JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo is not willing to comment on criticism of the government submitted at the V PDI-P National Working Meeting because he views it as internal to the party.

In his speech, Megawati talked about various things starting from populist authoritarian leaders, talking about birth reform to realize a democratic law state, to the revision of the Constitutional Court Law and the broadcasting law.

Regarding the revision of the Constitutional Court Law, Megawati said that the revision of the law seemed sudden with incorrect procedures.

He also mentioned the revision of the Broadcasting Law which was considered to violate the essence of investigative journalism products.
