JAKARTA - The presidential candidate from the Change Coalition for the Anies Baswedan Union said the pride of the villagers who disappeared was swallowed by forced evictions for that he never agreed to carry out the eviction.

"If the disbursement that is lost is not his house, what is missing is self-respect. What is eliminated is the sense of honor as a citizen, what is missing is the future, what is missing is the feeling that we are part of the Indonesian nation," said Anies in the Kampung Susun Aquarium, Penjaringan, North Jakarta. reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 14.

The most concrete example is in Kampung Susun Aquarium. Previously, the residents there lost their pride as residents of Jakarta. Even KTP did not have any.

Anies' statement was supported by the Head of the Neighborhood Association 012/RW04, Penjaringan Village, Penjaringan District, North Jakarta City, Topas Juanda.

Topas said that when led by Anies, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had humanized humans.

"I've become a human, sir, thank God. In 2017 to 2022 I'm still human, after that it hasn't been done again. We feel missed here, missed being led by a governor who is really looking for justice," said Topas.

Meanwhile, the Capital City Leader for the 2020 Empowerment Midfielder Dharma Diani said there were 23 re-resettlement programs for villagers involving the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government which were not moving (stucked) after changing governors.

"The 23 villages that formed the program with the DKI Provincial Government, everything stuck didn't work. 180 degrees changed everything," said Diani.

Saat ini warga kampung-kampung yang dijanjikan mendapat permukiman kembali sudah tertung-katung keberakannya, seperti Kampung Kunir dan Kampung Bayam.

Dini said that residents of Kampung Kunir had written to the DKI Jakarta Regional Asset Management Agency (BPAD) three times, but did not get an answer to their anxiety.

"The saddest thing is in Kampung Bayam, they are now lesehan in front of JIS using makeshift tents. Because to sign again, they no longer have money," said Diani.

Anies said the concept of settlements called villages is people who are friendly, harmonious, and in a friendly manner. 'Kampung' has no word equality in English, because there it does not recognize the concept.

"That's why if you look at English, the village is still called a champion, the difference is only using the letter O. Why? There is no knowledge of the concept of a village, because it is originally here, it is typical of Indonesia," said Anies.

Therefore, the village in Jakarta should not be lost even though the building is concrete and arranged.

Anies said in the opening of the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia it was stated that "the government of the Indonesian state that protects the entire Indonesian nation and all of Indonesia's blood".

This means that the government places the people as citizens who must be protected, gets a sense of security because the government provides peace and comfort.

"When there are people who need protection, we do it. That's what needs to be done," said Anies.
