Ganjar Denied As Jokowi's Antithesa, PDIP: All Cadres Are Inheritance

Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto emphasized the decision of the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo to reject the participation of the Israeli national team in the U-20 World Cup instead of the antitesa of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). He actually said this attitude was in line with the party's attitude. "In fact, between President Jokowi then Mrs. Megawati, Mr. Koster (Governor of Bali Wayan Koster), and Mr. Ganjar, we are all cadres in line," said Hasto to reporters in the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium area (SUGBK), Central Jakarta, Thursday, March 30. Hasto said that Indonesia did not expect the Israeli national team to enter the next round in the U-20 World Cup. In fact, on the one hand they have won as host countries through the auction system. "If (at that time, red) Israel enters, there must be an alert system that works because there is a fundamental diplomatic policy that in any field we do not open space with Israel," he stressed. For example, Indonesia Israel passes, said Hasto, then policies could be negotiated from the beginning such as there is no Israeli flag until the national anthem. "That's why Pak Ganjar is not the antithesa of Pak Jokowi," he said. "But since Pak Jokowi took the position as head of state, the head of government (to carry out the U-20 World Cup, ed) we fully support it. It is proven that PDIP up to moving the 50th PDIP Anniversary is proof of support for this U-20 World Cup so that there are no related problems. This shows as much as the scope is different," continued Hasto.

As previously reported, FIFA officially revoked Indonesia's status as the host of the U-20 World Cup due to the current situation in the country. This is allegedly due to the swift rejection of the Israeli team's participation in the U-20 World Cup. The rejection also came from the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo and Bali Governor I Wayan Koster. In fact, Ganjar's Instagram account was invaded by disappointed Indonesian U-20 national team players.
