JAKARTA - Secretary of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Nusron Wahid, saw no clear signs of power under President Joko Widodo's leadership leading to the practice of the New Order, as stated by PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri. If it is true that Jokowi's government is like the New Order, Nusron assesses, criticizing as Megawati has definitely been arrested.

Nusron explained that one of the requirements for the New Order to carry out arbitrariness is that the government is filled with very limited political parties. In the past, he said, there were only three political parties but now there are 18 parties.

In addition, other characteristics of the New Order, there is silencing of people who speak critically to the government.

"For the New Order, there is a criticism as was done by Mrs. Mega has been arrested. But today what happened or not. On the contrary, people who are proven to be insulting the president are allowed to ignore it and there is no process of arresting it," said Nusron at the Media Center TKN Prabowo-Gibran, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 28.

According to the member of the DPR, the government built by Jokowi has been on the track according to the flow of information. Nusron invites all parties not to back down from the reforms that have been passed by the Indonesian people.

"On the track on the democratization process in accordance with the spirit of reform, we have both committed to democratization and we are directly together and cannot walk backwards or be withdrawn," he said.

The Golkar politician emphasized that his party really respects Megawati as the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as the daughter of the Proclaimer, Soekarno. He considered that Megawati's statement was an expression of anxiety as parents and anxiety as the supporting party who hoped that Jokowi would be used as a tool for political parties and officers of certain political parties.

"But Pak Jokowi prefers to be a state officer and a people's officer rather than be an officer of a political party," said Nusron.
