Prabowo confident coalition parties aligned in safeguarding national wealth

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto is confident that the coalition parties supporting the government share the same direction in safeguarding the nation’s wealth to realise the welfare of the people.

“I sense that our struggle has been understood and appreciated. I believe the parties have grasped that. I am certain all the parties in our coalition are on this path. We no longer want to let our wealth keep being taken away,” said Prabowo while attending the 28th anniversary celebration of the National Awakening Party (PKB) at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Thursday evening.

Prabowo made the remarks after appreciating the outcome of PKB’s Ijtima Ulama (Ulama Assembly), which endorsed the government’s strategic steps to strengthen national sovereignty, build economic self-reliance, and return the direction of national development to the mandate of Pancasila and Article 33 of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945.

He added that Article 34 of the 1945 Constitution also affirms the state’s obligation to care for the poor and abandoned children, develop the social security system, and provide adequate healthcare and public services.

Prabowo said these constitutional mandates are being realised through various government policies, from bridge construction to school improvements. According to him, these policies can be implemented through budget efficiency and efforts to stop budget leaks.

He also believes that political parties outside the government coalition will cooperate in defending the interests of the nation and state.

“I am sure all the coalition parties I lead are of one breath, one soul, and stand with me. In the end, I also believe PDI Perjuangan will join us in defending the state and the nation. That is my instinct, my heart’s voice, because we are all patriots and children of Indonesia,” said Prabowo.
