JOKOWI - TEGAL. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) again insinuated politicians as genderuwo. Previously, Jokowi had insinuated unethical politicians as sontoloyo.

Genderuwa (in Javanese pronunciation: "Genderuwo") is a Javanese myth about a kind of genie or a large, muscular human form like a monkey with reddish black skin, its body covered in thick hair that grows all over the body.

According to the President, genderuwo politicians are politicians who often spread propaganda by scaring the public. Because, in the current political year, many politicians are good at influencing.

"(Genderuwo politicians) do not use good political ethics and do not have good political manners. Nowadays, there are many politicians who carry out politics with propaganda that raises anxiety," the President said, Friday (9/11).

Jokowi considered that the propaganda action caused uncertainty and doubt in the community. In fact, the nation's greatest asset is unity, brotherhood, harmony.

"Do not let us experience losses. Because, Indonesia holds elections for regents, governors, mayors every five years. We must maintain unity," he said. (Translator: Barratut Taqiyyah Rafie)
