Disguised campaigning

Disguised campaigning

From Warta Kota

A number of political parties have clearly started their election campaigns, including putting up banners and flags everywhere.

Party leaders, especially those who hold government positions, are also campaigning wherever they go, though they always deny this. However, it is the facts that matter, rather than their denials.

It must be really difficult for them to claim that no campaigning has been taking place when it is clear to everybody that the opposite is the case. Perhaps only in their consciences will they admit what is happening.

Let us hope that the habit of saying things that are totally at odds with the facts will not adversely affect the Indonesian people.
