JAKARTA - The Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN) said that Gibran Rakabuming Raka's question regarding Greenflation to Mahfud MD during the vice presidential debate had no direction. Greenflation in Indonesia is different from Europe's mechanism.

"The question itself contains two meanings. One is why it is questionable, two what is not clear from the mechanism in Indonesia which is indeed different from Europe. That's why this is the direction of the question," said TPN Expert Board Satya Heraghandi, Monday, January 21.

According to Satya, talking about energy in Indonesia, the most contributors are energy for daily vehicles, namely fuel, and electrical energy.

"Now in Indonesia there is nothing about greenflation, suddenly there is a question about greenflation, both (BBM and electricity) prices are relatively controlled by the government. So he wants the source or clean energy or from fuel fossil energy, currently the selling price is not different," Satya said.

Satya also mentioned about the yellow vest incident in France which Gibran called an example of the Greenflation case. Satya said it was different.

"Incidentally, what was taken for example in France, there was a demonstration called a yellow vest. This is really different," Satya explained.

The yellow vest demonstration in France, Satya said, occurred when diesel prices were raised to compensate for purchases or technology mechanisms to hold a renewable country and cleaner energy.

"When the diesel tax was added, this was what happened called the yellow vest demonstration earlier," said Satya.
