Many appreciate Mrs. Megawati for her determination in principles to maintain democracy. Even though Mrs. Mega and the PDI-P's attitude in rejecting the extension of their position and three terms of office have consequences in the 2024 election, it is Mrs. Mega's strength towards the constitution that makes her appear as a guardian of democracy," said Hasto as quoted from his written statement, Tuesday, January 23.

"By embedding his struggle, various intimidation that is currently happening, it becomes a fertilizer spirit to be stronger in upholding people's sovereignty as the highest law in determining leaders," he concluded.
