TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Deputy of the National Campaign Team of Jokowi and Ma`ruf Amin, Johnny G. Plate, stated that the hoax made by Ratna Sarumpaet was an old-fashioned politics.
“Victimization (pretending to be victims) politics is an old-fashioned politics that is counter-productive and not worthy of being displayed in the public,” Johnny said at a press conference at Cemara post, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 3.
Johnny said the hoax made by Ratna had a direct impact on the 2019 presidential election because Ratna complained to the presidential candidate number 02, Prabowo Subianto.
“The political ways through victimization and dissemination of hoax undermine the quality of our democracy and also lower the dignity of the nation and state,” Johnny said.
