President-elect Prabowo Subianto believes that democracy in Indonesia will be stronger due to the development of the internet and social media. He emphasized that democracy is about the sovereignty of the people and their right to choose their leaders through elections.
Prabowo also highlighted the importance of criticism in a democracy, stating that it must be objective and constructive. He expressed the need for freedom of the press, acknowledging that some media outlets in Indonesia are owned by a few individuals and questioning whether they truly represent the people’s interests.
With the rapid development of social media and the internet, Prabowo hopes that people will have access to a wider range of information sources and not be controlled by a few media owners. He believes that democracy will be stronger now that information can reach the people quickly and cannot be controlled by a small group of individuals.
