Merdeka.com – The Coalition for Action to Save Indonesia (USA) event in Surabaya could not be implemented. This is because the event, which actually took place in two locations, was blocked by multiple people.
In the invitation that was circulating, the kami event should have been held at Gedung Juang 45 Jalan Mayjend Sungkono Surabaya. However, it turned out that the American event was also held at a location at Jalan Jambangan Kebon Agung No 76, Surabaya.
In fact, in that last place, the former Commander in Chief was present TNI Gatot Nurmantyo.
Mass WE We Reject
The same thing happened. In both Gedung Juang 45 and Jambangan, several people who acted on behalf of ‘Surabaya is KITA’ (the Indonesian Coalition for Security) have also been rejected.
At Gedung Juang 45, the US event cannot take place. This was because the blocking crowd prevented everyone from entering the venue.
While in Jambangan, Gatot Nurmantyo was present and gave a speech, until he was finally forced to stop his speech because several people in civilian clothes were asked.
Reason for dissolution
The action field coordinator (Korlap), Andri Adi Kusumo, said that the action was carried out because his party did not want certain groups to undermine the government’s authority. According to him, WE are a form of political stunt that wants to attack the legitimate government.
“Surabaya is now fighting Covid-19 and they (WE) are actually organizing riots. So, we reject all OUR activities,” he said on Monday (9/28).
