Ganjar: The President's State Speech Is Clear, Don't Let Cultural Pollution Happen

Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo said the message conveyed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in a State Speech at the annual session of the MPR RI was very clear. Ganjar agreed, cultural pollution and situations that made people rude must be prevented for the sake of Indonesia's position in the eyes of the world.

Ganjar listened to the State Speech of the President of the Republic of Indonesia in a plenary meeting with the Central Java Provincial DPRD. Present at the plenary meeting, Deputy Governor Taj Yasin Maimoen, as well as representatives from Forkompimda and students.

"I think the message is very clear. Do not let cultural pollution occur which then does not match our values. For example, rude and disrespectful," said Ganjar at the Central Java Provincial DPRD Office Wednesday, August 16.

Ganjar underlined Jokowi's statement about the great task that the Indonesian nation must complete in the future. Especially in order to go to Indonesia Gold 2045.

The move to achieve the dream has begun now. In the era of President Jokowi's leadership, Indonesia won world trust so that Indonesia's position has strength and is taken into account.

"There is a big homework that we have to solve on world conditions, the special wabil of Indonesia's position towards the world," he said.

The demographic bonus in Indonesia, which will reach its peak around 2030, must be utilized properly. This opportunity must be read as an advantage of Indonesia, supported by the international trust that already exists today.

"There is a demographic bonus that we have to take advantage of and we must be progressive for it. I think what the president said is clear is correct," he said.

He also supports President Jokowi's statement about the atmosphere in the political year. It is known that Indonesia will hold elections in 2024. The election for Jokowi's successor has begun to warm up recently.

Therefore, Ganjar invites all elements of society to jointly reduce everything that has the potential to break world unity and trust.

"In the regions, we just have to support what is there, at the same time in the political year, let's subside so that then there is no situation that makes the sensitivity of many people," he said.

As is known, in the State Speech of the President of the Republic of Indonesia at the annual MPR session at the MPR/DPR RI building, President Jokowi conveyed several important things.

Among them are about pollution in cultural areas that are considered to injure the nation's dignity. According to Jokowi, the culture of politeness and noble character of this nation seems to be starting to disappear. Freedom and democracy are used to vent slander and slander.

"Pollusion in this cultural region, once again pollution in this cultural region deeply hurts the dignity of the Indonesian people. Indeed, not all of them are like that. I see that the majority of society is also very disappointed with this cultural pollution. Cecess and insults that exist actually raise our conscience, the conscience of the nation to unite to maintain the morality of the public space," Jokowi said in his State Speech.

Jokowi also mentioned the international trust that Indonesia currently has. According to him, it is not just a game or rhetoric, but through a role and clear evidence of Indonesia's courage in attitude.

The momentum of Indonesia's Presidency at the G20 is for example. Then, Indonesia's position in ASEAN, Indonesia's consistency in upholding human rights, humanity and equality, and Indonesia's success in facing the world crisis has boosted and put Indonesia back in the world's governing map.

And in the midst of turbulent world conditions due to differences, Indonesia and its Pancasila, with their religious harmony, with the principle of democracy being able to present dialogue space, being able to become a common ground and bridge existing differences.

"With high international trust, our credibility will be more recognized, our sovereignty will be more respected. Indonesia's voice will be heard more, making it easier for us to negotiate," he said.

"We must be able to take advantage of the opportunity. Our big loss if we miss this opportunity, because not all countries have it and we will not necessarily have it again," said Jokowi.
