VOI Today: Megawati Soekarnoputri's Deepest Political Message Not Attending Ceremony At The Palace

JAKARTA - The August 17 ceremony at the Merdeka Palace this year is colorful. President Prabowo Subianto appeared in a political style to embrace, even dancing to lighten the atmosphere. All important figures were present, except Megawati Soekarnoputri.

The PDIP General Chair chose his own stage in the party office, citing consistency with cadres. Megawati's absence adds to the political spice amidst the narrative of unity that Prabowo wants to show.

Moreover, his relationship with Jokowi is tenuous, while SBY is actually starting to disburse. Is Megawati absent only about party protocol or is there a deeper political message? see the review in vo.id.
