Breaking the Chain of Political Vulgarization
At 75 years old, our nation seems to be becoming increasingly trapped in a paralytic political cycle.
Vice President Ma\'ruf Amin met representatives of leaders of Islamic Organizations at the official residence of the Vice President, Tuesday (16/6/2020) night. In this meeting, the Vice President conveyed the government\'s attitude to ask the DPR to postpone the deliberation of the Pancasila Ideology Guidelines Bill (HIP Bill)
At 75 years old, our nation seems to be becoming increasingly trapped in a paralytic political cycle. The annual rituals of the dangers of communism, the acute dream of the caliphate, the flip-flopping temptations over issues on the state system, and the overdue dispute about the Pancasila state ideology are only some examples that contribute to the paralytic process. All these have their source in the various complexes of macropolitics.
As the condition worsened over the last eight months with the invasion of the coronavirus, our nation became further depressed. The level of coherence and constitutional understanding across the different practices of national and democratic life – an absolute requirement for a nation’s advancement – is diminishing. The high reputation of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has also been fading following a series of “blunders”, especially the emasculation of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
