Presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan responded to Surya Paloh's meeting with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) at the Palace last night. According to Anies, the meeting has not been confirmed to produce a coalition, it is just a spectacle. "If the meeting (Surya Paloh with Jokowi) stops the media two or three days after that, it's just serious. But it hasn't happened yet, it means that it's just a spectacle," said Anies at the Mampang Prapatan AMIN Legal Team Command Post, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 20. Anies emphasized that the party carrying AMIN, namely Nasdem, PKB and PKS, remained solid and continued to be together even though the media was not visible. "We are all solid, nothing has changed, Anies-Muhaimin continues to work together. We want to work intensively every day continuously. Indeed, it doesn't always appear in the media, because it's not campaign day," explained Anies Baswedan. Previously, President Jokowi met with the chairman of Nasdem Surya paloh at the Palace on Sunday night according to the inauguration of the State Defense Center Hospital.

President Jokowi did not explain in detail what was meant by being a 'bridge' when asked about it.
