PDIP's Insinuation Against Ganjar Is A Pressure To End The Practice Of The Fountain Politics

JAKARTA - Chairman of Jokowi Mania (Joman) Immanuel Ebenezer supports the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo to run as a presidential candidate in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

According to him, the results of Ganjar's work for two periods can be seen and felt by the public. Regardless, despite the recent polemic with PDIP.

"There is something that is trending in society today that the figure of Ganjar is a figure who can be seen and can be felt. First see his work, and feel the results of his work. This is our consideration to support Ganjar in 2024," said Immanuel in a discussion entitled Puan Envy Hati or Ganjar Doesn't Know Himself online, Sunday, May 30.

"Because we don't have any interests. We are not trapped by the internal party conflict. After all, we know the track record of Megawati, she is a party leader who has no equal," he continued.

The man who is familiarly called Noel admits that the 'Fountain Politics' mentioned by PDIP politician, Effendi Simbolon, cannot be denied. Where, a figure who has been supported like can not return the favor.

"Indeed, today's trend is for politicians, leaders, to use the fountain pattern method. Struggling close together, after that, people from far away are prioritized. That's very true," said Noel.

Previously, Effendi criticized Ganjar that for the past 2 to 3 years, the Governor of Central Java had not paid much attention to internal parties, especially cadres in his chosen regions. Thus, the term Fountain Politics emerged, which means that close people do not feel anything while people far away are splashed by the water.

"Effendi Simbolon is a party cadre who always upholds democratic values and his criticisms. What Jokowi is not criticized by Effendi Simbolon?" Noel quipped.

"But I don't want to be trapped in an internal party conflict. After all, the name is a factionalization party, whether the accumulation that has occurred in Central Java is internal to the PDIP," he said.

Questioning Ganjar's lack of empathy for banteng cadres in Central Java, Noel said that of course, the PDI-P is the one who understands better. The public, he said, only knew that so far Ganjar's performance could be felt in the field.

"If that's the case, only PDIP understands. But the fact that we see today, we cross-check in the field that Ganjar is a figure that can be seen and can be felt with the results of his work," explained Noel.

"Then there is Puan criticizing that good leaders must be in the field not on social media. After all, social media is a means to convey, promote her more actual work. It means that she tries to blast it on her social media to make it easier. If I think that's a tone based on political cynicism. This is very dangerous," he added.

Noel also suggested that those who don't like Ganjar's political style should always publish their work through social media, so that they are smarter in capturing messages.

"So don't be literate on social media and then we'll bully, that's not fair. Don't because of our stupidity and then we say people are stupid, that's not good either. Today many politicians in Indonesia have an old culture that conveys political programs and their work through mainstream media. Today there is another new facility," he reminded.

Noel then mentioned that PDIP might be traumatized by the leader who practices the 'Fountain' political practice. Where the PDIP was initially carried as a political vehicle, then after winning it was abandoned.

"I see this as a message of political pressure to convey to Ganjar that the politics of fountains is over. If you want to be a leader, don't follow this pattern later. I see a kind of traumatic past that is felt by PDIP because almost all of the people who were champions of PDIP it's not (attention, red)," said Noel.

"For example, Bibit Waluyo, then Sutiyoso and many people who were pushed by the PDIP, even though their expectations were beyond the expectations of the PDIP. Right (PDIP, ed) is a people-based party. with the addiction of power and this is danger, "said Immanuel Ebenezer.
