Today Prabowo was appointed as President of the Republic of Indonesia, was the day that the Indonesian people were waiting for. After 10 years led by Jokowi, with a variety of positive and negative perceptions of the community for his leadership. Prabowo's inauguration day as president, of course, is a new hope for this nation. Hope that provides space for the growing dignity of a wider and prosperous nation.
At the same time it was appointed Vice President, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, as a young leader, who was still very doubtful by some components of Indonesian society. Gibran, emerged from a democratic process, which was considered breech, by some democratic activists, because it tends to crash into the constitution in the presidential election rules, which was backed up by the Constitutional Court when led by his uncle, Anwar Usman.
Large load
The question is whether Prabowo, after being appointed as president, is able to give new hope, which is aspired to the 1945 Constitution, which is as easy as the hope of the Indonesian people, to get a pro-people leader, not pro-oligarchy, as has been impressed in Jokowi, as president of two periods.
This paper does not really mention the role of the vice president, Gibran, because although elected to accompany Prabowo, but there is a huge doubt of the Indonesian people, for the quality of self and leadership of Gibran, especially with the negative 'track record' that has recently echoed against him related to the allegation 'FUFUFAFA' and so forth.
So the Indonesian people certainly put a big burden, Prabowo's shoulder, when he started serving as president. With the various problems faced by this nation, ranging from the stability of economic growth, the accumulated debt, democracy that resigned due to Jokowi's nepotism, the oligarchy that controls the sources of natural resources of the Republic of Indonesia, the potential for global conflict due to the war in the war in the Middle East and Eastern Europe Buy a declining middle class, increasing unemployment along with reduced employment opportunities, the rise of corruption in the body of government, chaotic in the education sector, all of this is a pile of problems, which must be decomposed by this new government.
Prabowo's factor is so influenced by the great hopes that are inspired by the Indonesian people, after the resignation of Jokowi and Prabowo was appointed as president. Prabowo is a military with the rank of general, who has been poor in the political universe in the atmosphere of joy and sorrow, acid salt, conflict of interest, Prabowo passed with patience.
Indeed Prabowo has been tested, at the end of his age entering the 70s, Prabowo brought an aura of enthusiasm to this Republic, with his jargon eradicating corruption, increasing economic growth and upholding heads in the international world and strengthening the defense equipment and professionalism of the Indonesian Armed Forces, the TNI.
Prabowo's leadership
Prabowo is not a god, but he has performed personification as a tough leader, who does not know surrender, in any situation. When Prabowo was charming by his own in-laws, Pak Harto, until he returned to the Republic to fight in the political sphere, these are leadership values, which are actively attached to positive, in a Prabowo.
Therefore, many observers, senior politicians, community leaders, who believe in Prabowo, to bring this nation are more honorable, by breaking down all kinds of national problems encountered.
With Prabowo's ability to carry out political consolidation ahead of the inauguration, which is to accommodate political and professional figures strengthen the cabinet, even though there are many questions, becoming a cabinet of 100 ministers, such as in the time of Pak Karno. But most likely what Prabowo is doing, with this fat cabinet, of course has passed the study, study and in -depth analysis, on the need to build Indonesia and unravel all the nation's internal and external problems.
Give opportunity
Thus, it is better for us as the people, giving the opportunity for Prabowo to uphold the continuity of the government, which he leads, while conducting a critical analysis, on all the policies of the ministers.
In 6 months to a year, we will see the extent of the effectiveness of the Prabowo Cabinet, able to plan pro-people policies, in all elements of society and the sector of life. Not only the policy in the segment of the rules, but also the implementation of policies in the form of strategies, programs and techniques, in all sectors of life, to the deepest regions of Indonesia, namely; Province, Regency, City, Villages and Villages.
We hope that Prabowo's political promises will be the guide of this new government, realized with all the challenges. So we believe that this nation has chosen the right leader, a trustworthy leader, who is able to cover all the weaknesses of the previous Jokowi regime.
New Hope
So we can conclude, that the new president Prabowo is a new hope, to bring a better dignity, for every population of 270 million people in this great nation.
Good dignity is marked by; Civilized democracy, an equitable economy, strengthened purchasing power, education and insight as part of the development of human resource quality, forming the character of the nation that is far from the culture of corruption, and building a strong and professional army to protect the Republic There, eternal, forever.
