Effendi Simbolon thinks Gibran is instant in politics: between funny and not

Jakarta –

Politician PDIP Effendi Simbolon call the Mayor of Surakarta (Solo) Gibran Rakabuming Raka as an instant figure in politics. Although instant, his figure is idolized by people who are ‘mostly micin’.

This assessment was presented by Effendi Simbolon in a polemic discussion entitled ‘Twilight of Political Regeneration’ which was broadcast on radio Trijaya FM, Saturday (27/3/2021).

Initially, Effendi answered the discussion host’s question about comparisons Mrs. Maharani and Gibran Rakabuming Raka. The first name is the daughter of the Chairperson of the PDIP Megawati Soekarnoputri, now the chairman of the DPR, has also been a member of the DPR and a minister. The second name is the son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), who is now the Mayor of Solo.

Effendi openly supports Puan. He stated that Puan was not an instant politician because he had been on the political path for decades.

“It would be different if it was Gibran. Gibran, yeah, is real, obviously instant, fast growing I see, “said Effendi.

However, the figure of instant politician is common in Indonesia. He observed that Indonesians also idolize instant figures.

“So yeah, it’s between funny and not funny. In Indonesia this often happens and eventually gets idolized. So it is natural that we think we are messed up, like we eat a lot of R ** (name brand), lots of migraines. The brain becomes migraine. we can’t think normally, “said Effendi.

Furthermore, the analogy of instant politician with elementary school children:
