        "summary": "Hasto Kristiyanto, the Secretary-General of PDI-P, has urged the current government and coalition parties under President Prabowo to heed public criticisms, drawing from the party's experiences during Joko Widodo's second term when numerous critiques proved accurate. He emphasised that criticism is essential for a healthy democracy and should be viewed as an expression of love for the nation rather than hostility, particularly in addressing implementation issues in policies like the free nutritious meals programme. Hasto warned against treating critics as enemies by involving the police, advocating instead for open dialogue to foster constructive contributions to the republic.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Secretary-General of PDI-P, Hasto\nKristiyanto, has reminded the government and coalition parties not to\nignore criticisms from the public.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the experience during President Joko Widodo\u2019s\nadministration, he noted that many criticisms ultimately proved to be\ncorrect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the opening remarks earlier, I also stated that criticism is\nhealthy for democracy. Actually, PDI Perjuangan also wants to share.\nWhen we were in the government, especially during President Jokowi\u2019s\nsecond term, many criticisms emerged,\u201d said Hasto when met at the PDI-P\nParty School on Saturday (18\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then it turned out that many of the criticisms given were indeed\ntruths,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we do not want parties in the government to experience\nwhat PDI-P went through at that time,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that criticism should be seen as a form of love for the\nnation and country, not as an attack on the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus, let us turn various criticisms into a form of love for the\nnation and country to provide contributions when seeing issues in the\nimplementation of policies with good vision from President Prabowo but\nin practice causing various problems,\u201d said Hasto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, spending on free nutritious meals. Although the\nprogramme is highly ideological and touches the needs of the people, in\npractice PDI-P has observed many things voiced by the public and these\nmust be responded to openly,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, criticisms regarding food issues are reported to the police.\nCriticisms against the government are reported to the police. Yet this\nrepublic was built through dialectics,\u201d said Hasto in a speech at the\nseminar commemorating the Asia-Africa Conference (KAA) at the PDI-P\nParty School in South Jakarta on Saturday (18\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, criticisms of the government should not be viewed\nas hatred or enmity. Instead, criticism is a manifestation of concern\nand love for the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we criticise the government, it does not mean we do not want the\ngovernment to succeed. On the contrary, when we criticise the\ngovernment, it is because we care and love the homeland for this\nrepublic,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
