JAKARTA - The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri is the supervisor of the 79th Indonesian Independence Day ceremony in the At-Taufiq Mosque courtyard located in front of the PDIP DPP Party School on Lenteng Agung Raya Street, South Jakarta.

In reading the mandate of the ceremonial coach, the General Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) revealed that now there are efforts to distort history through power. In fact, the constitution can be changed arbitrarily.

"Constitution which should be the main basis for leaders and all Indonesian people to be carried out in as straight a way as possible, can turn their direction arbitrarily," said Megawati, Saturday, August 17.

Megawati said that the law in Indonesia, which supports the sovereignty of the people, is currently being tried with the sovereignty of power. According to her, the law is shifted by the meaning of true justice to intimidation.

"Legal products are also full of procedural legality without legal philosophy and their use for the benefit of the people. All these efforts run systematically with the packaging of their characters that seem popular," explained Megawati.

The most concerning thing, for Megawati, is when people's sovereignty as the main pillar of democracy is now changed in character and many have fears in their lives.

"It seems that many people can't speak the truth, their mouths are locked, their mouths are silent," said President Soekarno's daughter.

Megawatis was originally invited to the capital city of the archipelago (IKN) to take part in the national ceremony of the 79th Indonesian Independence Day led by President Joko Widodo as ceremony inspector.

At the PDIP DPP, the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia entered the ceremonial field at around 09.00 WIB. A moment of the ceremony began, the ceremonial leader gave a report to Megawati on the readiness of the flag-raising troops.

Pakibra Cakra Buana then entered the ceremonial field to fly the flag accompanied by the anthem Indonesia Raya. Then, a moment of silence begins.

Furthermore, the text of the proclamation was read by Komaruddin Watubun, the text of Pancasila by Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Ganip Warsito, and the reading of the 1945 Constitution (UUD) of the Republic of Indonesia by Yoseph Aryo Adhi Dharma. Then, Megawati read out the ceremonial mandate followed by a prayer closing the ceremony.
