YOGYAKARTA - There was a scene on social media because of the tragedy of the international Greenpeace organization which was prohibited by a mass organization called the Nusantara Horseshoe to carry out campaigns or actions because it coincided with the Summit or the G20 Bali Summit. So what is the reason for the Nusantara Horseshoe organization to intercept Greenpeace?

The video of the ban by the Tabal Kuda Nusantara community organization (ormas) has gone viral on social media. A number of people in green shirts were seen visiting Greenpeace's members.

From the video, it appears that they have banned Greenpeace from carrying out any action during the implementation of the G20 Indonesia Presidency. They even ordered Greenpeace members to write a statement that they would not carry out any action or campaigns.

One point, your agreement with yourself, not with us. That you will not do what you have done in Batang... Will not run a campaign in any form during the G20 Summit process, "quoted from the video on Tuesday (8/11/2022).

The mass organization even published its prohibition measures on the taalkudanusantara.com page. There is an article entitled TKN Ormas Faisting the Green Peace International NGO Plan, which was published on Monday (7/11/2022).

According to the article, the location of the meeting of the Kuda Nusantara mass organization and Greenpeace members was in Probolinggo, East Java. The mass organization measures that Greenpeace will travel to the Paiton PLTU in Probolinggo and continue its journey to Bali.

"We TKN organizations take precautions so that they return to Jakarta, for the sake of creating conduciveness to enter the G20 Summit in Bali," said the general chairman of Tapal Kuda Nusantara Prasetyo Eko Karso, quoted from the tapalkudanusantara.com website.

According to Greenpeace's legal statement, its members who are in Probolinggo are the Chasing the Shadow Greenpeace cyclists.

The team is traveling cycling from Jakarta to Bali. When he stopped at Probolinggo, the mass organization came to Greenpeace's team and said he refused Chasing the Shadow's activities and campaigns. Based on Greenpeace, the mass organization forced its members to make a statement letter jointly not to continue their journey or campaign even during the G20 Summit in Bali.

Greenpace said that the cyclists had been intimidated since they were in Semarang, either by unknown people or in police uniforms. A number of officers in the Bhayangkara and military Corps uniforms were also seen in areas where Greenpeace's squad visited, such as in Timbulsloko Village, Demak, and in Tegaldowo Village, Rembang.

About seven people who claimed to be police had visited Greenpeace's team which was on air at a radio station. They asked about the action agenda at Simpang Lima, Semarang, even though Greenpeace did not plan to hold an action in the area," Greenpeace said in a statement.

They measure that it undermines democratic principles and injures freedom of thought guaranteed in the constitution. Greenpeace even mentions that such repressive patterns are widely seen in land confiscation cases, such as in Kendeng and Kulonprogo.

"The message we bring in bicycle tour activities is to inform the public that the climate crisis has occurred in a number of regions in Indonesia, and threaten a number of aspects of our lives, including food and cultural history," Greenpeace said in an official statement.
