REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- National agency to win Prabowo Subianto - Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno (BPN) in 2019 presidential election planned to report Boyolali Regent Seno Samodro to police and Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu). Seno was accused to have badly curse presidential candidate Prabowo in a speech.
“Currently people who say they are defending Boyolali people actually say inappropriate words, especially in Boyolali regency, it’s more more tendentious and contain hate speech so we will report to police and Bawaslu,” said BPN deputy chairman Yandri Susanto on Monday (Nov 5).
Yandri said the words were considered inappropriate to come from public official. He assessed Boyolali Regent Seno words were detrimental to Prabowo - Sandiaga pair, so he would report the regent to Bawaslu. “We will report because it harms Prabowo - Sandiaga pair,” Yandri added.
In addition, Yandri said Prabowo’s speech that mentioned about Boyolali face must be understood as a whole. According to him, the video spreaded on social medias only a fragment, so he would report it to police as it has caused misunderstanding in the community.
“If the speech is followed from the beginning to the end, it’s very good,” Yandri added.
