JAKARTA - Professor of Philosophy STF Driyakara, Franz Magnis-Suseno or Father Magnis assesses that it is legal for the president to disclose to the public regarding the figure he supports in the 2024 presidential election.
However, if the president uses his authority to make the person he supports win, it can be said to be a gross ethical violation.
This was stated by Father Magnis, who was presented as an expert by the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair 03 Ganjar-Mahfud at the 2024 presidential election dispute hearing at the Constitutional Court (MK), Tuesday, April 2.
"The president may tell him that he expects one of the candidates to win. But once he uses his position, his power to give instructions to ASN, police, military, and others to support one of the candidate pairs, as well as use the state treasury to finance travel in order to provide support to the candidate pair, he severely violates ethical demands," said Father Magnis.
On that occasion, Father Magnis also reminded the president not to use his power for his family. This, he continued, proves that a head of state does not have 100 percent insight from a president.
"If a president uses his power given to him by his nation to benefit his own family, it is very embarrassing. Because he proves that he does not have the insight of a 100 percent president of my people but only thinks about himself," he said.
