Observer Says 'Boar' Vs. 'Bull' Feud Will Subside If Ganjar Intervenes
JAKARTA - The boar versus bull polemic is heating up in the PDIP's body. This feud describes the battle of the undercurrent and the upstream.
The lower streams represent the grassroots who are struggling to carry Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election. They claim to be volunteers whose presence is said to have not asked for Ganjar's permission. This group wants its cadres not to be involved in supporting the presidential candidate. Where all the cadres are asked to wait for the decision of the General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri. "This top group on the one hand wants its cadres not to talk about presidential candidates, but the general public already knows they support Puan Maharani to become a presidential candidate," said Esa Unggul University political communication observer, Jamiluddin Ritonga. , Friday, October 15th.
"This is what makes the undercurrents angry and rebellious. This group clearly ignores the term wild boar, even using it as a form of resistance to the upstream," he continued.
In fact, continued Jamiluddin, the feud would subside if Ganjar Pranowo wanted to intervene. Ganjar, he said, could openly ask the volunteers and PDIP cadres to stop supporting him. "If this is done by Ganjar, at least it will be revealed that the presence of the volunteers was completely without his permission. Volunteers declaring support are really not the wishes and requests of Ganjar or certain sponsors that Ganjar knows about," explained Jamiluddin. that Ganjar has the ambition to run for president. At the very least, Ganjar's statement that he only wants to work as governor will automatically be confirmed. Meanwhile, the currents will automatically no longer corner Ganjar. Ganjar will be judged as a bull's blood. "So, the key to resolving the bovine versus bull feud lies with Ganjar. The problem is, does Ganjar want to ask his volunteers to stop supporting him until Megawati decides on a presidential candidate from PDIP?" said Jamiluddin. It is known, the internal PDIP has heated up again after the chairman of the PDIP DPP Election Winning Body (Bappilu), Bambang Wuryanto, used the term 'boar' for PDIP cadres who support the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 presidential election.
“There is an adage in PDI-P that those outside the ranks are not bulls. It's called a boar. So, whatever the reason, the declaration, if it is outside the line, it's a boar," said Bambang Pacul, Bambang Wuryanto's greeting on one occasion.
