Circulating Photos Of "Megawati Speech On The Podium With The Hammer And Sickle Logo, Accompanied By Jokowi", Check The Facts

JAKARTA - Irfan Kalangkangkong's account (fb.com/irfan.kalangkong) uploaded a photo of PDI-P Chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri and Joko Widodo with the narration: "Oh, it turns out to be PKI anyway"

The photo shows Megawati Soekarnoputri addressing a podium bearing the hammer and sickle logo or one that is identical to the PKI logo. Next to him was President Joko Widodo wearing a black uniform with a red beret.

Based on the search results of turnbackhoax.id, the claim of the photo of Megawati Soekarnoputri giving a speech accompanied by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on a podium that has a hammer and sickle logo or which is identical to the PKI logo is a false claim.

In fact, it is an edited photo. The original photo on the podium is not the hammer and sickle logo, but the logo of the PDIP Cakra Buana Task Force, depicting a white sun with a bull symbol in the middle.

The photo was taken when Megawati, who was accompanied by Jokowi, was giving a speech at the Pancasila Day commemoration rally on June 1, 2013. At that time Jokowi was still the governor of DKI Jakarta. This moment was broadcast by merdeka.com with the title Jokowi accompanying Mega in commemoration of Pancasila Day.
