Jakarta – Candidate President number 2, Prabowo Subianto, emphasized his commitment to side with the people, especially those facing economic difficulties. At the ‘Press Dialogue and Presidential Candidates’ event at the Dewan Pers Building, Jakarta on Thursday (4/1/2024), Prabowo emphasized the importance of taking real action, especially for children with weak economies.
Prabowo stressed that the flagship program of the Prabowo-Gibran pair, such as providing free lunch and milk, must be implemented immediately to provide direct benefits to the community.
“This is about necessity, this is about the future of the nation,” he added.
In implementing the program, Prabowo ensured that Indonesia has the capacity to carry it out. Referring to the budget for social assistance and education which reaches trillions of rupiah, Prabowo emphasized the importance of providing food in schools as part of the social assistance program.
Responding to the large budget used for the construction of the National Capital City (IKN), Prabowo is confident that Indonesia is capable of managing it. He stressed that the development of the IKN is part of the country’s infrastructure that requires a large investment.
“We can manage it. Let’s not be influenced by the brainwashing that Indonesia is a poor country,” he firmly stated.
In a discussion held by the Indonesian Journalist Association (PWI) at the Dewan Pers Building, Prabowo emphasized that the large budget used for the IKN project should be seen as part of a 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 construction of the IKN. For him, the belief that Indonesia is capable of achieving success and managing large projects like the IKN is very important. (SENOPATI)
