JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto admitted that he did not expect that 80.000 Red and White Village Cooperatives (Kopdes) could be formed and inaugurated in July. Initially, he thought the inauguration would take place in October 2025.

"But I'm honest, in my heart, that's it, about October, November it will be formed, right? Suddenly the report, 'Mr. We are July ready to be inaugurated'. Hah? How much? 80,000 everything. Really? Thank you," Prabowo said at the launch of 80,000 Red and White Kopdes, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat YouTube, Monday, July 21.

He also appreciated the entire team involved in the formation of the 80,000 Kopdes. According to him, if you have strong motivation, how could it be realized.

"So it turns out, if we have good intentions, good intentions, strong encouragement, strong motivation, can. What can't, so we can. 80,000 (head of the village) is just an institution," he explained.

He also admitted that he did not want the Kopdes launch event to be carried out on a large scale. Moreover, the 80,081 Kopdes currently inaugurated have only been formed in a dark way. This means that not all of them are operational.

"Actually, I don't want a massive event to be just an institution. But I was convinced, 'Sir, there are more than 100, 108 models that are already standing'," he said.

However, continued Prabowo, because he saw the enthusiasm of the regents and mayors, he agreed to the launch of the Red and White Kopdes program.

Because the regents are enthusiastic, the mayor is enthusiastic, everyone supports it. There are assets that are not used, handed over to cooperatives. So, I think okay, to encourage confidence, we launched them," he said.
