Deputy Governor Of Gelora Fahri Hamzah Proposes To Trace The Party That Raised The Presidential Issue For 3 Periods

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the DPN of the Indonesian People's Wave Party (Gelora), Fahri Hamzah believes that the issue of 3 presidential terms does not come from Joko Widodo's wishes.

According to Fahri, it is necessary to investigate who designed the issue. Including the aims and objectives to enliven in the media.

"That is what I think we must trace now. Because if it is not possible from the president himself. Why? I myself have asked the president twice about this before the end of office, and the answer is unanimous, he (Jokowi.red) said he did not want to. is remembered as a person who wanted to return to office, "said Fahr Hamzahi in his statement in Jakarta, Wednesday, March 17.

Fahri suspects that there are parties who deliberately play the issue of 3 presidential terms. Moreover, it has become a culture in society to neutralize information which is then used by a handful of groups for certain interests.

"My guess is that if we are not naive, this will become news on social media which has happened frequently and we are over-acting with the news," said Fahri.

"Or the second is that there are groups that are blowing up this issue, for the interests of their groups, of course," he continued.

Fahri Hamzah assessed that exaggerating information that is not necessarily true is a bad habit on social media. In fact, he said, this issue had actually been resolved at the presidential level, because it had already been clarified. But it's still 'fried'.

Therefore, he suggested that the elites no longer need to be busy commenting on the problems that have been answered by the president.

"Moreover, joining the ranks considers Jokowi to be guilty. In fact, changes to the constitution are hardly in the hands of the president, but in the hands of the MPR. Even if there was, the president was only involved in his end when the MPR had proposed changes. But, the president did not participate," he explained. the former deputy chairman of the DPR RI for the 2014-2019 period.

Fahri Hamzah emphasized that the 1945 Constitution could not be changed easily because its business was the constitution. Unlike the Law and Perppu, the president can take the initiative to propose changes.

"So I think we are the ones who should be right to conclude that this is not from a legitimate source. It is unfortunate that the Palace spokesperson answered this (issue) firmly, thus creating continued speculation," he said.

Fahri Hamzah advised all parties to focus on existing problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic which has not subsided compared to fussing over wild issues.

"Humanitarian issues should be the concern of all of us. Let us not take public time with trivial issues such as the issue of the presidential period. The elites and intellectuals should focus their attention on how Indonesia gets out of the various problems that lie ahead. eyes, "concluded the former PKS politician.
