Prabowo: Law Must Not Be Political Revenge Tool

President Prabowo Subianto has cautioned against the misuse of law for political retribution, emphasizing its role as a protector of the people. Speaking at the 80th anniversary of the Indonesian National Police in Cikeas, Bogor, Prabowo stated that the law should not be wielded by the wealthy or for the benefit of any single group.

“

Law must not be sharp downwards and blunt upwards. Law must not be an instrument for those who have money. Law must not be an instrument of political revenge. Law must not be used for the interests of any single group.

"Law must not be sharp downwards and blunt upwards," Prabowo declared. He asserted that Indonesia, as a nation of law, must respect and uphold legal principles. This includes preventing criminalization, abuse of power, and ensuring no one is above the law.

The president highlighted that the law should serve as a sanctuary for the honest and a source of security for the public. "The law must be a refuge for the weak," he said, underscoring the need for the most vulnerable to receive protection and for those seeking truth and justice to be served.

"The righteous must feel safe. The guilty must be held accountable for their actions," Prabowo added. The police commemoration event featured various displays, including a tactical vehicle convoy, parachute jumps, and a parade of personnel from the police, military, and partner organizations.
