Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto/DOK PDIP

JAKARTA - The celebration of the 49th Anniversary of the PDI-P will still be held until next May.

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said the event was a manifestation of the theme taken in this year's PDIP anniversary celebration, namely 'Wake Up Your Soul and Body for Greater Indonesia'.

There are a number of events that will be held. Including launching the Indonesian Love of the Homeland (Sicita) Gymnastics movement so that young people want to exercise.

"Building a healthy tradition with Sicita exercise was made in collaboration with several friends from the Jakarta State University who are known for their expertise in sports, in sports science, and later also supported by Prof. Komarudin," said Hasto in a written statement, Monday, January 10.

This Sicita exercise, he continued, is claimed to have a movement that has been studied for its properties, such as being able to burn 1000 calories.

"This is important, including for politicians to maintain their physical fitness," he said.

Not only that, there will also be a movement to plant 10 types of food crops to accompany rice and an agenda for drinking traditional herbal medicine which will be encouraged so that there are various forms of traditions that live in the community.

Next, PDIP will hold a coffee festival in the country which is full of philosophical meaning. The festival will be held for three days and culminates on March 11 to coincide with National Coffee Day.

"So on March 11, we will showcase the extraordinary diversity of Indonesian coffee, and later we will achieve the MURI record for drinking coffee simultaneously throughout the country," said Hasto.

He said that this coffee festival also has a philosophical meaning where drinking coffee is done without a mixture of sugar, so it is good for the body.

"Because with coffee without sugar the bitter essence is part of the art of life, because being a politician sometimes faces the bitterness of life, not the sweetness of sugar but the bitterness of bringing the aroma, bringing enthusiasm," he said.

Then, the activity will also be enlivened by the Banteng Ride and Run Night event which is also expected to achieve a MURI record. This event will be followed by bicycle lovers and will feature onthel bikes, road bikes, and stationary bikes.

This activity is also filled with social actions in the form of donations from registrants in the amount of Rp. 100 thousand and the collected donations will buy thousands of bicycles and shoes for teachers in remote areas.

"So the agenda for the anniversary is a lot, taking place from January 10 to May 31. Apart from that there is still a movement to protect the motherland and reforestation that continues. The Sicita gymnastics movement will be carried out from all levels to the branches, so that we train our soul and body, we will be ready to win the 2024 election and score a hat trick in the upcoming general election," he concluded.
