SERANG - Presidential Candidate Anies Baswedan said the government's big project must involve the aspirations of the community.

"We want the government's big project to consider the aspirations of the local community. So, residents must be heard. In this case, we want residents to have the opportunity to progress," said Anies Baswedan during a campaign at Rancanini Field, Padarincang District, Serang Regency, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 30.

Anieslantas emphasized, "Don't let the big ones enter the local ones watching."

If elected in the 2024 presidential election, the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar pair in the first 100 days will arrange food trading so that farmers are prosperous and the price of rice is cheap.

"Both of them got it. Therefore, we must do it together so that the Indonesian people can feel all the benefits," said the presidential candidate number 1.

To welcome Indonesia's change, Anies emphasized the importance of the Indonesian people to be just prosperous for all, resulting in equality.

"Not prosperous for some, while others are only spectators. From here we only get a spectacle. We want prosperity to be part of our changes," he said.

Anies said his party would expand employment opportunities for all as well as cheaper living expenses, cheap rice prices, available farmers' fertilizers, available fishermen's diesel, and animal feed for farmers available.

"We know that this is not complicated for the government, but it has not been a priority so far. We will make changes," he said.
