MKD Imposing Sanctions On PDIP DPR Members After Allegations Of 'Parkok' Caw-cawe In Pilkada

JAKARTA - The House of Representatives' Honorary Court (MKD) imposed a light sanction in the form of a written warning to PDIP faction DPR member Yulius Setiarto in today's trial.

The sanction was given because Yulius was proven to have violated the code of ethics regarding his statement calling the 'Brown Party' a girl or involved in the 2024 Pilkada.

"The Constitutional Court's decision to decide and try as follows, based on the legal and ethical considerations of the MKD, decided that the defendant Yth Yulius Setiarto SH, MH member number A234 PDIP faction was proven to have violated the code of ethics and was given a written warning sanction," said MKD Chairman Nazaruddin Dek Gam, Tuesday, December 3.

"This decision was determined in a closed MKD deliberation meeting on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 which was attended by the leadership and members of the MKD and read out at the MKD session on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 and resulted in a final and binding decision from the date of reading," he continued.

Yulius as the defendant clarified that the statement about the Chocolate Party was not an accusation. He admitted that he only wanted to ask for an explanation from the National Police Chief regarding the alleged involvement of the National Police in the 2024 Pilkada as revealed in a video broadcast by Media Tempo through the 'Halus Leak' event.

Therefore, according to him, reports regarding him should not be processed by the MKD. Because he considered, the report filed by Ali Hakim Lubis did not have a basis as an accusation of slander.

"Regarding the violation of the code of ethics on my statement on Tik Tok social media, which according to the complainant is an accusation or slander and has no legal basis and potential evidence to the National Police institution or to the Chief of the Indonesian National Police regarding the involvement of the National Police in the 2024 Pilkada," said Yulius.
