jpnn.com – PDI Perjuangan General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri said that her political party welcomed the 2024 simultaneous regional elections and felt trapped because it could not nominate candidates.
However, he was recently surprised by the emergence of the Constitutional Court (MK) decision number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 which allowed the political party with the white-nosed bull symbol to nominate its own candidate in the 2024 regional elections.
He spoke thus during the announcement of the regional head candidates nominated for the 2024 simultaneous regional elections for wave III at the PDI Perjuangan office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Monday (26/7).
“I myself was also surprised, I thought, we are the only ones left, locked up, right, locked up like that, gosh, I said, it’s nice to be locked up like that. Indonesia is funny,” Megawati said in her speech, Monday.
The fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia then remembered the message delivered by his father who is also the Proclaimer of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno or Bung Karno about the difficult thing to challenge is to fight against one’s own nation.
Including, said Megawati, when fighting against the wishes of the rulers to extend their power by any means.
“He used to say, if it’s easier for me to expel the colonists, read his book Bung Karno, if we’re going to ‘fight our own people’ I’ll understand, oh this is it,
The Chairman of the BRIN Steering Committee told about how he, his son, who is also the Chairman of the PDIP DPP, Prananda Pranowo, and the Secretary General of the PDIP DPP, Hasto Kristiyanto, have recently been busy signing letters of support for the regional head candidates.
PDI Perjuangan General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri was shocked by the Constitutional Court’s decision number 60/PUU-XXII/2024, even though initially she felt like PDIP was being locked up.
