  • Pasbata Prabowo Chairman David Febrian urged against politicizing Budi Arie Setiadi's prediction that President Prabowo's government might not complete its term.
  • Febrian stated Budi Arie's remarks should be viewed as a response to existing political dynamics and previous statements.
  • He specifically referenced comments by former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Denny Indrayana regarding President Prabowo and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

David Febrian, Chairman of Pasbata Prabowo, has called for restraint in interpreting the recent statement by Budi Arie Setiadi, the Chairman of Projo, regarding the potential duration of President Prabowo's administration.

Febrian urged that Budi Arie's prediction, suggesting President Prabowo might not serve until 2029, should not be turned into a new political controversy. He emphasized that Setiadi's remarks should be understood in their full context as a reaction to political dynamics already present in public discourse.

The Pasbata Prabowo chairman highlighted that the initial context for Setiadi's statement involved existing discussions about the possibility of the Indonesian President not completing the full five-year term. Additionally, there have been calls for Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka to resign.

Febrian specifically pointed to statements made by former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights, Denny Indrayana. "Don't reverse the issue. We must first look at Denny Indrayana's statements, which I think are very reckless because they already talk about the possibility of President Prabowo not finishing his term and encourage Mas Gibran to resign," David said in a press statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Don't reverse the issue. We must first look at Denny Indrayana's statements, which I think are very reckless because they already talk about the possibility of President Prabowo not finishing his term and encourage Mas Gibran to resign.
