        "summary": "A coalition of Indonesian youth, student, and Islamic groups has issued a joint proclamation rejecting claims that Indonesia is heading for bankruptcy, citing positive economic indicators. The declaration, made during a public discussion in Jakarta, also expressed support for the government's nutritional agency and village cooperative programmes. The groups further condemned calls for President Prabowo Subianto's mid-term resignation and rejected narratives promoting a 'Reformasi Jilid II'.",
        "content": "<p>The KNPI Rawamangun Youth Building hall witnessed a united commitment\nfrom the younger generation to safeguard the nation\u2019s direction. The\nIslamic Youth Movement (GPI), together with an alliance of youth,\nuniversity student, and school student elements, spoke with one voice.\nThe public discussion was held under the theme \u2018The Ninja Path of\nIntellectuals: Guarding the Government Through Measured Criticism\nWithout a Vortex of Conflict\u2019, featuring three speakers: General\nChairman of PP GPI Khoirul Amin, senior Jakarta activist Khairullah T,\nand Talimuddin Rumaratu.<\/p>\n<p>The interactive discussion produced a firm statement of stance,\nenshrined in a document titled \u2018Joint Proclamation and Resolution\u2019. The\nproclamation was read alternately by representatives of each attending\nelement as a symbol of Indonesian youth solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We assert that the \u201cIndonesia Bankrupt\u201d narrative is an erroneous\nleap of conclusion, unfounded in real economic indicators and merely\nserves as street-level political rhetoric,\u2019 emphasised Fery Dermawan,\nSecretary General of the Central Board of the Islamic Youth Movement,\nwhile reading the Joint Proclamation and Resolution on Saturday\n(27\/06\/2026). \u2018Indonesia\u2019s economic growth in the first quarter of 2026\ngrew positively by 5.61% (one of the best in the G20 and ASEAN), public\npurchasing power is maintained, and Bulog\u2019s rice reserves reached a\nrecord 5.3 million tonnes in mid-2026,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, M. Zaeni Warat, representing the youth element, conveyed\nfull support for improvements and governance within the National\nNutrition Agency. Zaeni also expressed support for economic\ndecentralisation through the Merah Putih Village Cooperatives. \u2018The\ncontroversy regarding alleged budget leakage at the National Nutrition\nAgency (BGN) proves that the early detection system and law enforcement\nare functioning. Evaluation and legal action must proceed, but the\nnutritional rights of 43 million school children must not be halted,\u2019 he\nexplained. \u2018We also fully support the logic of self-reliance through the\nMerah Putih Village Cooperatives so that capital circulation moves\nconcretely at the village level for growth that is not Java-centric,\u2019\nZaeni Warat stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Zhiyah Aulia, representing the student element, stated that demands\nfor President Prabowo Subianto to resign mid-term are unconstitutional.\n\u2018We assess that the demand for President Prabowo Subianto to step down\nmid-term without juridical reason is a premature, disproportionate act\nthat has the potential to injure the legitimate constitution,\u2019 she\ndeclared. She also explained that the current historical context is\nvastly different from 1998. Therefore, Zhiyah Aulia firmly rejected the\nprovocative narrative currently developing in public about a \u2018Reformasi\nJilid II\u2019. \u2018We firmly reject unconstitutional movements and the\n\u201cReformasi Jilid II\u201d narrative. We believe the checks and balances\nsystem is already functioning well through the Constitutional Court, the\nmulti-party DPR, and a free press. Rejecting large-scale extreme\npolitical movements is a form of youth empathy to protect the\nlivelihoods of ordinary people from the threat of inflation and mass\nlayoffs,\u2019 Zhiyah Aulia concluded.<\/p>",
