JAKARTA - Political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, M. Jamiluddin Ritonga, also responded to the statement by the Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM, Bahlil Lahadalia, who said that the business world wanted the 2024 presidential election to be postponed to 2027 on the grounds of economic recovery due to the pandemic.
According to him, the desire of businessmen to increase the term of office of President Joko Widodo can be interpreted as an effort to justify or justify.
"The voices of business people will be used as a justification for the undercurrents who want Jokowi as a person who is able to restore the Indonesian economy in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Jamiluddin, Thursday, January 13.
For that, he continued, Minister Bahlil seemed to be the mouthpiece of business people to convey their aspirations. Here, said Jamiluddin, it is not clear whether Bahlil is using or being used by business people to become a mouthpiece to convey his political aspirations.
"If Bahlil utilizes business people, it means that the initiative to increase the presidential term comes from him. Business people are conditioned to convey these aspirations to him and then forward them to Jokowi and the legislature directly or through the mass media," Jamiluddin explained.

On the other hand, said Jamiluddin, businessmen could use Bahlil Lahadalia to convey their aspirations to Jokowi and the legislature.
"Here, Bahlil is willing to be used as a spokesman for business people, even though it is not his duty and function as the Minister of Investment," he said.
"Even though Bahlil knows that this is not possible by the Indonesian constitution. But he still voices it so that what he conveys can become public opinion," he continued.
According to Jamiluddin, armed with this false public opinion he feared would be used as a justification for amending the constitution. Methods like this, he said, are mostly done in democratic countries where the oligarchs play a very important role.
"The oligarchs are good at forming false public opinion to achieve their wishes. The false public opinion is then used as a shield to urge to change the regulations that hinder their wishes," he said.
The oligarchs, Jamiluddin added, will not care about the pure public opinion of the people. The results of the survey which stated that the majority of the people did not want an additional term of office for the president or the president for three terms will automatically be disguised.
The oligarchs, he said, will also use many ways to continue to voice the addition of the presidential term. They will do this by using many parties as spokespersons for forming false opinions until their goals are realized.
"Therefore, pro-democracy parties must carefully read the movements of the oligarchs in forming false public opinion. Because once a false public opinion is formed, they will use it as a justification for realizing their goals," said Jamiluddin.
