Prabowo Subianto marks two years of administration with cabinet plenary
President Prabowo Subianto led a plenary cabinet meeting in Jakarta to mark the second anniversary of his administration. During the session, the President expressed appreciation for the hard work and cohesion of the Merah Putih Cabinet, while also addressing several critical national challenges.
Prabowo issued a directive to investigate forest and land fires (karhutla), labeling intentional burning as “environmental terrorism.” He ordered the police, Attorney General, Ministry of Forestry, TNI, and intelligence agencies to investigate the involvement of individuals and corporations, vowing to revoke the licenses of any companies found violating the law.
Regarding economic and national security, the President emphasized the importance of food self-sufficiency and energy independence through biodiesel and ethanol. He also addressed global challenges, including geopolitical conflicts, trade wars, and the necessity of strengthening military equipment (alutsista) to maintain sovereignty and support humanitarian missions.
Political analysts and observers noted that while the administration maintains strong coalition support, there are concerns regarding the potential weakening of democratic checks and balances. Additionally, a Matriks Politik Indonesia survey evaluated cabinet performance, identifying Amran Sulaiman as the best-performing minister and Teddy Indra Wijaya as the most popular official.
