JAKARTA - PDI Perjuangan spoke up about the anger of the Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, when he learned that the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) laboratory car assistance from BNPB for the City of Surabaya was taken over by other regions. They regretted that this kind of incident had to occur in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and advised that there should be no political ego among regional heads.

PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto regretted this incident, considering that the city of Surabaya was deemed in desperate need of the aid car to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in its area.

"The city of Surabaya is a place where several referral hospitals for handling COVID-19 in East Java and Surabaya are also the most populous in East Java.

For this incident, Hasto then asked the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa and the East Java Province COVID-19 Task Force to be wiser and be able to see the priority scale related to handling this virus.

He also reminded that each party must put aside unnecessary political rivalries and leadership egos in the midst of the world like now. This message, continued Hasto, also applies to all its cadres who are currently serving as regional heads.

"All regional heads who come from the PDI-P are obliged to prioritize the interests of the people regardless of the political choices of their citizens and also not to discriminate against SARA. All must prioritize mutual cooperation for humanity and now is the time to work together," he said.

Previously reported, the Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, was very angry to learn that someone had robbed the COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) inspection car. This is because the cars sent by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) were originally for Surabaya.

The car was said to have been diverted to another area by the East Java Covid-19 Task Force. Risma's anger at the Surabaya City Hall, East Java, on Friday, May 29, was discovered in a circulating video. In the video Risma is calling someone with a loud tone.

However, the video uploaded by the @pdiperjuangan Instagram account does not specify who the party diverted the car. Likewise to the areas where the car was diverted.

"I don't accept it, sir! I was told that I couldn't work. If I don't want to do that, actually who can't work? If you want to boycott, that's not the way to do it," said Risma as seen in the @pdiperjuangan account.

Then, Risma coordinated and contacted various parties who had been asked for assistance to bring in the laboratory car. In fact, he reported the incident to the Chairperson of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 Doni Monardo.

After reporting, Risma said Doni promised to check the whereabouts of the COVID-19 PCR inspection car. This is because the two aid cars are prioritized for the handling of the cororna virus in the city of Surabaya.

"Friends, see for yourself, this is proof of my petition with Pak Doni. So, this is myself who begged him. Pity the patients who have been waiting," said Risma.

As previously reported, the COVID-19 Handling Acceleration Task Force sent a high-tech Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) virus inspection machine to Surabaya. This PCR machine is operated in the car making it easier for inspection mobility.

Chairman of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19, Doni Monardo, said the reason mobile combat was sent to East Java was because the level of transmission in this province was increasingly widespread. In the last few days, the number of COVID-19 transmission in East Java in one day was the highest compared to other provinces.
