The Indonesian people incessantly accept various kinds of deceptions, accept the contest of democracy. Later Warganet was stirred with a viral photo in the form of a condom package with the image of Jokowi – Ma’ruf. These images are spread on social media to the WhatsApp Group. Until the photo was viral in cyberspace, it was not yet known for sure about the maker of the condom package pictured in Presidential Decree No. 01. The photo is very identical to Jokowi’s photo, so the photos released were confirmed to be fabricated or false.
Jokowi support volunteer – Ma’ruf Amin quotes the picture – The picture is a black campaign.
“We strongly condemn the black campaign,” said Chairman of Bravo 5 East Java Ubaidilah Amin.
The ways in which black campaigns such as spreading condoms are called will damage the order of democracy. Refusing figures from Jokowi – Ma’ruf’s National Victory Team (TKN) and volunteers.
Aria Bima as the Program Director of the Jokowi – Ma’ruf TKN, said the photo had harassed potential state symbols. The party also added that there should be no things that would undermine the dignity of the nation.
“If we cannot respect the leaders themselves, the nation will not be able to appreciate it. So, it can no longer discuss how we should protect the nation, “he said.
Mudi Indonesia’s Youth National Coordinator Nurul Huda assessed that the distribution of condom photos pictured as presidential candidate number 01 in cyberspace had damaged the morale of the nation. Therefore, this man who is usually called Huda stated that MMI as one of the young volunteers supported Jokowi – Ma’ruf condemned such a campaign and asked the police to deter him.
“In his position as a presidential candidate – vice presidential candidate, he – he is a role model. They put the best nation promoted to be the leader of this nation. “It is very barbaric when compared to contraception,” said Huda.
He said, Jokowi as President was a symbol of the country. While Kiai Ma’ruf as an ulama is a moral symbol of the nation. Very uneasy, even cruel if their photos are used in wraps and condom brands.
“Such a black campaign is not only aimed at damaging the image of Pak Jokowi and KH Ma’ruf Amin. But it can also have an impact on the destruction of the nation’s morale, “he said.
TKN spokesperson, Ace Hasan Syadzily, also regretted the black campaign in the form of condoms by wrapping photos of Jokowi – Maufuf circulating on social media.
“It’s outrageous the ways in which black campaigns are carried out to discredit our partners. They have no way to defeat us except in such ways, “Ace said.
According to him, this black campaign still has to do with slander that Jokowi – Ma’ruf supports LGBT.
“It parallels the issue that was exhaled that Jokowi – Ma’ruf will legalize free sex and others. My guess is that. But clearly we have never campaigned using this method, “he explained.
He referred to the black viral video campaign of the mothers by mentioning that same-sex marriage would be allowed if Jokowi – Maufuf was elected.
“We will explore who the parties did. We will make sure to take legal action if the culprit is identified. “We ask the police to investigate who the perpetrators of the black campaign are,” Ace said
He considered there was an evil intention behind uploading the photo. Ace also said that it was impossible for candidate pair number 01 to use condoms as a campaign tool to get community support. The spread of the hoax also received a response from the Presidential Chief of Staff, Moeldoko, who stated that lately Jokowi’s presidential candidate had been wronged by various forms of black campaigns.
“But it’s okay. The more Jokowi dizalimi the better, “said Moeldoko. According to him the black campaign in the form of slander / hoax that attacked Jokowi was irrational and very bad. This shows that black campaigns by making hoaxes / hoaxes are a form of lack of creativity in a person or group in campaigning positively.
Moeldoko said, the perpetrators should not use a way that misleads the public for the victory of the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair they stretched out.
Of course, rather than spreading misleading news or hoaxes, it is better to show and campaign work programs complete with a track record in their leadership, this is certainly more elegant than spreading false hoaxes and sometimes logical flaws.
Despite being attacked by hoaxes like the women in Karawang and black campaigns over the spread of condom hoaxes with Jokowi – Ma’ruf pictorial, Golkar politician Ace Hasan believes that later Jokowi – Ma’ruf will be the winner of the upcoming April 17 2019 presidential election. This prediction is reinforced by the survey results from the SMRC which stated that Jokowi –
Ma’ruf’s electability level was superior at 54.9 percent. Meanwhile, Prabowo – Password only earned 32.1 percent. The remaining 13 percent said they did not know or did not answer. He also stressed that the photo of the Jokowi – Ma’ruf Amin pictorial was not a truth. According to him, irresponsible parties only want to try cheating with false campaigns or hoaxes through condoms.
