PDIP Says There Is Something Intensive From Prabowo's Praises To Jokowi During Gerindra's Anniversary

Chairman of the PDIP DPP for Honorary Affairs Komarudin Watubun assessed that President Prabowo Subianto's praise for the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo in the 17th Anniversary of the Gerindra Party some time ago.

"If I look at it from two sides. There is a letter and it is implied. It is like this. Pak Prabowo wants to tell Pak Jokowi," said Komarudin at the PDIP DPP office, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, February 18.

According to Komarudin, the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party had a certain purpose when he praised Jokowi. Prabowo simply wants to show that he is not someone who forgets the services of others, especially in the 2024 election contestation.

"Pak Prabowo wants to confirm that the 2024 election was indeed Jokowi causing trouble. Yes, using his power to win Gerindra, right? That's how it was yesterday. Yesterday he talked, right? That's it," said Komarudin.

On the one hand, Komarudin emphasized that Prabowo's praise for Jokowi had no impact or even hampered the plan for a meeting between Prabowo and PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"Yesterday Pak Prabowo gave awards to all leaders, right? Starting from Bung Karno, Pak Harto. I think that's a value. This leader must have value. If he has no value, he is far from civilization," he said.

It is known, Prabowo expressed his praise to Jokowi during a speech at the 17th Anniversary of the Gerindra Party at Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), Bogor, Saturday, February 15.

Prabowo said that he could become president, in addition to being supported by political parties (political parties) who are members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), as well as Jokowi's role.

"And I say here, that we have succeeded in gaining people's trust because of the support of all of our friends from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition. And I say here, we succeeded because we were supported by the 7th President," said Prabowo.

All Gerindra cadres then applauded Jokowi. Prabowo asked for the applause to be more enthusiastic. "My hands are less enthusiastic, enthusiastic again! Jokowi's life!" said Prabowo.
