JAKARTA - The Indonesian Parliamentary Concerned Community Forum (Formappi) criticized the billboards of DPR Speaker Puan Maharani at a location affected by the eruption of Mount Semeru, Lumajang, East Java.
Formappi researcher, Lucius Karus, admitted that he was surprised by the move by the chairman of the PDIP DPP. The reason is that the installation of Puan Maharani's billboards is considered to prioritize the political side.
"It's just confusing for Puan to display herself on billboards in the disaster area. If the billboards are for her self-image, obviously it won't work. How can it be difficult for people to think about politics and the ambitions of the politicians on the billboards?," Lucius told reporters. , Tuesday, December 21.
Even though it was clear, continued Lucius, that the billboards would be in the public spotlight because they were located at the disaster site. In fact, the presence of political billboards has made the public even more cynical.
"So as a political strategy, the installation of billboards clearly doesn't make sense. Instead of achieving goals, these billboards will actually hinder Puan from achieving her goals," said Lucius.
"As Chair of the DPR, the installation of Puan's billboards also disturbs the image of the DPR as a representative institution. This institution should be at the forefront of providing a quick response through policy assistance from the government to overcome the impact of disasters," he continued.
According to Lucius, the DPR must be present with all its sincerity as part of the people to feel the suffering of the people because of the disaster but at the same time. As a representative of the people, he said, the DPR should not be lost in grief because it has to think about how to bring back the affected people so that they can immediately live normal lives.
"The lady as the Speaker of the DPR should be an example of genuine caring politics. She must be present with all her empathy," said Lucius.
According to him, the political impact of billboards will clearly outweigh Puan's empathetic approach at the disaster site. Therefore, Puan is advised to optimize her role in the DPR to ensure that the handling by the government of the affected people is handled properly.
"This role will be able to drown out the political effects of advertising billboards because the impact will last long in the minds of the people," said Lucius.
It is known that the billboards of the chairman of the DPR, Puan Maharani, were scattered around the villages affected by the eruption of Mount Semeru, Lumajang, East Java. "Cry, cry. Cheers, cheers me. It's time to get up and look to the future," reads the message on Puan's billboard
