JAKARTA - The candidate for mayor of South Tangerang (Tangsel), Siti Nurazizah, emphasized the importance of political policies and budget alignment in overcoming social imbalances or disparities in Tangsel. For Nurazizah, who is also the daughter of Vice President Ma'ruf Amin, leaders have the responsibility to ensure the welfare of their citizens.

"We see that in such conditions with diversity, the state must be present. Leaders must have political will, take sides with regulations, take sides with the budget and how to encourage community participation in the development process that leads to efforts to equalize progress. Because in Tangsel City the most basic problem is inequality, ”said Siti Nurazizah in the South Tangerang Regional Election debate broadcast on Youtube Kompas TV, Sunday, November 22.

Nurazizah's statement answered panelists' questions through a moderator regarding Tangsel being a battleground for newcomers and old residents, causing gaps.

Once again, Nurazizah emphasized political will as well as encouraging community participation. He promised to encourage new entrepreneurs in Tangsel.

"New entrepreneurs are given space to do business and encourage economic clusters so that people can participate in promoting the economic movement," he continued.

Meanwhile, candidate number 1 for the mayor of Tangsel Muhamad talked about the Tangsel tagline for All. According to him, Tangsel has a diverse population. Therefore, conflicts should not be ignited in society.

“Tangsel is not only a miniature of Indonesia, but it is said to be a miniature of the world. All ethnic groups in the world are in Tangsel. Mutual care, respect to be comfortable, safe and friendly, ”said Muhamad in the Tangsel Pilkada debate

Muhamad, who is paired with Rahayu Saraswati Djojohadikusumo, also has special attention to job creation, especially for young people. COVID-19 is said to have affected the community so that they have to lose their jobs.

"COVID is of course a lot of unemployment, for that we can create job opportunities for young people," said Muhamad.
