JAKARTA - The National Mandate Party (PAN) highlighted the open attack of PSI General Chair Giring Ganesha, who rejected the Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.

PAN's Young Spokesperson, Valeryan Bramasta, actually satirized Giring for issuing an unqualified statement as a presidential candidate in the upcoming election.

"He said he wanted to be a presidential candidate, but how come the comments are not very good?," said Valeryan, Wednesday, September 22. According to him, Giring's rejection of Anies shows that the PSI Acting Chairman is immature in politics. "If you want to run for a presidential candidate, how come the language is very provocative, it's weird and funny. So it's going to be a presidential candidate but rejects other figures who want to run as a presidential candidate," continued Valeryan. In fact, he said, Giring as a political party leader and also a young politician could provide education to cadres and sympathizers with a good narrative, not just looking for sensations. He also regretted that the position of ketum was taken over by the former singer of the Nidji band.

“As the Acting Chairperson of a political party, Giring should have sufficient capacity. It's a shame with the position," said Valeryan.

Valeryan suggested that Giring could put forward ideas that were far from sensational.

"Start talking about the people, the nation, the challenges of globalization through a battle of ideas and ideas so that people have hope for their future," he said. If Giring is not yet an adult in politics, he added, it would be better if Giring handed over the PSI leadership baton to someone who is more capable. more prepared," concluded Valeryan. Previously, PSI Acting General Chair Giring Ganesha openly attacked the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan. Giring even called Anies a liar.

Giring's statement was uploaded by DPP PSI on the Twitter account @psi_id. The 5.03 minute video succeeded in making Giring's name trending on Twitter for calling Anies Baswedan unfit to be a 2024 presidential candidate.

In his statement, Giring clearly assessed that Anies Baswedan was not an example of a leader who could overcome a crisis.

"In a crisis a true leader must do his best to save the greater interest," Giring said.

"Governor Anies Baswedan is not an example of a person who can overcome a crisis," he said. The main indicator of Anies Baswedan's failure, according to Giring, was the way the DKI Jakarta Governor spent people's money during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Giring even accused Anies of using the Jakarta APBD for his personal interests in preparation for his 2024 presidential election.
