JAKARTA, KOMPASINDOTV.COM – Lawyer and Pasopati & Associates law firm chairman Erles Rareral S.H.M.H. has issued a statement to media crews regarding Kaesang appointment as chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI). According to him, Kaesang appointment as chairman of the party has made the direction of support from President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to General Prabowo Subianto increasingly clear.
Erles Rareral said, “The appointment of Kaesang as PSI president has made clear the trend of Jokowi’s support for Prabowo. Jokowi certainly needs a great man to support him.” He is not someone who is considered a failure.
President Jokowi eldest son, Kaesang, was recently announced to replace Grace Natalie as PSI president. This has sparked speculation and debate about the direction of President Jokowi political support.
However, Erles Rareral that this is only her personal opinion and that she does not represent any political party. He explains, “This is my opinion as an individual and not the official position of Pasopati & Associates.”
The Jokowi and Prabowo administrations have previously engaged in fierce political battles. But in the 2019 presidential elections, the two decided to work together in government, and Prabowo was appointed defense minister.
His comments drew public criticism and sparked a debate about Indonesia’s political dynamics. It is undeniable that Kaesang appointment as PSI president provides an interesting political signal that should be analyzed further.
It should be noted that political opinions and speculation are common in politics. However, more complete information and confirmation from those involved is needed to ascertain the truth and the actual direction of political support.
