Jakarta –
General (retired) Gatot Nurmantyo attributed his replacement as TNI commander in 2017 to his orders to see the movie G30S / PKI. At that time, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) watched the film with Gatot, who was still the TNI commander at Korem 061 / Suryakancana headquarters, Bogor, West Java. In fact, Jokowi claimed to have seen the movie three times.
“I watched four and a half hours. This is the third time,” Jokowi said after the ceremony at the Pancasila Sakti Monument, Lubang Buaya, East Jakarta, on Sunday (1/10/2017).
At that time, the atmosphere of watching the G30S / PKI movie seemed relaxed. Jokowi even had time to mingle with the residents present.
In December 2017, Gatot was replaced by Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto as TNI commander.
Now, Gatot is linking his replacement as TNI commander and the order to see the G30S / PKI movie. According to him, there was a PDIP politician who reminded him not to continue with his orders to see the film G30S / PKI.
However, Gatot did not heed the warning and continued with the screening of the film G30S / PKI. Gatot expressed this on a YouTube channel quoted on Wednesday (9/23/2020).
“When I became TNI commander I saw all that, so I ordered my ranks to watch the movie G30S / PKI. At that time, I had a friend from one of the parties, I call him a PDI party, saying, ‘Pak Gatot, Enough with that. If you’re not sure, Mr. Gatot will be replaced, “Gatot said while speaking on the Hersubeno Point YouTube channel.
“I said thank you, but there I gave him gas because this is really dangerous. And I was actually replaced,” Gatot said.
On another occasion, PDIP politician Effendi Simbolon also dismissed Gatot’s statement that a PDIP member had warned that he would be replaced as TNI commander. Effendi said that the replacement of the TNI leadership was natural. Furthermore, at the time, Gatot was entering his retirement period.
“No, no, we do not have such a subjective assessment, which is a replacement process, the replacement process is actually a normal process because it is nearing retirement,” said Effendi at the MPR / DPR building complex, Senayan, Jakarta. Wednesday (9/23/20).
