Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia during the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of PDI-P, Hall A JIExpo Kemayoran, DKI Jakarta Province, January 10, 2023

Reporter

Any discussion with you on presidential candidate promoted by Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P)?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

You may ask Bu Mega.

Reporter

What do you think about Mr. Lukas Enembe who is arrested today?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

Everyone is equal before the law. It is a process of law that we must respect. I think if the Corruption Eradication Comission (KPK) has arrested him, it means that they certainly have the facts and evidences.

Reporter

Which party that seemed to be rushing, Sir?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

I tell you, Bu Mega is very careful in making decision, not rushing, but with careful calculation.

Reporter

You didn’t mean to point out to any party, do you, Sir? Including the NasDem party?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

That is what I have said in order to respond to what Ibu Megawati has said.

Reporter

Thank you, Pak Jokowi.
