The Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) has decided that nine constitus judges have been proven to have violated the code of ethics regarding the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 which allows regional heads not yet 40 years old to run as presidential and vice presidential candidates. In the legal and ethical considerations read out by MKMK member Bintan R Saragih, Anwar Usman Cs has a working culture of Ewuh Pakewuh. As a result, in the consideration of deciding there are variables that cause a conflict of interest. "So it is not careful with the construction of convincing arguments. This will not happen if every constitutional judge has sensibility and has a culture to remind each other that one of the judges has the potential for conflict of interest," "The judge is included in the leadership with an ewuh pakewuh working culture so that the principle of equality between judges is neglected. The reported judge is jointly proven to have violated the Sapta Karsa Hutama (Code of ethics and Behavior of Constitutional Justices)," explained Bintan. Ewuh Pakewuh comes from the sesekerta language. Ewuh which means troublesome and Pakewuh has a bad meaning of feeling. In Javanese Culture, it is often said to be an obstacle or obstacle to the process of dissent and community empowerment.

In short, the culture of ewuh pakewuh means harmony or can be said to be respectful.
