Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka revealed that the revitalization of the Surakarta and Sriwedari Palace areas is two homeworks (PR) which he hopes will run in 2023 after stagnant last year.

However, the son of President Joko Widodo conveyed that the internal conflict at the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace made the work of one of his two homeworks not going smoothly in 2023.

"The homework regarding development has progress in all planning. Maybe what I think is still stuck, I still need special attention from the Palace, and Sriwedari. Those two big homeworks are mine," said Gibran, quoted from the Surakarta News YouTube channel, Tuesday, January 3.

Gibran emphasized that only areas such as pedestrians and their surroundings are included in the revitalization or arrangement. Not including, he said, settlements within the area he had mentioned.

He explained that currently the internal conflict in the Surakarta Palace has not yet reached a common ground among the warring ones. Although, he said, the Solo Police had been included in handling this riot to try to restore ending the conflict

Therefore, Gibran was reluctant to bother with this. He prefers to complete the revitalization in the Sriwedari area first, whose cultivation can be planned in the near future.

"Sriwedari already has a bright spot. For the Palace, yesterday he was summoned by the Chief of Police (Solo) for mediation, he didn't come. The focus is on Mangkunegaran Temple and Mangkunegaran Temple. The things I usually touch," he said.

The Surakarta Palace is back in chaos for the umpteenth time allegedly triggered by an internal family conflict on Friday, December 23 evening. It is reported that a number of people were injured in the internal conflict.

The riot allegedly occurred between Paku Buwono XIII (Hangabehi) and the camp of the Customary Council (LDA) led by GKR Koes Moertiyah or familiarly called Gusti Moeng.
