Hasto Kristiyanto Soroti Pelemahan Rupiah dan Korupsi Saat Peringatan Bung Karno
JAKARTA - Secretary General of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) Hasto Kristiyanto highlighted the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate and the practice of corruption that still occurs when commemorating the 125th birthday of the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno.
In a press release received in Jakarta, Saturday, Hasto assessed that the condition was the impact of government governance that had not run well.
"The weakening of the rupiah, the decline in the stock price index, and the sluggish real sector which is under pressure, as well as various corruption cases over populist policies are the fruits of state governance that do not run well," said Hasto, quoted by Antara.
According to him, this condition is also influenced by the weak legal system which can give rise to various practices of injustice.
Therefore, Hasto reminded the spirit of Soekarno as a proclaimer in fighting colonialism and injustice.
"Bung Karno emphasized that what the Indonesian people were fighting against was not the Dutch, but rather a lust that sucked and suffered," he said.
He emphasized the importance of making Trisakti Bung Karno a guideline in strengthening the nation, both in terms of law and economy.
Trisakti Bung Karno consists of the principles of sovereignty in the political field, self-reliance in the economic field, and personality in culture.
According to Hasto, the implementation of these three principles can strengthen the nation while upholding the legal system and justice for the community.
"Trisakti Bung Karno is the will, determination, and way to become a strong nation to face a system that gives birth to the suffering of the people. Bung Karno's idea has proven to be the foundation and compass of the nation's struggle," he said.
He hopes that all parties will make Sukarno's thinking a compass in efforts to advance the nation.
"That is the fire of Bung Karno's struggle that must continue to be lit," said Hasto.
