        "summary": "The administration of President Prabowo Subianto has been assessed as democratic by Ayip Tayana, Executive Director of the National Data Index, who highlights indicators such as the government's acceptance of public criticism, commitment to impartial law enforcement, and absence of systemic restrictions on opposition or civil society organisations. Tayana notes that the government is far from authoritarian, as it remains open to critique, unlike truly repressive regimes, and cites the commitment to resolving the acid attack case against KontraS deputy chairman Andri Yunus as a positive signal for transparent justice. This evaluation underscores a balance between democratic openness and state firmness in Indonesia's evolving political landscape.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The administration of President Prabowo Subianto is\ndeemed democratic. Ayip Tayana, Executive Director of the National Data\nIndex, mentioned several indicators of the democratic quality in\nPrabowo\u2019s current government. Among them, the government still\nacknowledges public criticism, a commitment to law enforcement without\nfavouritism, and no systemic restrictions on opposition or civil society\norganisations. \u201cSo my conclusion is that the Prabowo Subianto\nadministration is still democratic, with a tendency to demonstrate state\nfirmness,\u201d he said to reporters on Saturday, 28 March 2026. He stated\nthat President Prabowo\u2019s government is far from being authoritarian.\nThis is because the government itself is open to criticism voiced by the\npublic. This is seen as different from truly authoritarian regimes,\nwhich usually close off space for criticism from the outset. \u201cIf we look\nat it empirically so far, I have not seen sufficient strong evidence to\ncall the Prabowo Subianto government an authoritarian one,\u201d he said.\nAyip also highlighted the commitment to resolving the acid attack case\nagainst the Deputy Chairman of the Commission for the Disappeared and\nVictims of Violence (KontraS), Andri Yunus. He views this as a positive\nsignal for transparent and accountable law enforcement.<\/p>",
