JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto emphasized that the application for amicus theft by PDIP Chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri was not a form of intervention in the sovereignty of the Constitutional Mahkahmah (MK).

Although, Megawati Soekarnoputri is known to be the fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as the General Chair of the PDIP.

"Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri and the PDI-P will not intervene in the sovereignty of the Constitutional Court judges," Hasto told reporters, Tuesday, April 16.

According to him, Megawati volunteered as an amicus of stealing only limited to conveying her thoughts related to the dispute over the dispute over the results of the 2024 presidential election (PHPU) at the Constitutional Court.

"We only convey the feelings, thoughts and feelings of how this country was built, how this Constitutional Court was founded as a bulwark of constitution and a bulwark of democracy," he said.

"Even the place was chosen by Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri in ring 1 of the palace as a symbol that the Constitutional Court is very authoritative, very credible, so why do the requirements have statesmanship," continued Hasto.

He emphasized that Megawati and PDIP really respect the independence of the Constitutional Justices. However, it is still hoped that the decisions set will be based on justice.

"We are smarti the entire independence and sovereignty of the Constitutional Court judges, we only hope that the decision is taken with conscience as part of the mitigation of the political crisis and perhaps an economy that we really don't expect but as a bulwark of democracy and the constitution that decision is taken based on a true justice," said Hasto.
