Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto (ANTARA)

Secretary General of the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto commented on the statement of presidential candidate number two, Prabowo Subianto, who mentioned ‘etik ndasmu’. He said, the public could see this as a reflection of power's ambition by justifying all means. It is known that Prabowo's statement was busy in the spotlight after the X account, @ARSIPAJA uploaded a 20-second video on Saturday, December 16 yesterday. The Danjen Kopassus allegedly insinuated the number one presidential candidate, Anies Baswedan when the agenda closed at the Gerindra Party National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Friday, December 15. Pak Prabowo's statement is a reflection of his power ambition by justifying all means. When moral ethics is placed under power, it is tantamount to blinding conscience, Hasto said in a written statement to reporters, Monday, December 18. This statement was later called Hasto and also received a negative response from the community. According to him, he did not just talk because this finding was obtained when PDIP and presidential candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo blusukan. "We found that the people responded very negatively to Pak Prabowo's statement. ‘ Ethics ndasmu ’ it really hurts the Indonesian people,” he said. Furthermore, Hasto assessed that this statement was also emotional. So, the public should be able to think that Prabowo's character and leadership style are not the same as President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Because, he doesn't seem to think of an ethical importance. “ It must be realized that ethics and morals stem from religion and the philosophy of life that grows in society. Ignoring ethics means neglecting good living institutions, ” he said. This is clearly different from the Ganjar-Mahfud pair who always prioritize morals and ethics. Both are considered to always spread kindness as the basic character of a leader. "At the same time, the people are now increasingly aware that Ganjar-Mahfud is a leader who places ethics, morals, character, and determination to spread kindness as a basic character that must be possessed by the leader," said Hasto. Previously reported, Prabowo Subianto was busy talking about netizens because the video clip gave a speech when the Gerindra Party National Coordination Meeting went viral. "How do you feel, Mas Prabowo? About ethics. Ethics, ethics. What is ethics," Prabowo was quoted as saying from the video upload of the X account, @ARSIPAJA on Saturday. Meanwhile, Spokesperson (Jubtor) Prabowo Subianto, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak said the statement ‘ndamu etik’ didn't mean to be serious. “ Pak Prabowo likes to joke, Mr. Prabowo jokes to Gerindra cadres. A thousand percent joke, ” Dahnil told reporters in his written statement, Saturday, December 16. Dahnil said that there was no problem with Prabowo's relationship with other presidential candidates such as Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo. Even so, he had mentioned Anies Baswedan's spokesman who had spoken about Gibran Rakabuming Raka who was considered suitable to accompany the former Danjen Kopassus. Likewise, the Ganjar camp once said the same thing. “ Anies Baswedan's official spokesman also said: If Gibran becomes Vice President Anies then it can make it easier for Anies to work if there is a previous presidential program that will be stopped. Even so, Mas Ganjar, from the beginning of Mbak Puan (Chairman of the PDIP DPP Puan Maharani) opened the door to the possibility of Mas Gibran being Mas Ganjar's representative,” he said.

“ I mean Pak Prabowo, let's check our thoughts together, our hearts. It's kind of a reflection over the weekend, don't be like people who are denied their love but then completely vilify their idol, ” concluded Dahnil.
