Institutional abuse?

Institutional abuse?

It seems it is not wrong for a high-ranking police officer to say that the press exaggerated the "Banyumas VCD" case.

The official Election Supervisory Body, Panwaslu, has not responded to it. Is it possible for the police to carry out an internal investigation seriously?

Our political parties are focusing their attention more and more on power and wealth, and the people are casting out hope because the political elite's behavior has been so nauseating.

The case involves the alleged misuse of a state institution to promote a presidential candidate.

Is it an isolated case? Maybe it is, maybe not -- this depends on the authorities' seriousness in investigating it.

Will the case be investigated down to its core?

Don't expect too much. The case will only have an impact if the House of Representatives, Panwaslu and the police demonstrate a collective will to investigate it.

Politicians prefer to gain their positions of power and wealth by setting up alliances and coalitions. -- Republika, Jakarta
