Un Amanah Is The Reason The Labor Party Refuses To Support, Anies Baswedan Says This To Said Iqbal
JAKARTA - The candidate for the Coalition for Change for Unity (KPP) Anies Baswedan responded to the Labor Party which would not support him in the 2024 presidential election.Anies then prayed for the President of the Labor Party, Said Iqbal, to make it easier to fight for the rights of workers."Hopefully Mr. Said Iqbal will be made easier in his struggle. He is an activist who has dedicated his time to workers and is now fighting for the Labor Party," Anies told reporters in Jakarta, Friday, September 15.Anies admitted that he respects the decision of the Labor Party to cross out his name on the list of presidential candidates. The former governor of DKI Jakarta also hopes that the Labor Party under the leadership of Said Iqbal can be upright in fighting for the aspirations of the people."We respect, respect, and hopefully the struggle can really be straight on the plate according to the aspirations of the labor community," said Anies."I wish him success in his program," he added.Previously, the Labor Party dropped the name Anies Baswedan, which appeared in the 2024 presidential and vice presidential candidates convention. The labor party stated that it would not support Anies in the upcoming 2024 presidential election."The decision on September 11, 2023 yesterday to eliminate Mr. Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024," said Labor Party President Said Iqbal to reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday, September 13.Said explained, there are two reasons the Labor Party no longer considers Anies as the future presidential candidate who will be supported. First, because Anies' spokesman, Sudirman Said, was considered to have 'locked up' the KSPI Labor Union and SPM."There is no politics except FSPMI and KSPI, only those two unions are firmly in their AD/ART to establish the Labor Party. So outside of that I believe in me, the elite is not bounded downwards. So yes, empty messages in picking marks but still respect," he explained."Therefore, Sudirman Said's attitude in breaking into KSPI apparently affected the negative internal KSPI and FSPMI as one of the elements of the Labor Party, so that his support was withdrawn. So Anies Baswedan could not be elected by the Labor Party," continued Said.
Second, the Labor Party considered Anies Baswedan not a mandate and stabbed his friend from behind, even before becoming president."Friends think that not being a presidential candidate is not a mandate. Along with the news we got, being stabbed in the back has not become president, let alone being president," said Said.
