PDIP Criticizes The Land Of The Akuarium Village That Anies Brought To IKN Nusantara

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan brought land taken from the Akuarium Village area, North Jakarta to be used as a symbol of the unity of all governors in the National Capital City (IKN) of Nusantara.

The chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Regional House of Representatives, Gembong Warsono, considers the land that Anies took in the Akuarium Village is not right. This is because, said Gembong, Anies' settlement program for the Akuarium Village settlement only seems to be in favor of the small people.

However, there is a problem behind it. Gembong said the construction of flats in the Akuarium Village is Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2014 concerning Detailed Spatial Planning (RDTR) and Zoning.

According to the regulation, the Akuarium Village area is located in the red zone or government zone. After all, there were found historic buildings. Therefore, Gembong assessed that the government zone should not be built for settlements given the findings of historical buildings there.

"In the past, it was a residential area, evictions were carried out and returned to its original function, namely for heritage. Now, it has been transformed back into a dwelling in the hope that Anies will take sides with the people as if he is taking sides, but violates the rules", said Gembong when contacted, Monday, March 14.

Therefore, Gembong hopes that the polemics that occurred in the Akuarium Village during Anies' leadership in Jakarta will not occur during the IKN development later.

"Don't let IKN get carried away with psychology like that, as if you are taking sides but breaking the rules, you can't. IKN should not bring psychological factors like that", said Gembong.

For information, Anies went to IKN with land taken from Akuarium Village. Anies reasoned that he took the land from Akuarium Village area because it presented the hope that the construction of this new city which would become the capital city would not marginalize the poor.

He hopes that the development of IKN will provide progress and happiness for all, especially the common people.

The land delivered to the land where a new city will be built and become the country's capital, he said, is expected to become a city that reflects the basics of the Republic of Indonesia.

"The return of community life in Akuarium Village is a symbol of the return of the basics of the founding of the Republic of Indonesia, namely protecting every blood spill and to bring social justice to all Indonesian people", Anies said in the @aniesbaswedan Instagram account.
