“In 2016-2017, there was an extraordinary polarization in our republic and it was centered in Jakarta. It was related to the DKI Pilkada. Thank God Pak Anies has proven that it is precisely at the center where the polarization occurred, Pak Anies has succeeded in eliminating or significantly reducing hostility and the polarization that is happening in DKI,” he said.
