"Yes, he is not too disturbed by this discourse because he is continuing to work as usual," he informed at the Ministry of State Secretariat Building here on Tuesday.
Dwipayana said that President Widodo is focusing more on the government's complex duties and several other projects that need to be completed, especially those undertaken in the last year of his term.
According to him, the discourse on impeachment is legitimate and is part of the process of conveying opinions or criticisms from a democratic perspective.
However, he emphasized that national interests must be prioritized so that the political situation does not become more challenging or potentially disrupts the unity of the nation.
"We keep this conducive situation safe from political polarization," he said.
Further, an impeachment must pass a political test involving three institutions, namely the House of Representatives (DPR), the Constitutional Court, and the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), he informed.
Any actions carried out to impeach the President outside the mechanism would be unconstitutional, he added.
Amid the impeachment issue, public trust in President Widodo is still quite high at above 75 percent, Dwipayana emphasized.
This is not only seen at the survey level, people in the regions are still showing high enthusiasm and welcoming the President during his visits to the regions and dialogues with them, he said.
The discourse on impeachment arose after a number of figures who are members of Petisi 100 went to the office of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, on January 9, 2024, to propose that President Widodo be impeached.
