Megawati Criticizes Trump, Insults the Arrogance of the Adidaya State against the Sovereign State

JAKARTA - The political speech of the General Chair of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) Megawati Soekarnoputri in the I National Working Meeting in Jakarta, Saturday, January 10, contains a sharp focus on global geopolitics and ecological crises. Megawati openly condemned neocolonialism practices that threatened the sovereignty of developing countries.

Academic and political observer Rocky Gerung assessed Megawati's narrative went beyond domestic issues. He highlighted Megawati's courage in raising the issue of pressure from the United States on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as a reminder of the principle of national independence.

"Megawati emphasized the prohibition of a superpower taking over the leadership of a sovereign country. This is about international order that is tainted by the arrogance of power," said Rocky at the Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta.

According to Rocky, the theme is relevant to the Indonesian constitution which rejects all forms of colonization. He assessed that Megawati was sending a message of consistency to the right of every nation to run the government without foreign intervention.

Apart from sovereignty issues, the aspect of natural sustainability is a crucial point in the speech. Megawati reminded that environmental damage is a real threat to the sustainability of human civilization. This message is aimed specifically at the younger generation to be more concerned about protecting the ecosystem.

"Celebrating the environment means reminding that damaging nature is the same as destroying the future of our own civilization," Rocky added.

The PDI Perjuangan I National Congress carries the theme Satyam Eva Jayate or the truth will always win. Through this speech, the party with the bull symbol seems to want to emphasize its ideological position on the world stage.

Rocky admitted to being impressed by the clarity and courage of the issues raised. For him, the narrative conveyed by Megawati shows maturity in responding to strategic issues, ranging from international solidarity to saving the global environment.
