"My father was once the chairman of the Indonesian Socialist Party. The old version of the PSI, the Indonesian Socialist Party, now has a successor, the Indonesian Solidarity Party," said the former defense minister.

Meanwhile, Jokowi attended the national message session at the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Congress at Graha Saba Buana Solo, Central Java, on Saturday, July 19, 2025. 

So, what did Prabowo, Jokowi, and Kaesang convey at the PSI Congress? 

Points of Prabowo's Speech 

1. Refuting the Dark Indonesia 

Prabowo denied the pessimistic narrative of a dark Indonesia that had been circulating for some time. He stated that the national development process is currently on the right track. He stated that investment achievements have exceeded expectations, and poverty and unemployment rates have decreased. The hashtag "dark Indonesia" itself was used by netizens to highlight various problems during the first 100 days of the Prabowo-Gibran administration. Prabowo accused corruptors of paying the masses for demonstrations titled "Dark Indonesia" and "Just Run Away First." "They want Indonesia to always be chaotic, Indonesia to always be poor," said President Soeharto's former son-in-law. 

2. Greedynomics 

Prabowo's concern is the overly greedy management of state assets, which he calls "greedynomics." The concept of greedynomics is greedy behavior that no longer respects morals, the law, or the interests of the nation. 

According to him, many groups are not pro-people, threatening the constitution. Prabowo believes that Indonesia has extraordinary resources, but many still act like "thieves." He said many are not deterred despite repeated warnings. "This greedy economics is over; it's not in books, it's not in economics universities like this. This is the science of greed," he said.
