Make Sure The Metal Greetings At PDIP Anniversary Are Purely Intimacy, Spokesperson: Vice President Ma'ruf Consistent Netral

JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin is confirmed to remain neutral in the 2024 presidential election. He consistently does not support anyone as is often conveyed on various occasions.

This was conveyed by the Spokesperson for Vice President Ma'ruf Amin, Masduki Baidlowi because of the three-finger pose or metal greeting shown by former Rais Aam PBNU when he was present at the 51st PDIP Anniversary event today, Wednesday, January 10. This event was held at the PDIP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta.

"Netrality is one of the reasons the Vice President was present at the PDIP Anniversary event, as well as the anniversary of other political parties," Masduki said in a written statement, Wednesday, January 10.

Masduki regretted that there were parties who thought that the three-finger pose was a form of support for certain candidate pairs (paslons). Vice President Kiai Haji Ma'ruf Amin consistently took a neutral position in the 2024 Pilres contestation," he said.

Moreover, Ma'ruf Amin has been friends with PDIP for a long time. Thus, the pose is referred to as proof of intimacy.

"The greetings have long been used by PDIP, metal shows a total red acronym, as the color of the party's flag," said Masduki.

As previously reported, Vice President Ma'ruf Amin had shown a metal gesture or three fingers when he was present at the PDIP Party School. From observations in the field, this moment occurred when the cutting of the cone commemorated the 51st Anniversary of the PDIP.

Ma'ruf Amin at that time received the first tumpeng cut from Megawati Soekarnoputri as the General Chair of the PDIP. Next, another invitation including presidential candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo also received another tumpeng section which was followed by a joint photo took event.

"Please take a picture together," said the host.

Ma'ruf who was in the middle of the PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani and Megawati spontaneously raised three fingers because they saw the two posed similarly together.

It's just that, Ma'ruf, smiling, saw his hand. However, he still poses because the photo process together takes place.
