PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said Ganjar Prabowo was very good at strengthening the geopolitical aspect which became one of the themes in the third debate of the 2024 Presidential Election or Presidential Election, today. In contrast to Prabowo Subianto, who is considered not to have a perspective as Minister of Defense (Menhan).

"If we look at Pak Prabowo as Minister of Defense, what is his achievement?" said Hasto to reporters, Sunday, January 7.

Hasto also highlighted the large number of foreign refugees entering Indonesia. But the government is considered not to have carried out diplomacy properly to overcome this problem.

"We often get complaints secretly from the ranks, there is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which often Mr. Prabowo has an official different attitude from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," he said.

Therefore, Hasto said that Indonesia needs a leader who builds collective power and has geopolitical awareness.

Ganjar Pranowo is called the most appropriate figure. This is because all the criteria are owned by the presidential candidate number three.

"Pak Ganjar was born from a party school, so he really understands geopolitical aspects. To build a defense force, there is no need to form a military technology PT which is filled by Pak Prabowo's friends," he said.

"That can be done by Pak Ganjar, the differentiation is very clear. One is building our national power on the basis of our interests, one is on a short-term basis," continued Hasto.

Meanwhile, the third debate for the 2024 presidential election will be held at Istora Senayan, Jakarta and will start at 19.00 WIB. The theme of the presidential candidate debate will be defense, security, international relations, globalization, geopolitical and foreign politics.
