JAKARTA - The commemoration of Heroes' Day on November 10 must be interpreted by recalling the choice of words spoken by freedom fighters, namely Freedom or Death. This was said by the Chairman of the DPD RI AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti, Thursday 10 November in Surabaya. The word Merdeka or Die, continued LaNyalla, may feel absurd for the younger generation today. Even though the sentence is a form of willingness of the fighters for independence. For their love for the homeland. And for the sake of one noble hope; in order to grow a better generation. But what grows today? What thrives is the Oligarchy of the Economy uniting with the Political Oligarchy, which takes power hostage in order to side with their interests," said LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti in his written statement. Therefore, he continued to resonantly the importance of the collective awareness of the nation to all elements of this nation. That the sovereignty of the people we must take back. Because the people are the legitimate owners of the state filled with the blood of these fighters. And the sovereignty of the rights and the welfare of the people, can only be achieved through the democratic system and the Pancasila economic system. What we have left for the sake of liberal democracy that is not in accordance with DNA and the basic character of this nation, "he said.

Therefore, the former chairman of PSSI, invited all the younger generation, to reread the thoughts of the nation's founders. And re-investigate the spiritual atmosphere of the nation's patriots. Long before Indonesia's independence, Ki Hajar Dewantoro had warned that if we do not teach our students with nationality and nationalism, then in the future, it is very possible that they will become our opponents,he said. Because the destruction of a nation's collective memory can be carried out using non-military war methods. But by dividing the unity, master and control the minds of the nation's citizens, so as not to have awareness, vigilance and identity. And now we are a polarized nation. divided nation. And do not have character and identity. Because this nation is filled with buzzers who use narratives of hatred and insults to fellow nation's children, he concluded about the commemoration of Heroes' Day.
