Anies berpesan diaspora di Jepang tetap terlibat aktif kawal demokrasi
Anies Baswedan, Gubernur DKI Jakarta, recently delivered a message to the Indonesian diaspora in Japan, urging them to remain actively involved in safeguarding democracy in Indonesia. This message comes at a critical time as the country faces challenges to its democratic institutions and principles.
In his address, Anies emphasized the importance of diaspora members staying informed about political developments in Indonesia and actively participating in the democratic process. He encouraged them to use their voices and influence to advocate for good governance, transparency, and accountability in the country.
Anies also highlighted the role that the diaspora can play in promoting democracy and human rights in Indonesia. He emphasized the need for unity and solidarity among Indonesians both at home and abroad to defend democratic values and principles.
The governor’s message comes as Indonesia grapples with rising levels of political polarization, corruption, and challenges to press freedom. The country’s democracy has faced increasing threats in recent years, including attempts to weaken institutions such as the anti-corruption commission and restrictions on freedom of expression.
The Indonesian diaspora in Japan, like those in other countries, can play a crucial role in upholding democracy and promoting good governance in their homeland. By staying informed, engaging in political discussions, and advocating for democratic values, they can help ensure that Indonesia remains a vibrant and inclusive democracy.
Anies’ call to action is a reminder that all Indonesians, regardless of where they are, have a responsibility to safeguard democracy and protect the rights and freedoms of all citizens. By staying engaged and active in the democratic process, the diaspora can contribute to a more just and inclusive society in Indonesia.
As the Indonesian diaspora in Japan and around the world continue to play a vital role in promoting democracy and human rights in their homeland, Anies’ message serves as a timely reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and engaged in the fight for a more democratic and inclusive Indonesia.
