Remain Loyal to the Constitution
Indonesian politics is entering an important and crucial period. The hearing at the Constitutional Court and the investigations into the May 21 and 22 riots have become tests.

The two cases must go in parallel by continuing to make the Constitution a reference. The Constitution is the nation\'s social contract. The Constitutional Court (MK) is mandated by the Constitution to resolve, among other things, disputes over election results. The Constitutional Court is the guardian of the Constitution and also the guardian of ideology and the guardian of democracy. The Constitution affirms the principle of Indonesia as a legal state, not a state of power: a state of constitutional democracy.
