JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said politics must learn from sports. You see, both of them have something in common because they cannot be reached through shortcuts.

This was conveyed by Hasto after carrying out the handover procession for the Nan Tak Kunjung Padam Fire Torch ahead of the PDIP V National Working Meeting at the Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta, Thursday, May 23, 2024.

One of the agendas is running from Kemayoran, North Jakarta.

"Hopefully this will inflame the spirit of sportsmanship because politics must learn from sports. Politics is often colored by power ambitions, politics is often colored by shortcuts, sport knows no shortcuts, does not recognize carbitan politics, brothers and sisters," said Hasto in his remarks.

Hasto said that in sports there are also rules that must be obeyed. All participants should not be careless.

"Everyone obeys the rules of the game. In sports, referees are neutral. In sports, sportsmanship is put forward, no one cheats without being noticed by the referee," he said.

This condition made the party bearing the bull symbol learn politics from sports. Hasto hopes that all the nation's children can do it too.

"We believe in the nation's children that they prefer to pursue achievements even though they have to fall up in their beliefs. That is the PDI-P, learning from every political event and this time we learn from the world of sports," said Hasto.

"Hopefully politics will be inspired by the world of sports. So, let's show the culture of achievement, we show the culture of the process, we show a culture of fairness. Sports means moving forward, advancing, never stepping back. The spirit of moving forward is what we are pushing," he concluded.
