Opposition in the future government--Opinion Jawa Pos (16/02/2024)

 

My op-ed, published by Jawa Pos (16/02), responds to the 'victory' political speech of Prabowo-Gibran at Istora, the night after the election (14/02). The speech is a serious signal for the future government's political obsession that prioritises the illusion of unity and reconciliation while downplaying (once again) the role of the opposition. This formula continues the political stability maintained since President Joko Widodo's regime. In this article, I attempt to unravel the implications of the potential grand coalition and its risks for the political opposition.
