JAKARTA - Land from the Aquarium Village area, North Jakarta was brought by DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to be used as a symbol of the unity of all governors in the National Capital City (IKN) of the Archipelago. PDIP is strongly criticized.

There are many reasons why PDIP should take a stand regarding the selection of soil samples brought by Anies. They questioned the governor's reasons.

Gembong Warsono, chairman of the PDIP faction of the DPRD DKI, said that the soil sample taken by Anies was incorrect. At that location, Anies' Village Aquarium settlement program only seemed to side with the small people.

However, there is a problem behind it. Gembong mentioned Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2014 concerning Detailed and Spatial Planning (RDTR) and Zoning.

According to the regulation, the Kampung Aquarium area is located on the red zone or government zone. After all, there were found historic buildings. Therefore, Gembong assessed that the government zone should not be built for settlements given the findings of historical buildings there.

"In the past it was a residential area, evictions were carried out and returned to its original function, namely for heritage. Now, it has been transformed back into a dwelling in the hope that Anies will take sides with the people, as if he is taking sides, but violates the rules," said Gembong when contacted, Monday, March 14.

Gembong hopes, the polemic that took place in Kampung Akuarium during Anies' leadership in Jakarta did not occur during the IKN development later.

"Don't let IKN get carried away with psychology like that, as if taking sides but violating the rules, you can't. IKN should not bring psychological factors like that," said Gembong.

For information, Anies went to IKN with land taken from the Aquarium Village. Anies reasoned that he took the land from the Aquarium Village area because it presented the hope that the construction of a new city that would be used as the capital would not marginalize the poor.

The land delivered to the land where a new city will be built and become the country's capital, he said, is expected to become a city that reflects the basic ideals of the Republic of Indonesia.

"The return of community life in Kampung Akuarium is a symbol of the return of the basic ideals of the founding of the Republic of Indonesia, namely protecting every blood spill and to bring social justice to all Indonesian people," Anies said in the @aniesbaswedan Instagram account.
