Suara.com – Constitutional law expert Refly Harun commented on the removal of TNI General Gatot Nurmantyo from the TNI commander seat. According to him, the dismissal was due to Gatot having the opportunity to alter the constellation of the 2019 elections.
This was broadcast by Refly on his YouTube channel titled ‘Gatot Nurmantyo Controversy, Getting Fired Due to G30S / PKI Movie!’.
“Gatot was one of the figures mentioned as one of the potential presidential candidates at the time. Therefore, his retirement was rushed so that he would not be someone who total power, “ said Refly as quoted Suara.com, Thursday (24/9/2020).
It is known that in the 2019 presidential elections there were two military presidential candidates, namely Prabowo Subianto and Gatot Nurmantyo.
However, the name Prabowo Subianto was more popular because at that time it received support from the 212 era.
Controversy over the cause of Gatot’s removal from the post of TNI Commander recently broke out in the public.
Gatot announced that the reason he was fired was because he had commissioned the screening of the film G30SPKI in the military.
At least that statement was made by Gatot Nurmantyo when he was one of the speakers in the discussion on the YouTube channel Hersubeno Arief.
According to Refly, there were reports that Gatot was removed from the post of TNI commander not only because of instructions to screen the film G30SPKI in the military. But there are other reasons.
“The PKI issue has always been raised by Gatot Nurmantyo on various occasions. In fact, it is difficult for us to accurately grasp whether this PKI still exists. But interestingly, what is the correlation between the G30SPKI’s replay and the Gatot removal? “said Refly Harun
So there may or may not be a correlation in the screening of the film G30SPKI, but what is clear, Refly said, when he was TNI commander, General Gatot was one of the people feared as a recognized candidate for leader.
“There is information from a friend that I don’t need to name. He said why the government (in 2016) was so concerned about General Gatot. There are three things, because he has three legacy in him,” Refly said.
The three legacy in question, namely, first is an Army general. Second, it comes from the Javanese ethnic majority.
The third legacy that is no less important is that it comes from a Santri family.
It is these three powers in one that are later considered sources and could endanger or could become strong rivals to President Jokowi in 2019.
“That’s why it is quickly removed. So that it doesn’t grow like something total power, “ Refly said.
