Secretary General of the NasDem Party Johnny Plate spoke about a number of obstacles that his party's presidential candidate Anies Baswedan has encountered in undergoing political safaris in a number of areas recently.
"Of course this is democracy, right. For the sake of democracy, of course, local governments also need to help smooth the program to improve the quality of Indonesian democracy," Plate told reporters at the Jakarta Presidential Palace Complex, Antara, Thursday, December 1.
Previously, a number of obstacles were faced by Anies Baswedan when carrying out political safaris to a number of regions.
In Aceh, the permit for the venue for the event was revoked by the Department of Culture and Tourism. Meanwhile, in Riau, the venue for the event had to be moved because at the same time it would be used by the local government.

As Secretary General of NasDem, Plate hopes that the local government can open the door to communication between the community and national leaders and candidates, as long as it is in line with existing regulations. He hopes that what has happened recently will be an example so that it can run better in the future.
