JAKARTA - PDI-P politician (PDIP), Aria Bima, responded to the statement of the 7th President Joko Widodo which alluded to the big agenda behind the issue of fake diplomas to the impeachment of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. Aria assessed that his feelings were common in politics so that he did not need to be made public.

"I mean, Pak Jokowi also understands that, understands that problem and that is what he has to overcome, which does not need to be conveyed to the public," said Aria at the DPR building, Tuesday, July 15.

Aria emphasized that the public currently does not need complaints from Jokowi, especially those related to personal matters.

"It seems that the people do not need complaints, which are related to the personal affairs of current leaders," he said.

The people, continued Aria, actually hope for a solution that can generate optimism in the midst of a difficult economic situation.

"It can be asked by MSME actors, farmers can ask questions, it can be asked to fishermen, it can be asked to most of the unemployed people who have reached such a high, the poverty rate has reached 60 percent of our people," he explained.

Therefore, the Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR hopes that Jokowi can show his role as a statesman who provides direction and hope for the community.

"So, there needs to be an injection of encouragement as a statesman and I believe he can actually convey statements or directions for this people to rise," he concluded.

Previously, Jokowi admitted that he smelled the "big political agenda" behind the series of issues that hit him after he no longer served as president.

According to him, the fake diploma issue and the discourse on impeaching Vice President Gibran were part of a systematic effort to damage his political reputation.

"This is my political feeling, there is a big political agenda to reduce my political reputation, to downgrade," Jokowi said in an interview with reporters in Solo, Monday, July 14.

Nevertheless, Jokowi emphasized that he was not influenced and considered these accusations as normal.

"It's normal," said Jokowi.
