This latest work program carries the theme “Political Problems of Ideology and Constitutional Law during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Pros and Cons of the HIP Bill”.
This discussion presented speakers I Wayan Budiarta, S.Pd., M.Pd., and Putu Ronny Angga Mahendra, S.Pd., M.Pd., Head of the Department of Law and Citizenship Dr. Dewa Gede Sudika Mangku, S.H., LL.M., who opened and closed the activity, appreciated the implementation of this activity for providing students with a new way of understanding amid the Covid-19 pandemic. “In various lines of life affected by a prolonged pandemic. However, the intention of HMJ Law and Citizenship did not subside to share knowledge with all students through this general discussion through the Google Meet application. We really appreciate this,” he explained.
In this general discussion activity, they discussed hot issues that appeared as if they were trying to cover up a pandemic phenomenon that is currently hitting Indonesia. A draft of the Draft Law entitled Pancasila Ideology Direction became a hot debate among all circles of society elite politics to the lower classes of society. The trigger for this problem stems from a number of things that are considered inappropriate and have the potential to cause problems due to the launch of the draft Pancasila Ideology Direction Bill. In that discussion, it was assessed that there were several problems. First, as we all know that Pancasila is the source of all sources of law in Indonesia to date. With the draft to make a Law on the Pancasila Ideology Direction, it will cause the position of Pancasila to be under Pancasila.
Second, the absence of TAP MPRS NO.XXV/1966 concerning the dissolution of the Indonesian Communist Party, the statement that the Indonesian Communist Party is a banned organization throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia and the prohibition of any activity to spread or develop Communist/Marxism-Leninism ideas or teachings in the consideration of the draft Pancasila Ideology Draft Law is impressed and very likely will open up opportunities for Communist organizations to revive in Indonesia.
Thirdly, the drafting of the Pancasila Ideological Policy Draft Law which is basically intended as a policy or to direct will create chaos in the order of state-order norms. Fourth, as it is known, article 7 of the draft Law on the Ideological Guidelines of Pancasila, consists of 3 verses, in which verse 2 and verse 3 are currently in the public spotlight. Fifth, Pancasila, which has become the source of all legal sources in Indonesia until now, is certainly not suitable if Pancasila is reduced to a Law. Don’t let Pancasila, whose purpose is to unite Indonesian society, turn into a divisive one for Indonesian society. (rls)
