Presidential candidate (candidate) number three, Ganjar Pranowo, said that the people should not be treated like tortured chickens, but given sugar if needed.

According to him, the Indonesian people have been able to determine their fate, especially their choice in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) contestation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't want the people to be treated like chickens, tortured to remove their fur. Then, when he was invited, his stomach was locked with sugar. People are not chickens, people can determine their own fate," said Ganjar when giving a speech at the Ganjar-Mahfud Grand Campaign at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Saturday, February 3, 2024.

Ganjar had mentioned that there were volunteers for candidate pairs (paslon) number three who received intimidation and acts of violence in Wonosari.

However, there was the courage to fight the related parties until finally the unfair treatment was known by many and became a concern.

Therefore, the courage must be possessed by the whole community so that there will be no more arbitrary treatment.

"So, we need to encourage this courage continuously. We need to appoint this courage and that is the role of all of you," he said.

In fact, at this time, said Ganjar, all parties have started to loudly talk about criticizing the democratic crisis in Indonesia. So, that spirit must be maintained so that democracy continues to run well.

"Budayawan has spoken, journalists have voiced, civil society, including scientists, have left campus to state that. This is a strong warning to democracy in Indonesia," said Ganjar.
