JAKARTA - The People's Voters Education Network (JPPR) criticized the actions of the All-Indonesian Village Government Association (Apdesi) which attended the United Village declaration to support one of the presidential and vice-presidential pairs at the Indonesia Arena, GBK, Sunday, November 19.
Support should be prohibited based on Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages and Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Election Implementation.
JPPR National Coordinator, Nurlia Dian Paramita said the form of the declaration was one of the evil intentions to betray Indonesia as a state of law, because it had arranged the village head and his apparatus to remain neutral in the election.
"This is a form of insulting village officials to legal countries in Indonesia which clearly prohibits village heads and their apparatus from being involved or supporting certain candidates in the implementation of elections," Mita said in a written statement received by VOI Tuesday, November 21.
Mita conveyed that the potential for insults to this legal state was indirectly practiced for violating the rules contained in the Indonesian constitution, the 1945 Constitution. In fact, the elections that have been stipulated in the 1945 Constitution are mandated to be carried out in a direct (direct, general, free and confidential) and jurdil (honest and fair) manner.
"If the village head and village officials are not neutral and deliberately there are those who move them, it is certain that the election will run unfairly," said Mita.

He also stated that the JPPR strongly condemns the actions of village heads and officials who openly support the candidate pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, only for the sake of practical politics. This was conveyed considering that there were rules that were betrayed in the concept of a state of law.
"The JPPR strongly condemns the Village Head who openly wants to betray the law for the sake of pragmatic political interests," he said.
"This includes condemning those who deliberately exercise their power and authority to mobilize and mobilize village officials not to be neutral in elections," concluded Mita.
