JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Chairman Prabowo Subianto invited his cadres to maintain and maintain national unity and integrity.

"I emphasize that the Gerindra Party must always invite harmony of unity, respect all parties, should not be provoked, and must not spread suspicion or hatred," Prabowo said quoting Antara, Sunday, July 9.

This consolidation, said Prabowo, is a means to strengthen the unity and integrity of the community. Therefore, so far, his party has fully supported the democratic system that maintains the integrity and harmony of religious communities.

To maintain the unity of this nation, he continued, all parties must not be offended quickly, especially by prioritizing self-respect and personal interests.

"We have to make a democratic party full of friendship and family democracy because Pancasila democracy is distinctive, we must not make a fuss," he added.

Previously, it was known that the Gerindra Party held grand consolidation activities at four Jabodetabek points which were held simultaneously.

The four regions that held the grand consolidation were in Depok City, Bekasi City, and Tangerang Regency and City.

Prabowo during a visit to Tangerang took the time to mingle to meet thousands of cadres to greet and convey the spirit of unity.

"I think it's something that must be considered. So, we still have a program, have confidence to go directly to the midst of society, raise understanding and enthusiasm," said Prabowo, who is also a presidential candidate from the Gerindra Party.
