JAKARTA - A photo has circulated of a meeting between the Chair of the Political and Security Affairs of the PDI-P (PDIP) Puan Maharani and the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
The moment published by PDIP politician Charles Honoris through his Instagram account, @charleshonoris, Sunday, June 13, was sniffed out as Puan's political maneuver. This is because this is the second time that the daughter of the PDIP chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri has arrived without the Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo being accompanied.
In fact, on Saturday, June 12, Puan, who is the chairman of the DPR, was scheduled to visit Solo City Hall. His arrival was to provide 20,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine for Central Java residents in Solo, Boyolali, Sukoharjo, and Klaten, in order to increase the availability and accelerate vaccine distribution to the regions.
"As Chair of the Indonesian House of Representatives, I closely monitor the vaccination activities that are currently underway throughout Indonesia," said Puan, in her statement, Sunday, June 13.
During the visit, Puan was accompanied by the chairman of the PDIP faction of the DPR, Utut Adianto. In addition, the Secretary of the DPR's PDIP faction, Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul, also joined the group. Of course, the smell of conflict in the event in Semarang that did not invite Ganjar was still felt. Moreover, Puan once satirized regional heads who were considered more active on social media. The reason Ganjar was not invited because he was considered too ambitious to be a presidential candidate in 2024.
Through his personal Instagram account @charleshonoris, Charles uploaded a selfie with Puan and Gibran at Bakmi Djowo Koeno Mbah Mangoen. In the photo, Puan wearing a gray shirt and Gibran wearing a motif shirt sat face to face at the same table as if they had eaten together.
So what did the two of them discuss?
Charles also leaked Puan and Gibran's conversation after eating noodles, one of the menus that Ganjar likes to eat.
"In the city of Solo, I enjoyed the close chat of two young leaders who are also the daughter and son of the president. Ms. @puanmaharaniri is the daughter of the 5th president of Indonesia and mas @gibran_rakabuming the son of the 7th president of Indonesia," wrote Charles quoted by VOI, Sunday, 13 June.
As a politician who is more senior than Gibran, Puan shares her political experiences with President Jokowi's eldest son. "In the midst of eating Javanese soup noodles, these two figures shared stories about the joys and sorrows of bearing the title of president's son. The world of politics," said Charles. Puan also encouraged Gibran, who has not served as Mayor of Solo for a year, to always be good with the community. "And occasionally give encouragement to mas @gibran_rakabuming so that he can work well for the people of Surakarta," Charles wrote again.
