Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the NasDem Party Ahmad Ali is holding a talk related to the words of the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto who alluded to the debt of presidential candidate Anies Baswedan during the 2017 DKI Pilkada.

Hasto in his statement also commented on Anies' political safari, which has been traveling around Indonesia. For Hasto, PDIP is better off moving collectively with all cadres for the 2024 election victory. Because if it moves on its own, it can cause a pile of debt. Ali also assessed that Hasto's remarks were very tendentious and demeaned to Anies. According to him, it should not be that the elite of major political parties who always talk about Pancasilaists commented so much. "This statement to me really degrades the dignity of Anies Baswedan by Hasto. Pak Anies himself has never owed PDIP or to Pak Hasto. So this accusation really degrades Pak Anies' dignity in my opinion," Ahmad Ali told reporters, Friday, February 24.

Ali then confirmed that there would be no signing of receivables on Anies' trip to the 2024 presidential election, as happened in the 2017 DKI Pilkada. "I make sure there is no signing of debt securities. So I make sure there are no debts on this trip," said Ali.

Ali also believes that there are still many people who want to work together to help Anies' campaign costs. So according to him, the former governor of DKI Jakarta does not need to sign an agreement to fund him for the 2024 presidential election.

"If only to finance Anies to become a presidential candidate, I think there are still too many people who can afford to be eliminated. God willing, Anies will not sign," said Ahmad Ali., Anies Baswedan, who has started traveling around socializing. Hasto said, PDIP always calculates the right momentum with mature calculations. He also brought up Jokowi's victory which he called because the people joined the PDIP.

"The PDIP of this candidate is not standing alone, moving anywhere, for the PDIP who joined the movement, it was all the sympathizers of cadre members who were united with the people, that was what moved. That was proven when Pak Jokowi was nominated in 2014, 2019, so it was proven that PDIP was able to win 18 provinces in 2019," said Hasto at the PDI-P DPP School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Thursday, February 23.

Hasto reiterated that PDIP cannot work alone but collectively. He said that if the movement was carried out individually it would cause a lot of debt.

"So the movement is collective, not people per person. If each person moves later, he will have a lot of debt," he said.
