Jokowi Is Prone To Getting Attacks After He Is No Longer As President, Yusril Is Ready To Be A Legal Shield
JAKARTA - Chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB) Yusril Ihza Mahendra stated that his willingness to become a legal shield for Joko Widodo (Jokowi) after no longer serving as president.
The statement was in response to the suggestion of a political observer, Rocky Gerung, who considered Yusril to be considered effective in overcoming the political phenomenon of political revenge for Jokowi.
"If I am asked to participate in dealing with his problems, I am ready to do so," Yusri told reporters, Saturday, September 2.
Yusril gave an example, the president who was attacked after he was no longer in office was Suharto. At that time, he became his legal shield.
"I have experience how to deal with Pak Harto's problems, yes. When he stopped being president then he was no longer president, yes, there were various demands among the community at that time and in the end there was no process whatsoever for him," he said.
However, Yusril hopes that this attack will not happen to Jokowi and other former presidents.
This is because the figure of the president must be respected when he is still and is no longer in office.
"I hope that also happened to Pak Jokowi and the former presidents, all of whom we respect," said Yusril.
Previously, it was reported that Rocky Gerung jokingly, President Jokowi, should take advantage of Yusril Ihza Mahendra's sincerity as a legal shield when he no longer serves as the number one person in Indonesia.
This method is considered effective in overcoming the political phenomenon of political revenge after the term of duty.
"It's better to invite Yusril. Only the judiciary can make a save," said Rocky.
