Romo Magnis Imagines the President as an Employee Stealing Store Money to Win Candidates

Dream - Philosophy Professor STF Driyarkara Franz Magnis Suseno or Father Magnis mentions the president's action of distributing Social Assistance (Bansos) to win the Presidential Candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election as an ethical violation.

Romo Magnis even gave a quite harsh analogy for the president's action. He likened the distribution of social assistance to a candidate similar to an employee who secretly steals money from the store's cash register.

"If the president, based on his power, simply takes social assistance to be distributed in the context of a campaign for the candidate he wants to win, then it is similar to an employee secretly taking cash from the store's cash register. So it is theft, an ethical violation."

Romo Magnis said in the hearing of the dispute over the 2024 Presidential Election at the Constitutional Court (MK), Jakarta, Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

Romo Magnis said that Bansos is not owned by the president, but belongs to the entire Indonesian nation. He stated that Bansos is the responsibility of the relevant Ministry and its distribution must comply with the regulations.

"That is also a sign that he has also lost his basic ethical insight about the position as president, namely that the power he possesses is not to serve himself but to serve the entire community."
"ujar Romo Magnis." translates to "said Father Magnis."

On that occasion, he stated that the president is allowed to inform about the candidate he supports in the general election. However, the problem arises when the state leader uses his position and power to direct civil servants, police, and military personnel to support the said candidate.

"Presiden may indeed inform that he hopes for one of the candidates to win,"
he said.

"However, once he uses his position, power, to provide guidance to civil servants, police, military, and others to support one candidate, and uses state funds to finance trips in order to support that candidate, he heavily violates the ethical demands that he is impartially the president of all citizens, including all politicians."

As information, the Constitutional Court resumed the hearing of the Presidential Election dispute on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. The agenda of this continued hearing of the Presidential Election dispute is to listen to testimonies from witnesses and experts from Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Tim Ganjar-Mahfud is challenging the results of the 2024 Presidential Election to the Constitutional Court (MK) because they are not satisfied with the election results, suspecting structured, systematic, and massive (SSM) fraud. In their petitum, the Ganjar-Mahfud team requests a repeat of the voting process by disqualifying the candidate pair number 02, Prabowo-Gibran."
