PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said his party did not care about the meeting of Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka with Gerindra Party Chair Prabowo Subianto in Angkringan Omah Semar Jajar Laweyan Solo, Central Java.
"Yes, politics is moving downwards because it is the people who hold the highest political sovereignty," said Hasto at the Lemhannas building, Central Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, May 20.
Hasto revealed that currently his party is focusing on finding a vice presidential candidate who will accompany Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu). Hasto also acknowledged this by absorbing the aspirations of the people.
"That's what the PDI-P is doing, in that movement, we also observe in the perception of the people who are the most appropriate vice presidential candidates to accompany Pak Ganjar Pranowo," he said.
Pada Jumat (19/5) malam, Prabowo melakukan pertemuan dengan Gibran selama sekitar 1 jam secara tertutup, kemudian bertemu terbuka dengan 15 kelompok perwakilan revolusi dari Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur yang mendukung maju capres pada tahun 2024.
The brief meeting resulted in a summons by the PDI-P Central Executive Board. Gibran was asked to come to Jakarta to appear before PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto on Monday (2/2) at 10.00 WIB.
"I've never avoided you, yes. I was just a child there, a new cadre. I was reprimanded, yes, please," said Gibran in Solo, Saturday (20/5).
Gibran admitted that he was ready if he was given sanctions by the party due to the meeting. However, he ensured that the meeting was held with his capacity as Mayor of Surakarta and Prabowo as Minister of Defense.

In addition, he said, the agenda for Friday night was just an ordinary dinner.
"Yesterday it was just dinner. It didn't come when he gave an oration, 'I stepped aside, didn't join," he said.
From the start, he never mentioned his support for one of the particular presidential candidates. Regarding the existence of volunteers, according to him, Jokowi volunteers and Gibran volunteers narrowed down on two names, namely Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto.
"Residentials cannot be forced, they have to come here, there, they can't. Volunteers are critical, objective. Apart from Pak Prabowo, if I was told to gather more supporters of Pak Ganjar," he said.
