Hoax! Article Claims Anies Baswedan Calls for "Overthrowing Prabowo"

Jakarta (ANTARA/JACX) – A post on social media platform X displays a screenshot of an article titled Anies Baswedan Calls for the Overthrow of President Prabowo Subianto. The post includes a narrative suggesting that Anies stated President Prabowo cannot be advised and can only be toppled. The narrative in the post reads: “Sensational! Anies Baswedan Calls for ‘Overthrowing Prabowo’: Cannot Be Advised, Only Capable of Being Toppled.” However, is it true that Anies Baswedan called for the overthrow of Prabowo? Explanation: Based on investigations, no official statement or credible evidence has been found indicating that Anies Baswedan ever issued such a call. In fact, the narrative originates from an article featuring statements by Saiful Mujani, not Anies Baswedan. The original title of the article is “Sensational! Saiful Mujani Calls for ‘Overthrowing Prabowo’: Cannot Be Advised, Only Capable of Being Toppled,” published by Suara.com. The circulating post has been edited to make it appear as though the statement comes from Anies Baswedan, whereas the original context is different. Therefore, the claim that Anies Baswedan called for the overthrow of Prabowo Subianto is untrue or a hoax.
