JAKARTA - The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia and the General Chair of the PDI-P Party Megawati Soekarnoputri views the 80th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia as a moment of revival.
"Friends in arms, my children from the country of water, the anniversary of the 80th Independence of the Republic of Indonesia must be a momentum for revival, and a spirit of mutual cooperation. Not only us, but also the people of all," Megawati said as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, August 17.
In addition, he reminded the entire community that Indonesia's post-independence struggle would be more difficult, as stated by the 1st President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno.
"I want to remind you, as Bung Karno said, 'My struggle is easier because it only expels the invaders, but your struggle will be more difficult because it is against your own nation'," he said.
He also said that there were challenges in the post-independence struggle that were not limited to physical colonialism, but the new style of colonialism that infiltrated policies, economy, and even culture.
"Let's maintain the independence we get, and fight for this hard. We take care of the unity of the nation, and we fight for social justice for all Indonesian people," he said.
Meanwhile, he reminded the PDIP cadres who were present at the commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of Indonesian Independence not to feel higher than the people.
"If anyone uses the party for personal gain, remember, we are just a tool of struggle. Once again, the tool of struggle, not the goal of struggle itself to strengthen ourselves, power for ourselves," said Megawati.
Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia in 2025 has the theme "United Sovereign, Prosperous People, Advanced Indonesia".
The theme reflects the spirit of nationality that continues to be maintained as the foundation for moving forward to the future.
