Emergency PPKM, PDIP: Don't Ban Crowds, But Let Demos

Because, he admits, the policy is not easy, it will even be difficult for the community. However, this rule must be carried out for the safety of themselves, their families and the entire nation's children from the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rahmad considered that the Emergency PPKM decision had to be taken because the implementation of micro-scale PPKM was still not effective. Thus, resulting in an explosion of new COVID-19 cases becoming uncontrollable. “The death toll continues to fall. Meanwhile, our health facilities are almost paralyzed because they are no longer able to serve COVID-19 patients. In an emergency situation like now, there is no other choice, emergency steps must be taken as soon as possible, namely implementing Emergency PPKM," said Rahmad to reporters, Thursday, July 1.

The PDIP politician also appealed to local governments, especially Java and Bali, to be firm and consistent in implementing this regulation in the field. According to him, local government assisted by state apparatus must be able to enforce the rules indiscriminately. Those who violate must be given sanctions according to the rules. “Remember, the weakness of the previous policy (PPKM Mikro, ed) was the enforcement of discipline. Don't let crowds be banned, demonstrations are allowed," said Rahmad.
