PAN Asks Bawaslu For Strict Sanctions For Presidential And Vice Presidential Candidates To Give False Data During Debate

Debate On The Presidential Candidate For The Second Presidential Election Of The KPU In Jakarta, Sunday 7 January (VOI)

JAKARTA - Chairman of the DPP PAN Saleh Partaonan Daulay, asked the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) to give strict sanctions to any candidate pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates who provide inaccurate or incorrect data in the 2024 presidential election debate. Because according to him, the figure of the presidential and vice presidential candidates will be a role model for the community. "Therefore, it is very inappropriate if there are candidate pairs who speak and convey wrong and misleading data," Saleh said in his statement to VOI, Wednesday, January 10. Saleh then mentioned Presidential Candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, who was judged to be disinformation and seemed provocative. Even like deliberately attacking Presidential Candidate number 2 personally. "Yesterday, Mr. Anies not only conveyed wrong and provocative data. But it was very clear that before the debate everything had been prepared. The data has been prepared with the target of dropping and embarrassing Prabowo. Actions like this are very inappropriate and far from customs and values of harmony," explained the chairman of the PAN faction of the DPR. that. The secretary of TKN Prabowo-Gibran also revealed some of the wrong data submitted by Anies. First, Anies said that the Ministry of Defense spent IDR 700 trillion in budget to buy used defense equipment. Second, the land controlled by Prabowo covering an area of 340 hectares which was later corrected by mentioning 340 thousand hectares. "The issue of the budget, is very misleading if all of them are called buying used defense equipment. In fact, the budget is a budget for 5 years of the defense ministry. "And it was used collectively by the TNI AD, AU, AL, and the costs needed for the operation and welfare of the soldiers," said Saleh. "If the ownership is still going on, not a single rule has been violated. In fact, the ownership, according to Jusuf Kalla, was taken by Prabowo not to be controlled by foreigners," he said. "From these two cases alone, it seems that Anies has bad intentions to bring down and embarrass Prabowo," continued Saleh. The member of the DPR for the North Sumatra II electoral district assessed that there was an attempt to embarrass Prabowo. Therefore, according to Saleh, it is not surprising that many videos of women crying and viral on social media because they feel sorry and sorry for the former Danjen Kopassus. "Don't be slandered again if Prabowo is playing victim. "Not a bit of a intention to do that. But the fact is that Prabowo has indeed become a victim of bullying," he said.

Once again, Saleh urged Bawaslu to immediately take firm action against Anies. If it is not processed, he is worried, this kind of action will repeat itself. "It is very bad for improving the quality of democracy in Indonesia. Because, everyone must feel that bullying is a bad act. It is inappropriate for anyone to do, especially by the candidates for national leaders," he concluded.
