Jakarta, Bimakini.- Jakarta and Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Alliance Independent journalist (ICW) organized a public and democratic politics workshop on Saturday March 22, 2025. The workshop took place for two days at the Aji Jakarta, Kalibata, South Jakarta secretariat.

The first day, attended the members of the board of directors of the association for elections and democracy (Perlude) Titi Anggraini, lecturer in Indonesian law school will Jeente Bivitri Susanti, and researchers at the Institute of Social Studies, University of Tartu Estonia Muhammad Okky Ibrohim as speakers.

Titi revealed that in 2024, the Indonesian democratic index fell 3 in classification compared to the previous year, which was 6.44. The aspects of political culture and civil freedom obtain the lowest score. The scores of political culture in Indonesia are only 5.00 and civil freedom is only 5.29.

Titi said that there were anomalies that occurred in 2024. Usually the years of democratic index elections generally increase. Because elections are an indicator of democracy operating procedurally. However, in 2024, this did not apply. In fact, that year, Indonesia continued to hold elections.

Titi considered this to be influenced by the implementation of dark elections. This is marked by the issue of the decision of constitutional cultures (MK) number 90 of 2023 concerning the rules of minimum age requirements for the president and the vice-president. This decision led the son of his 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), namely Gibran Rakabuming Raka to become the elected Indonesian vice-president, accompanied Prabowo Suubianto.

The 2024 election has become an anomaly, but it lowered the democratic index. This is inseparable from the dynasties policy and the politicization of rules / courts, said Titi.

The legal legal legal of the Faculty of Law of the University of Indonesia (FH UI) added that the professional fault of the elections in Indonesia is not only by manipulation of rules, but also voters and votes.

The manipulation of voters is carried out by intimidating, by influencing voters with money and / or social assistance, the politicization of the device and the distribution of disinformation.

Titi found that the biggest problem in the elections was the capture of power. According to Titi, the professional fault of the elections was carried out to maintain the status quo of the elite.

The elections are an opportunity to strengthen the concentration of power, he said.

The expert in constitutional law Bivitri Susanti also referred to the decline in the Indonesian democratic index. One of them, linked to civil freedom. Starting from freedom of opinion to religion and belief.

Bivitri explained that all these freedoms were right. With the status of the Republic, the State is obliged to provide these rights to all its citizens.

This right must be fulfilled, respected and protected. The law, the law of everyone. Whoever serves, respects and protects is the country, he said.

Meanwhile, researchers from the Institute of Social Studies University of Tartu Estonia Muhammad Okky Ibrohim underline the relationship of AI and the functions of journalist to cover the question of hate speech (hate speech).

Based on the results of his research, the regrouping of hate speech can involve religion, beliefs, races, ethnic groups and ethnic groups. In addition, hate statements can also involve physical ridiculous, sex and sexual orientation.

The level is divided into three levels. First of all, a level of light. Generally in the form of curses that focus on individuals. Second, average level. Usually, hatred speech at this level has led to conflicts to quarrels on social networks. Third, the level of weight, which is already a provocation.

Okky said journalists can take advantage of the open AI to check or ensure written sentences, whether or not they contain hatred speeches. This is important, since the role of journalists is very important on this subject.

The reason, said Okky, the impact of hatred speech is not to play games. Hat statements can be discrimination, can increase social conflicts. Then this can cause material losses and threaten lives. The severe level is the genocide, he explained.

The Wokshop gathered dozens of journalists and will continue on Sunday March 23, 2025 at 10:00 WIB. On the second day, there will be militants of the rights of women and political experts Siti Musdah Mulia and representatives of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as speakers.
