JAKARTA - Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto emphasized that the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo and former Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan were not opponents for him but brothers.
The three figures are known to have the status of presidential candidates (candidates) for the 2024 General Election.
"If later insyallah saya terus capres, ini bukan kampanye ya, kalau nanti Pak Ganjar terus maju, Pak Anies maju juga, saya tidak menganggap mereka lawan. Sayagap mereka saudara saya sendiri," kata Prabowo dalam tertulis, Rabu 31 Mei, disitat Antara.
The Minister of Defense conveyed this when he was a keynote speaker at the MNC Forum LXX, in Jakarta, Tuesday, May 30 evening. In this activity, Prabowo emphasized that harmony is the key to building Indonesia, including in carrying out democratic parties.
Therefore, the Minister of Defense believes that Indonesian democracy must have its own characteristics and not raw to imitate democratic practices in other countries.
"I think that Indonesian democracy must have its own characteristics. Indonesian democracy should not imitate other countries," said Prabowo.
Prabowo also reminded how well it would be in democratization to avoid insults and mock each other, as well as direct actions to foster harmony and unity.
In democratic contestation, for example, Prabowo continued, instead of mocking each other, it is certainly better to build competition that focuses on ideas and is not anti-critic.
"All parties must be friendly in developing the country. Let us compete well in terms of ideas and programs. We must not hesitate to embrace each other, be friends with each other," he said.
