People's Anger Not To The President, Prabowo Is Difficult To Displace

JAKARTA Political communication expert, Hendri Satrio assessed that the anger of mass demonstrations in several regions in Indonesia in the last few days has not been directed at President Prabowo Subianto.

Therefore, Prabowo's position as president is still strong and difficult to overthrow.

"In my opinion, this people's anger is not with Pak Prabowo, so Pak Prabowo is still very strong in his position today, so it is difficult to overthrow him," he said, Sunday, August 31, 2025.

He stated that the analysis that was put forward by military observer Connie Rahakundnie Bakrie regarding President Prabowo Subianto was asked to be closely guarded by the chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP Sufmi Dasco Ahmad was not excessive.

"What Mbak Connie said is okay, and it has to be, be careful and carry out her dignity as a leader," added Hensat.

According to the founder of the KedaiKOPI survey institute, the request for Dasco to keep President Prabowo Subianto is the right thing, considering that the daily chairman of the Gerindra Party is Prabowo's most trusted person.

"It was conveyed to Dasco in my opinion that it is valid because Dasco is the closest person to Pak Prabowo and a person who is upright without any tension to Prabowo. This Dasco can translate Prabowo's directions well, because as a close person, Connie is natural to convey this to Dasco to protect Pak Prabowo," explained Hensat.
