Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –

Name of the president Joko widodo dragged into action case racism against former Komnas HAM commissioner Natalius Pigai. This racial action was carried out by one of Jokowi’s volunteer leaders, Ambroncius Nababan.

The case began with Ambroncius’ uploading to his personal Facebook page. He uploaded a photo of Pigai next to a gorilla.

“Edodoeee pace. His vaccine is not Sinovac pace, but his brother said it was the rabies vaccine,” Ambroncius Nababan wrote through his Facebook account. The upload was then uploaded to the @ NataliusPigai2 Twitter account on Sunday (1/24).

The name Jokowi began to be associated because netizens knew that Ambroncius was a Jokowi volunteer. Warganet found a photo of Ambroncius with Jokowi. There is also a photo of Ambroncius with former TKN Jokowi-Maruf director Erick Thohir.

Hanura Party Secretary General I Gede Pasek Suadika said Ambroncius was a cadre of the party. He also acknowledged that Ambroncius was the general president of the Pro Jokowi-Amin Volunteer (Projamin).

Pigai responded to racism with criticism. According to him, the massacres, killings and human rights crimes in Papua during the Joko Widodo government tended to be based on racism.

“All crimes in Papua are based on racial hatred. Papuans will never be able to live comfortably with a racist nation. Jakarta must turn on the faucet of democracy with the people of Papua. Otherwise, I fear that instability may ensue due to racial conflicts in Papua. I am a humanitarian defender who has a moral obligation to remember, “said Pigai. CNNIndonesia.com, Monday (1/25).

Jokowi’s relationship with the Papuan people is also often the center of attention. One of them was after the racist action in Surabaya in August 2019.

At that time, the people of Papua held various demonstrations in various areas. The demonstration was sparked by unscrupulous officials who called the Papuan students in Surabaya monkeys.

The case even sparked unrest in Manokwari on August 19, 2019. Jokowi intervened, asking Papuans to forgive. He also promised to respect Papua.

“Rest assured that the government will protect the honor and well-being of Pakce Mace, the women of Papua and West Papua,” Jokowi said on August 19, 2019.
