TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Suwono (62), who proclaimed to be the third Indonesian president, stood in front of the Constitutional Court (MK) headquarters on Thursday, June 20, during the election dispute trial.
During the MK trial breaks, Tempo met with the man who carries cardboard written with “The 3rd president after Bung Karno [and] Suharto.”
Suwono said he did not believe any president after the fall of Soeharto in 1998, which include President Jokowi, deeming that they were not the actual presidents.
“B.J. Habibie, Gus Dur, Megawati, SBY, up to Jokowi were people occupying the Palace but they are not real presidents,” he said.
Asked about his opinion about Jokowi who has been re-elected into office for the second term, Suwono said that Jokowi was not a president, but rather “a human executor.”
Suwono was present in front of the MK building as a massage parlor offering his services for members of authority standing guard throughout the court trial proceedings of the election dispute. He also recalled that he once had worked on 11 mobile brigade police members who stood guard in front of the MK headquarters.
