He noted that as one of the world’s largest democracies, political dynamics are an inherent part of governance in Indonesia.
Therefore, he said, the government consistently strives to be responsive to criticism and public input.
“President Prabowo is open to criticism, evaluation, and community input, as long as they are conveyed without anarchy, without damaging public facilities, and without causing social division,” Soeparno stated in Jakarta on Tuesday.

He emphasized that the government continues to maintain active communication with business players, issuers, and investors, which he described as a positive sign that there is no need for excessive anxiety.
“National economic stability is the main foundation. Data shows that economic growth remains positive and foreign exchange reserves are strong. Moreover, Indonesia’s banking system is currently relatively healthy,” he remarked.
The deputy speaker also highlighted the government’s ongoing efforts to improve legal and security certainty and eliminate all forms of racketeering to ensure a conducive investment climate.
“The government continues to make improvements to maintain Indonesia’s investment climate,” he affirmed.
Soeparno then called on all parties to safeguard Indonesia’s democracy from acts of anarchy and violence, stressing that riots ultimately harm the community by discouraging investors from entering the country.
