Depok became the city that received the second lowest tolerance score in the 2022 Tolerant City Index (IKT) report by the SETARA Institute. However, PKS doubted the findings.

The city of Cilegon is ranked 94th or at the bottom in the 2022 IKT report. Meanwhile, above Cilegon, there is Depok, which is ranked 93rd.
Chairman of the Management Board of SETARA Institute Ismail Hasani explained their findings regarding Cilegon. He said Cilegon got low scores on 3 of the 4 established assessment variables.
“The first is the government’s action. He made an agreement with people who have intolerant political aspirations, to prohibit people from building places of worship. So from a variable standpoint, the government’s action is zero,” he told reporters at Grand Sahid Jaya, Central Jakarta, Thursday (6/4/ 2023).
Cilegon, he said, from a policy standpoint still affirms or guides the circular letter in 1975 regarding the ban on building churches in Cilegon City. In fact, he continued, the circular contained instructions for the City of Serang.
“With him still guided by this, he still believes in this discriminatory legal product as a legal basis, two variables,” he added.
Ismail said the third variable is society. He highlighted the representation of an intolerant society that emerged into the public space.
“With the three variables that are still problematic today, the researchers concluded and gave a lower score than even last year,” said Ismail.
Meanwhile, he continued, the final score for the city of Depok did not experience a significant increase. It’s just that, the city of Cilegon has decreased in score and position.
