Compliance with the Law

Hasto emphasized that PDIP is a party that upholds the supremacy of the law. He also touched upon his previous criticisms regarding the need to uphold democracy. "PDIP is a party that upholds the supremacy of the law. From the start, when I criticized how democracy should be upheld, how the voice of the people cannot be ignored, how the rule of law cannot be turned off, and how authoritarian power that oppresses its people must be stopped," he said.
He added, "I understand the various risks I will face."
