JAKARTA - Mamat Alkatiri's communication caused a stir when appearing on the YouTube channel Political Criticism. Various things from the world of Indonesian politics ranging from parties, baper politicians to the political system cannot be separated from Mamat's criticism.
Mamat appeared with Perindo politician Deborah Debby Wage. Even with heavy political material, full of twists and turns, the presence of actor Onadio Leonardo gave a fresh, light color, and invited laughter for each audience.
As an opener, Mamat answered a sharp question to Debby about his interest in politics. For Mamat, current politicians appear to represent themselves, their groups, families, and companies, not for the people.
"From a politician, whether you are involved in politics is purely because you want to change something or because you are pushed in a ravine, like it or because there is a company interest that you have to score inside," Mamat was quoted as saying from WG TV's YouTube'Criticizing the Politics of Eps 1: Mamat Alkatiri Mengababkan Onad Ketakutan, Wednesday, January 11.
Debby then answered the beginning of interest in politics. Starting from his scientific field as a student, a thesis related to the portrait of poverty in Indonesia to his initial job as a journalist.
There are many things that young politicians encounter and create conflicts in themselves. For example, slanted views about the legislature which are full of intrigue, dirty politics and so on.
"So everything is not final. And what can I do? What struggle needs to be done! Or because I have made a thesis on poverty, the struggle is to make people more prosperous, what policies should be taken. This is important because the welfare of the community is influenced by public policies," explained Debby.
Debby's answer made Mamat cynical. Because there are many politicians out there who answer that what is done is only for the people, but the result is zero, big. He hoped that Debby would not be a part of it.
"One day if Kak Debby has a brilliant political career, the public can collect from this video. This is a digital footprint. What do you say is public policy that affects the boss's company or..." Mamat said with a laugh.
It didn't stop there, Mamat then highlighted the circulation of money in political parties or during campaigns. As a politician, Debby should be aware that this dirty environment clearly affects his attitude later.
Debby denies Mamat's view. Politicians' struggle cannot be done alone. Supposedly, the politician collaborates with other parties to fight together and not get caught up in money politics.
Including influencers whose current presence as supervisory funnels for the government or the performance of political parties.
"The struggle must be crowded, influencers unite. Now everything is divided. There are influencers A and B, politicians A and B. If we want to move forward, we don't fight one by one, it's crowded," said Debby.
