        "content": "<p>The government faces a policy dilemma with no truly comfortable\noptions.<\/p>\n<p>President Prabowo Subianto has asked all parties to prioritise the\nrules and mechanisms in the democratic system. This includes if the\npeople desire a change in government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is a government deemed not good, then change that\ngovernment. There is a mechanism for it, done properly, peacefully. It\ncan be through general elections, no problem. It can also be through\nimpeachment (ouster), no problem,\u201d said Prabowo during a briefing at the\nWorking Meeting of the Red and White Cabinet at the Presidential Palace\nin Jakarta on Wednesday (8\/4).<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo emphasised that impeachment can be pursued if desired.\nHowever, the process must be carried out according to the applicable\nmechanisms. According to him, ousting efforts can be channelled through\nthe People\u2019s Representative Council (DPR), the Constitutional Court\n(MK), and the People\u2019s Consultative Assembly (MPR).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImpeachment has its channels: DPR, MK, MPR. If done, no problem. In\nour history, changes have occurred. Bung Karno stepped down peacefully,\nPak Harto stepped down peacefully, Gus Dur stepped down peacefully,\nthrough processes, not through violence,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Prabowo called on the public not to be easily divided and\nnot to be easily ignited emotionally. He also asked the public to trust\nthe system that has been built and applies in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, trust the system built by our nation\u2019s founders. Trust our own\nstrength, trust Indonesia,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
