After UGM Creates a Petition for Bulaksumur, It's UII's Turn to Criticize Jokowi Harshly: Indonesia is in a State of Emergency in Governance

The pressure was conveyed through the statement of position 'Indonesia Emergency of Statehood' which also contains several other demands for Jokowi and his administration.

The statement read by the Rector of UII, Fathul Wahid, highlights the national political developments that are considered an abuse of authority without shame, and the power for the practical political interests of a certain group by mobilizing state resources.

"Indonesian democracy is increasingly eroded and experiencing regression. This condition is further exacerbated by the fading statesmanship of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo. The main indicator is the nomination of Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a candidate for vice president based on the decision of the Constitutional Court No. 90\/PUU-XXI\/2023.""

The translation of "ujar Fathul." to English is "said Fathul."

"Next, the issue of the decision-making process that is laden with political intervention and has been proven to violate ethics, leading to the dismissal of the Chief Justice, Anwar Usman. The academic community of UII assesses that this phenomenon is becoming increasingly evident when Jokowi stated that the president may campaign and take sides, thereby expressing the non-neutrality of the institution."

"The latest developments in the distribution of social assistance through the distribution of rice and direct cash assistance (BLT) by President Joko Widodo are also suspected to be laden with practical political nuances aimed at personalizing the strengthening of support for certain presidential and vice-presidential candidates," the statement reads. Furthermore, they see indications of the mobilization of state apparatus for the purpose of supporting certain candidates, which certainly violates both the law and the constitution."

"The situation above serves as evidence that Indonesia is experiencing a state of emergency in governance that could lead to the collapse of the legal and democratic system," said Fathul. UII also conveyed several of its demands. First, urging Jokowi to once again be a role model in ethics and governance practices by not exploiting the presidential institution to fulfill family political interests by favoring one of the presidential-vice presidential candidate pairs."

"The president must be neutral, fair, and be a leader for all groups and factions, not just for a certain group."

"

Second, demanding President Joko Widodo along with all government apparatus to stop abusing power by not deploying and not utilizing state resources for practical political interests, including by not politicizing and personalizing social assistance,

said Fathul. Third, calling on the DPR to actively carry out its oversight function, ensuring that the government operates within the corridors of the constitution and law, and does not hijack democracy that ignores the interests and future of the nation.

"

"Four, urging presidential candidates, vice presidential candidates, ministers, and regional heads who are part of the success team, as well as the campaign team of one of the candidate pairs, to resign from their positions, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest that could harm the nation and the state," he said. Furthermore, inviting the Indonesian people to get involved in ensuring that the general elections are conducted honestly, fairly, and safely for the realization of a government that has strong legitimacy based on respect for the people's voices."

"Lastly, asking all elements of the nation to together nurture the ideals of independence by striving for the realization of a healthy democratic climate."
