Presidential Candidate (Capres) number 2 Prabowo Subianto fought back against the attack from Presidential Candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan regarding Indonesia's defense data. Prabowo admitted that he was not covered up about this.

Initially, Anies demanded that Prabowo open the data openly. According to him, this needs to be done in a public space.

"Pak Anies, Pak Anies, I am not talking in private, I am speaking at the House of Representatives (DPR) of Commission I, where all parties that carry you, are present and agreed to what I propose," he said in the 2024 Presidential Candidate Debat quoted from the Indonesian KPU YouTube, Sunday, January 7.

According to Prabowo, the space and time in the presidential candidate debate this time is inadequate and open to holding discussions in other spaces, such as in the DPR RI together with Commission I as a partner of the Ministry of Defense.

Even so, Prabowo asked whether Anies Baswedan loved Indonesia. The reason is, he believes that not all data regarding Indonesia's defense conditions must be opened in public spaces.

"And also now the time is not there, so I invite us to talk openly. Open, please. But I remind you, father of love or not with this country? Do we want to open all our shortcomings, all our problems, we open in public is that appropriate?," he said.

"In a good country, in a developed country, it's a secret matter for professors. So it's a lie, I don't ask to be closed. I'm open, the House of Representatives commission is open," he continued.
