Palace Opens Voice
Coordinator of the President’s Special Staff, Ari Dwipayana, said that Jokowi’s activity of distributing t-shirts was highlighted after meeting with village heads throughout Serang Regency in Margagiri Village, Banten. Ari said that distributing the t-shirts was an activity that Jokowi often carried out after attending the agenda.
“So, at that time there was an event from the Ministry of Village, meeting with the village head. After the event was finished, as usual, you met the residents who had gathered in front, outside the event on the street,” said Ari at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta. , Tuesday (9/1/2024).
“We know that there are definitely lots of banners outside the event that will be caught on camera, but actually they are outside the event,” he continued.
Ari confirmed that the Prabowo-Gibran billboard displayed was not related to Jokowi’s presence or agenda at that location. Ari thought it was just a coincidence that a resident recorded Jokowi’s activities amidst the Prabowo-Gibran billboards.
“It’s not related to the President. First, the event was over and of course the event location was sterile and after you left the event location, you distributed social assistance to the people who had gathered on the street, so they were arrested there. There were actually lots of posters outside because of the area housing,” said Ari.
“Yes, people just happen to take photos, meet them, get caught, that’s right. But actually outside the event, outside the event location,” he added.
