The presidential candidate of the NasDem party, Anies Baswedanhe had mentioned that the government sometimes “turns off” criticism. Golkar party responded to Anies’ statement.
DPP Golkar party chairman Ace Hasan Syadzily said that currently Indonesia supported the spirit of democracy. Ace asked Anies not to talk nonsense.
“Don’t just speak up. We are open, democratic and uphold the spirit of free speech,” Ace told reporters on Saturday (12/17/2022).
Ace said that if the government rejects the criticism, Anies’ current steps could be hampered. Because, he said, Anies had already toured Indonesia even though he hadn’t yet entered the electoral campaign period.
“If the government brushes off the criticism, there is no way Pak Anies can travel to Indonesia even if it’s not campaign time yet,” he said.
Ace asked Anies to demonstrate that the government sometimes “turns off” criticism. “Let me see, which one is judged to kill criticism,” he said to her.
