Jakarta –
Vice presidential candidate number 1 Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin criticizing the purchase of war equipment or defense equipment with debt. Chairman of Commission I DPR RI Meutya Hafid In fact, Cak Imin thinks he understands the defense budget.
“I’m sure Cak Imin understands. Cak Imin has served as chairman of the party for almost 10 years. He has also been a member of the DPR since 1999, has been a DPR leader, and has also been a minister,” said Meutya Hafid to journalists, Wednesday (3/1/2024).
“So I’m sure he understands, especially since Cak Imin is also a member of Commission I which oversees foreign affairs, geopolitics and defense, including giving approval to the defense budget posture,” he added.
Meutya believes that Cak Imin’s criticism was aimed at Prabowo Subianto, who is currently Minister of Defense and presidential candidate number 2.
“I don’t think his statement was because he didn’t understand, but because he had other intentions towards the Minister of Defense who is currently a presidential candidate. Cak Imin knows exactly how we need defense equipment,” said the deputy chairman of TKN Prabowo-Gibran.
Therefore, Cak Imin’s criticism is seen as a form of Cak Imin’s inconsistent attitude in understanding defense issues. Meutya believes this is due to Cak Imin’s political choices in the 2024 presidential election.
“Perhaps this is a form of Cak Imin’s inconsistency since the presidential election, after the inconsistency with IKN. Maybe this is the political path that Cak Imin must take after promoting change in the 2024 presidential election. The public can judge for themselves,” he added.
Cak Imin Criticizes Debt Buying War Tools
Cak Imin previously held a dialogue with farmer groups in Soreang, Bandung Regency. Cak Imin said he was surprised by the condition of a country that prefers to go into debt to buy war equipment rather than agricultural equipment.
“We’re not at war, why are we mostly in debt to buy war equipment? It’s better to have debt to buy agricultural equipment. Why do we owe hundreds of trillions of debt but not for something that we don’t really need? In fact, we need food,” said Cak Imin at the Nitip Gus event with the group farmers in Bandung Regency, Wednesday (3/1).
