Political communication analyst Hendri Satrio assessed that the steps taken by the Retired Forum for TNI Soldiers who sent a letter to the Indonesian House of Representatives to discuss the discourse on impeaching Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka were correct.

According to him, the retired TNI should have sent a letter to the kaTENa DPR, which is the right institution to discuss this proposal.

Moreover, the DPR must also capture the aspirations of these retired people so that the issue of impeachment does not develop wildly in society.

"Yes, indeed, there should be retired TNI to send a letter, and previously I said that the DPR must capture the aspirations of these retired TNI journalists so that this impeachment issue is handled institutionally," he told Rifa from VOI.

Hendri Satrio added that handling through institutions such as the DPR is important so that these issues do not trigger uncontrollable polemics.

"Because the 8 proposals also discussed state planning, I think it should be arrested by the legislature or the DPR so that the issue is not wild," he explained.

On the other hand, Hendri sees this retired TNI as following up on the advice of the Presidential Special Advisor for Politics and Security Wiranto.

Previously, on April 25, 2025, Wiranto had said that the demands of the retired TNI to impeach Gibran were not Prabowo's field as president to respond.

"It seems that the retired people translated Wiranto's message. At that time, after Wiranto met Prabowo, Wiranto gave tips that to discuss Gibran's impeachment, it was not with Prabowo, because Prabowo as the President was the executive," Hendri told reporters.

Hendri saw that Wiranto's suggestion appeared to be followed by retired TNI officers, who finally sent a letter to the Indonesian House of Representatives to discuss the discourse on impeaching Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"So, these retired TNI officers are like following tips or directions from Wiranto who have met and discussed 8 of their proposals with Prabowo," he concluded.
