REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Advisor of Prabowo-Hatta campaign team, Priyo Budi Santoso, said that Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo often stuck to micro and technical issues rather than greater ideas on foreign policy and national defense during the third presidential debate. Furthermore, Santoso said, Jokowi seemed lacking of knowledge on global issues.
"People's prosperity and social injustice are the keys then build a strong military with adequate weaponry," Santoso said on Tuesday.
When speaking about border territory, Jokowi underlined the importance of using drone rather than satellite. The idea, Santoso said, was Jokowi's weakness point during the debate on keeping Indonesia's territorial integrity.
On the other hand, Santoso praised Prabowo due to his broader visions on a number of foreign policy as well as national defense. Santoso claimed Prabowo was the winner of the third presidential debate.
After the debate, Prabowo's electability rate slightly increased 1.2 digit in a internal survey held by Red and White Coalition.
