if there was a crowd at the location provided, this would be a public party. He also asked for democratic expressions in the form of demonstrations on the 20th of October should not be launched. In addition to the solemnity of the inauguration ceremony, also a form of respect for guests from friendly countries can be given optimally.
With regard to all the preparations available, indeed all elements of society should welcome the joy of this inauguration procession. Considering, the peak of the democratic party is also an analogy of the people’s party because it has been finished distributing votes in the election a few months ago. So the implementation must be far from political turmoil and existing conditions.
