Indonesia will soon be organizing the elections in 2020. Many people support the democratic celebration, t ermasuk one of the only Islamic organizations Nahdlatul Ulama.
Regional-level democratic party, this election seems to have created euphoria in the community . Not only preparing to welcome him, but many parties also began to provide support. Namely, related to the success of the elections. The momentum for the election of the Regional Head has of course also been anticipated. New cadres who are expected to be able to improve the performance and welfare of the people are also expected. Maybe not much indeed, but in a momentum like this it is often used by special elements to launch their interests.
Moreover, now the technology world can be considered as a hoax container for incubation. T indakan Such is extremely detrimental to all parties. Both the state and its apparatus, are also citizens. As a result, the sense of calm and then slowly disappears into endless worries. Then who is responsible? Unfortunately the culprit ran helter-skelter!
The people of Indonesia seem to be happier about viral reports with thousands to millions of “likes”, rather than the truth that they feel is less biting. They seemed to hitchhike prestige, so they were famous like Maya world artists. But, have you ever thought about the victims of hoaxes? What will happen? Also how is the law. Despite the enactment of laws relating to ITE, in fact there are still many who are “challenged”. J ika has been arrested just cry-cry apologize. Sad, right? Then, will we continue to be hoax news transmission agents? Misleading and many news related to the 2020 elections?
Previously, a number of religious organizations instructed all cadres to keep the elections peaceful, conducive, and to look after one another. According to the chairman of the General Board of NU, KH Said Aqil Siroj said that with dignity, let’s succeed this political agenda .
Kiai Said also reminded all parties to develop an ideal, honest and fair politics. Therefore, citizens who have the right to vote should continue to exercise their right to vote responsibly. By holding the principles of free, honest, fair, and confidential and dignified.
He said that in choosing regional leaders, of course they could cover various aspects. For example, honesty, and the willingness to build community benefits in their respective regions. Kiai Said also hopes that Indonesia is not like the Middle East, because it is still affected by civil war.
Therefore, he appealed to all Indonesian citizens to jointly maintain order, calm and mutual security, both before, during and after the election. There must be no division, intimidation, agitation and provocation. But always prioritize the interests of the nation and state, namely by upholding unity and also unity. He also expressed his disapproval to justify any means by spreading hoaxes. They consider this method easy to do, because of course minimal caught. “Troubled” individuals like to spit poison so that people become afraid, anxious to make a split.
It is not new, in the political world we will find a number of fraud. They spread the issue then catapulted it further, letting false news explode and erode public trust. For those who launch weapons like this, of course the most desirable is a change of power. Ordinary, the name is also a position. People still only have to complain so it’s easy to be dropped. Moreover, the momentum of this new Pilkada? In my opinion, the seconds before the democratic party are pretty scary. National synergy also becomes a bet. If not careful, get ready at the opponent’s “bang”.
But now, the country is chaotic due to a pandemic that has not yet come to an end. Don’t make things difficult, let’s walk according to the corridors that apply. Be honest to go forward, listen to the enthusiasm to develop the country, stop trading and promising troubles for the people. Let’s succeed this year by using the right to vote to participate in determining the fate of the country. Remember, a big country is if its people are strong, strong and united to realize unity and integrity. No division, anti betrayal, and uphold the values of high tolerance. Indeed, humans have advantages and disadvantages of each. But come on, build the country, through this election.
