Gerindra Forgives Prabowo Subianto's Mocker Not Ganjar Pranawo's Opponent in Today's Memory, April 29, 2023
JAKARTA - Today's memory, three years ago, April 29, 2023, the Gerindra Party forgives PDIP politician Adian Napitupulu regarding Prabowo Subianto's mockery of not being Ganjar Prabowo's opponent. They also remind that mockery is not a problem because Prabowo always teaches humility.
Previously, Prabowo's fate was often unlucky in political contests. Prabowo often lost to Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Everything changed when the 2024 presidential election was about to be held. Jokowi is no longer in the political ring. Prabowo is also predicted to be the next President of Indonesia.
No one doubts the intensity of the competition between Jokowi and Prabowo. The two met twice in high-level political contests: the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections. The competition is often heated. Each party machine - Gerindra and PDIP - is campaigning.
The people of Indonesia are divided into two camps. Those who see Jokowi as a figure who is popular. There are also those who consider Prabowo a firm figure. The special thing is that the victory belongs to Jokowi in the 2014 presidential election.
This condition made Jokowi the President of Indonesia. However, Prabowo did not just sit still. He who did not enter the government chose to be Jokowi's political opponent. He became the most noisy person in criticizing Jokowi's policies that were not pro-people.
This position makes Prabowo get a lot of sympathy from the Indonesian people. Prabowo is considered capable of voicing the people's voice. The meeting between the two in the 2019 presidential election was also presented. Both prepared their own strategies, even though Jokowi again emerged as the winner.
Unlike in the past, Jokowi actually embraced Prabowo into the government. Prabowo then became Minister of Defense. A position that made Prabowo's electability increase. Prabowo was then urged to run in the 2024 presidential election.
This condition is evidenced by the emergence of a Poltracking survey that places Prabowo at the top position and Ganjar Pranowo in second place who will win the position of President of Indonesia. The result actually made PDIP politician, Adian Napitupulu, mocking Prabowo on April 28, 2023.
"How can we be afraid or worry, if we fight against Prabowo who has lost many times. Prabowo has never had the experience of winning, his experience is always losing. "Actually it's not fun for us to compete with people who have lost many times. How is it, it's not fun," said PDIP politician Adian Napitupulu as quoted by lamantribunnews.com, April 28, 2023.
Adian's narrative that calls Prabowo not Ganjar Pranowo's opponent is a controversy. Pro and cons are presented. Those who support reveal what Adian said is a fact. Prabowo often loses.
Those who are against it assert that Adian's political stance is bad. Adian is considered not to show a dignified political stance. However, the Gerindra Party itself chose to forgive Adian Napitupulu on April 29, 2023. The option to forgive was taken because Prabowo often advises his cadres to always be humble.
"Every human being is attached to the traits that God has given him. There is a trait of patience, humility, loyalty, sincerity, pride or arrogance. And sometimes we don't realize it ourselves, and only others can judge."
"Regarding Adian's mockery, I think it is part of the human nature inherent in him, so we understand and forgive. Because Prabowo always teaches us all his cadres to be patient, humble, loyal and not arrogant," said Gerindra politician, Bambang Haryadi as quoted by lamandetik.com, 29 April 2023.
