        "content": "<p>Projo chairman Budi Arie Setiadi has stated that his organisation\ncontinues to support the administration of President Prabowo Subianto\nand Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. He also affirmed that\nrelations between Prabowo and Indonesia\u2019s seventh president, Joko Widodo\n(Jokowi), remain positive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding the relationship between Mr Jokowi and Mr Prabowo, there\nare those attempting to drive a wedge between them. In my view, stop the\nprovocation, because we want this government to be built on the\nfoundation of national unity,\u201d Budi Arie told journalists during Projo\u2019s\n12th anniversary celebration in Pancoran, South Jakarta, on Sunday\n(23\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Budi Arie said the problems facing Indonesia are already substantial\nand numerous. He therefore argued that all parties must exercise\nrestraint for the sake of the people\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational unity is important, and we as fellow citizens must unite to\nresolve the various problems facing the nation and the people. Because\nthe challenges facing our nation and state today are not light, amid the\nvarious upheavals occurring in society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Budi Arie also expressed his readiness to support Jokowi should the\nformer president take a role in leading the Indonesian Solidarity Party\n(PSI). However, he declined to answer questions about whether he himself\nwould become PSI\u2019s secretary-general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust wait. You have to ask Mr Jokowi whether he wants to become PSI\nchairman or not. Ask Mr Jokowi, \u2018Sir, do you want to become PSI chairman\nor not?\u2019 That\u2019s how it should be,\u201d Budi Arie said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for Projo, if Mr Jokowi becomes PSI chairman, Projo from Sabang\nto Merauke across all of Indonesia will certainly support Mr Jokowi\u2019s\nparty,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Budi Arie added that his organisation is still awaiting Jokowi\u2019s\nfuture political direction. Projo, he said, is ready to follow Jokowi\nwherever he goes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are waiting for Mr Jokowi\u2019s direction and instructions. If Mr\nJokowi becomes chairman, we will support Mr Jokowi\u2019s political\ndirection,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
