Is The Former President Still Escorted By Paspampres? Here's The Answer According To Government Regulations

YOGYAKARTA - Indonesia's 7th President, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), recently shared his moments of activity after no longer serving as president. In the upload, Jokowi and his wife, Iriana Jokowi, seemed to enjoy relaxing time by eating Sate Kambing at Mas Di, Kartasura, Sukoharjo, Central Java. Even though the atmosphere looks relaxed without strict supervision, the question is, does the former president still be escorted by the presidential pass (Presidential Security)?

Even though the video uploaded by Jokowi does not appear to be a striking guard, he and his family still receive escort from Paspampres. Based on Government Regulation Number 59 of 2013 concerning Presidential and Vice Presidential Security, Former President and Vice President as well as Family and State Guests at the level of the Head of State or Head of Government, former president such as Jokowi and his family still have the right to security by Paspampres. The security task is carried out by the Paspampres Group D, which is specifically responsible for escorting the former president, vice president, and his family.

In the regulation, in particular Article 13, it is stipulated that the former president, vice president, and his family are entitled to security with certain facilities. This security is given both when they are at home and abroad. What is meant by the family in this rule is the wife or husband of the former president or vice president. The form of security provided includes four main aspects, namely:

Based on information from the official website of the TNI Headquarters, Group D Paspampres which escorted the former president and former vice president was inaugurated on Monday, March 3, 2014. The inauguration was carried out directly by the then TNI Commander, General TNI (Ret.) Moeldoko.

With the formation of this Group D, Paspampres as a whole have four main groups, namely Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group D. Each group has different security responsibilities, where Group A and Group B are assigned to oversee the president and vice president who are currently serving, Group C focuses on securing state guests, and Group D specifically escorting the former president, former vice president, and his family.

Thus, even though Jokowi is no longer president, he still gets the necessary security in accordance with applicable government regulations.

This escort aims to ensure the safety of the former president and his family, both domestically and when they travel abroad. The security provided is not only to maintain personal safety, but also includes protection when they carry out various public and private activities. Although often the escort does not appear too flashy, the presence of Paspampres remains and is ready to provide protection.

This security right also applies to all former presidents and vice presidents of Indonesia and their families, who ensure that they continue to receive protection even after they no longer hold the highest public office in the country.
