Surakarta, LPM Campus — The Solo Raya student alliance, which calls itself Aliansi Solidaritas Perlawanan Rakyat Solo Raya (SODARA), held an action in front of Solo City Hall.
The action was held in response to the current national condition which is similar to a political play due to constitutional violations and ethical violations committed by the KPU chairman. This action is also a response to the movement that claims itself as a student, especially those who have recently claimed themselves as UMS students, this is strongly condemned and is very unfortunate because it has damaged the morale of the student movement. The decline of students today confirms that students in Solo Raya from any element remain independent and do not side with one of the candidate pairs. This action was attended by various organizations from various universities held on Thursday, (2/4) at Solo City Hall.
This action took place since 13.00 A.M, the alliance wore black clothes and walked from the direction of Vastenburg Fort carrying banners. Then the alliance stopped in front of Solo City Hall, which is the office of one of the bodies that has violated the state constitution.
The demands raised in this action are that the state administration must obey or maintain the dignity of the state constitution, today it is proven that because since the beginning of the nomination has violated many regulations, the process has also violated many regulations and what has just been proven is the ethical violations committed by the chairman of the KPU and it could be that in the future it will commit other violations.
“This is a place that yesterday became a claim that people who do not know where they come from, without knowing what their background is, suddenly do a demo gimmick, but in the end they support one of the candidate pairs, that’s what we condemn” Fierdha Abdullah ali, one of the students who are members of the Aliansi Solidaritas Perlawanan Rakyat Solo Raya (SODARA) explained one of the points of the action that was being voiced.
“We hope that everyone will maintain the country’s democracy, especially this year, to run conducive to the success of our democracy, if our democratic system is healthy, it will produce good leaders, but if our democracy has been hurt or damaged by these violations, then in the future our democracy will be sick, why? Because leaders who are produced from fraudulent means are leaders who will justify all means to win bureaucratic contestation.” He explained
This action is an affirmation to the community that students are not compartmentalized against one of the candidate pairs, so people should not be carried away by the issue that students have made choices, students are very objective, that they are not compartmentalized into one candidate pair, students remain independent.
