Gerindra Tepis Issues Prabowo Celebrates Christmas and Photos Hold Candle
PojokWarta. Photo of presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto holding a candle in a busy Christmas celebration discussed on social media. Gerindra explained the incident in the photo and dismissed the accusation that Prabowo celebrated Christmas.
Member of the Gerindra Party Communication Agency, Andre Rosiade, revealed the photo was taken in 2013. At that time, Prabowo attended the Christmas celebration held by the Gerindra Party at Hotel Kartika Chandra, Jakarta.
"So it attended the Gerindra Party Christmas celebration in Kartika Candra Hotel in 2013. Pak Prabowo was present in his capacity as the Gerindra Party Minister," Andre said when asked for confirmation on Wednesday.
"So Pak Prabowo is not celebrating Christmas as a Christian," he added.
Andre said the Gerindra Party had a party wing that accommodated Christian cadres. The party wing is called Kristen Indonesia Raya (Kira).
"Now that was the event that was held for Kira. Mr. Prabowo was present accompanied by Mr. Hashim and Mr. Djoko," he said.
Andre emphasized that what Prabowo did was not part of the form of worship. To note, the activity of lighting a candle is usually done during mass or Christmas services. The Spokesperson for the National Winning Body (BPN) Prabowo-Sandiaga also explained that what was done by the Gerindra Party Ketum was nothing special. Andre said that participating in celebrating Christmas is usually done by the head of a state institution or institution in Indonesia.
"So it is not worship. And the program is normal, every ordinary institution holds it. DPR / MPR are also used to doing that. Later, they will hold the candle as well as the Speaker of the House and Chair of the MPR. That is normal," Andre said
"Yes it's normal, yes, this is the presidential election. So it's all fried," he added.
In the photo circulating, Prabowo seemed to be holding a burning candle. He was in the middle, flanked by other Gerindra Party elites, namely Hashim Djojohadikusumo and Djoko Santoso. A large banner appears behind them with the words seen in the photo "Gerindra Party 'I am the Way and the Truth and Life" (John 14: 6a) Rev. Ruffy A ".
