        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has stated that he has no issue with impeachment proceedings as long as they follow established constitutional channels, such as those involving the DPR and MPR, rather than through violence. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, he emphasised Indonesia's democratic system where the people hold sovereignty and can change governments peacefully via elections or legal processes, citing historical peaceful transitions like those of Sukarno, Suharto, and Gus Dur. This comes amid renewed public discussions on impeachment following political scientist Saiful Mujani's call for consolidation against Prabowo's performance, which he described as legitimate political engagement rather than treason.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has said he has no problem with\nimpeachment as long as it is carried out in accordance with the\napplicable provisions, not through violence.<\/p>\n<p>He made this statement during the \u2018Presidential Briefing at the Red\nand White Cabinet Working Meeting\u2019 at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta\non Wednesday (8\/4).<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo stated that Indonesia has chosen to be a democratic country,\nso sovereignty lies in the hands of the people. He said that if the\npeople assess that the government is not performing well, a change can\nbe made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no problem if there is a government that is deemed not\ngood, then change the government; there is a mechanism for that, in a\ngood way, peacefully, through General Elections, no problem,\u201d said\nPrabowo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can also be through impeachment, no problem either. But\nimpeachment must go through the channels; there are channels, DPR, MPR,\nif done that way, no problem,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo then alluded to changes or transitions of leadership in\nIndonesia that occurred peacefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our history, changes have occurred. Bung Karno stepped down\npeacefully, Pak Harto stepped down peacefully, Gus Dur stepped down\npeacefully, through processes, not through violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, brothers and sisters, believe in the system that has been built\nby the founders of our nation. Believe in our own strength. Believe in\nIndonesia,\u201d said the Chairman General of the Gerindra Party.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of impeachment has resurfaced in public discourse after\nProfessor of Political Science at UIN Jakarta, Saiful Mujani, called for\nconsolidation to bring down President Prabowo.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the statement was made at an event themed \u201chalal\nbihalal of observers before being organised.\u201d Saiful emphasised that\nthis political stance is not treason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe question is, can my statement be called treason? I affirm that\nit is not treason, but political engagement, namely a political stance\nor statement made about a political issue in front of many people. The\npolitics in that event mainly related to President Prabowo\u2019s\nperformance,\u201d said Saiful in his explanation on Tuesday (7\/4).<\/p>",
