Jakarta – Candidate for President number 2, Prabowo Subianto, emphasized his commitment to stand with the people, especially those facing economic difficulties. At the ‘Media Dialogue and Presidential Candidates’ event at the Press Council building in Jakarta on Thursday (4/1/2024), Prabowo emphasized the importance of taking concrete action, especially for children whose economic situation is weak.
Prabowo asserted that the flagship program of the Prabowo-Gibran pair, such as providing free lunch and milk, must be realized immediately to provide direct benefits to the people.
“This is a matter of necessity, this is a matter of the nation’s future,” he added.
In implementing the program, Prabowo ensured that Indonesia has the capacity to carry it out. Referring to the trillions of rupiah budget for social assistance and education, Prabowo highlighted the importance of providing food in schools as part of the social assistance program.
Responding to the large budget used for the development of the State Capital City (IKN), Prabowo is confident that Indonesia is capable of managing it. He emphasized that the development of IKN is part of the country’s infrastructure that requires large investments.
“We can manage it. Let’s not be swayed by the brainwashing that Indonesia is a poor country,” he boldly stated.
In a discussion held by the Indonesian Journalists Association (PWI) at the Press Council building, Prabowo emphasized that the large budget used for the IKN project should be seen as part of long-term investment. He hopes that the public will not be influenced by negative narratives about Indonesia’s ability to build the project.
Prabowo emphasized the importance of not being influenced by negative opinions about Indonesia’s ability to manage the development of IKN. For him, the belief that Indonesia can achieve success and manage large projects like IKN is very important. (SENOPATI)
