JAKARTA - Secretary of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Nusron Wahid, responded to the speech of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri who alluded to the current authorities such as the ruler of the New Order (Orba).

Nusron said that his party respects Megawati as the daughter of the proclaimer and 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia. However, she was surprised by Megwati's statement, because the current ruler is the result of his own sweat.

"Today's power was formed by Mrs. Megawati herself for 10 years, because Mr. Jokowi in the 2014 presidential election was promoted by PDIP and supported by crowds, including our support. And in 2019 it was also supported by PDIP and was later said to be similar to the new order. I said who is the new order?," said Nusron at the Media Center TKN Prabowo-Gibran on Jalan Sriwijay 1, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 28.

The Golkar politician explained that the signs of a new order are when there is a centralization of power in the hands of one party. Nusron also mentioned the mobilization of the state civil apparatus (ASN) to win certain presidential candidates which has been busy lately.

"Now, is the characteristics in Pak Jokowi? Nothing, this power is decentralized to various parties. The Coordinating Minister for the Economy is from Golkar and then the minister of state apparatus is from the PDIP. So if later it is said to be similar to a new order because there is a mobilization of ASN that is most responsible for mobilizing ASN that can do that is Menpan RB. The Menpan RB is from, well I don't mention it, from certain parties," said Nusron.

Tan is only the PAN-RB minister, Nusron also quipped the minister of social affairs and the minister of law and human rights regarding the potential for mobilizing support. Where the minister actually comes from the current ruling party.

"The second mobilization is the mobilization of social protection personnel such as PKH assistants who have the potential to be mobilized. Now, it can only be done by the minister of social affairs and the Ministry of Social Affairs as well as centralized by certain parties," he explained.

"Then what can be mobilized is the prison as well. We know that coincidentally the ministers also come from certain parties. Then number 4 are village assistants who can influence village heads, village development is claimed to be equally scared if they don't participate, they won't go to the village development department. The ministers are from certain parties. So if later today's government is said to be a new order, the characteristics of the new order are the centralization of power in the hands of one party. Today there is no centralization of power in the hands of one party, "explained Nusron.

Nusron also brought up the question of the alleged integrity pact signed by the head of BIN Papua to win the presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo.

According to Nusron, this action almost resembles a new order sign because intelligence agencies are used for the purpose of scaring people.

"I know and we all understand and it was done by a certain partner, not by Pak Jokowi and we both know that this apparatus also has a close relationship with whose parties," said Nusron.

"So with this statement it becomes irrelevant if today power is considered to be frightening, who threatens this? Who is being threatened? Now, this is called spreading the illusion that will be created like a kind of psychological war whose nature will be post truth, which is as if we never care about the law based on facts or based on illusions," he continued.

"So once again accusing today's power of accusing such behavior of a new order of accusing the behavior of the ministers of certain political parties," said Nusron.
