BEM UI Challenge
It is known, after the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK), BEM UI challenged the presidential candidates (candidates) to come to their campus. The yellow jacket students want to debate the presidential candidates.
“If you really have the guts, BEM UI invites all presidential candidates/potential presidential candidates to attend UI because we are ready to skin all of your thoughts,” said BEM UI chairman Melki Sedek Huang in a written statement entitled ‘Please Come to UI If You Dare! ‘, received detikcom on Monday (21/8/2023).
This challenge was launched by BEM UI in response to the Constitutional Court’s decision which was announced on August 15, 2023. The Constitutional Court granted the lawsuit against Law Number 7 of 2017, specifically Article 280 paragraph (1) letter h. As a consequence, campaigning in places of worship is totally prohibited. However, election participants can still attend educational places and government facilities as long as they are without campaign attributes and at the invitation of the responsible party. According to BEM UI, this must be utilized optimally.
“The ability of educational institutions to invite prospective leaders must be used to test the substance and contents of the brains of each prospective leader, instead of becoming a field for the faces of campus leaders and a field for the eyes of intellectuals and politicians,” said Melki Sedek Huang.
He feels that political campaigns and politicians’ utterances are getting boring. Children are not interested in lip service, identity politics, and political imagery. Young people from UI students want to argue with the presidential candidates.
“We are ready to convey our aspirations and debate all of your arguments if necessary. We don’t want the future of this nation to depend on prospective leaders who only focus on campaigns, imagery, and low-quality lip service. We need leaders who are smart and side with the people, said Melki.
