Hello! We’re back, this time for the final presidential debate. #jakpost #PresidentialDebate #IndonesiaVotes #DebatPilpres2019

Joko “Jokowi” Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin and their contenders Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno will debate on economy and social welfare, finance, investment, trade and industry. #jakpost #PresidentialDebate #IndonesiaVotes #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s opening statement: We are here to debate matters that are very important to this country, namely the economy, prosperity, investment, trade and industry. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s opening statement: In our view, this country is and has been going in the wrong direction for a long time. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s opening statement: Too much of Indonesia’s money is going outside the country, and deindustrialization is happening. While other countries are going through industrialization, we are going through deindustrialization. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s opening statement: Prabowo-Sandi has a strategy to change this. In our opinion, this country has strayed from its founding philosophy and does not have a development strategy. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s opening statement: Over these four-and-a-half years, Jusuf Kalla and I have fought hard to restore the nature of our national development. We do not only rely on economic growth but also equality. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s opening statement: Relying on economic growth alone will result in injustice. Therefore we are building infrastructure outside Java, in the form of special economic zones across the country. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandi’s opening statement: Prabowo-Sandi believes that by creating job opportunities and maintaining affordable prices, we will be victorious. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandi’s opening statement: During the eight months of campaigning, I have heard the complaints of mothers, millennials, farmers, fishermen, contract teachers and laborers. For all of them, the economy is the key topic. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s opening statement: We are fighting for the nation’s economic sovereignty. Natural resources that were previously owned by foreigners are now controlled by the state, for instance the Mahakam oil block and Freeport. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s opening statement: In terms of social welfare, we are promoting the Smart Indonesian Card to guarantee the education of our youth. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on the economy: For too long, our commodities have depended on the foreign market. It’s also been too long that we have exported raw materials, for rubber, palm oil, fisheries and other agricultural commodities. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on the economy: In the future, we will try to develop more downstream industries in fisheries, forestries and agriculture. We have to minimize our raw material exports and push for more downstream products. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on the economy: The youth have been developing the online ecosystem, if this is connected to the farmers, it could help them to reach the foreign market. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: This is where our economy is going in the wrong direction. Deindustrialization is happening and our government does not have a strategy. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: Pak Jokowi’s intentions may be good, but he has been in power for 4.5 years and he has allowed imports to continue. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: He has concentrated on infrastructure, but maybe all the infrastructure does is make it easier for goods to come in from overseas. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on the economy: The key is in entrepreneurship. I am certain that Prabowo-Sandi will provide strong leadership that sides with domestic traders and can provide legal certainty. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on the economy: Managing macroeconomy is different from managing microeconomy. The supply and demand is influenced by the government’s policies. Macroeconomy is the aggregate of all sectors. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on the economy: The infrastructure that we build will connect industrial areas. We cannot just start developing our industry by snapping our fingers. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on the economy: The first step is to build our infrastructure, the second is to build our human resources, the third is structural reform and the fourth is related to technology and innovation. This is what we are doing right now. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: To be honest, I do not blame Pak Jokowi. This is our mistake as a country, and it has been going on for decades. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: We should be like the People’s Republic of China, in 40 years they were able to eradicate poverty. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: I do not blame [Jokowi], we have been on the wrong path for a long time. We must return to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on the economy: This is a big mistake that was also made by all of our former presidents. That is my opinion. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on the economy: Thank you. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on social welfare: In my opinion, the role of women in our country is very important. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on social welfare: For example we have had a woman president, and during the campaign the role of mothers has been very big. So our laws should reflect their interests. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on social welfare: Two-thirds of a family’s economy is upheld by the role of women who start small businesses from their homes. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on social welfare: These awesome, independent women just want policies that are on their side. The OK OCE program is also dominated by women. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on social welfare: Our platform prioritizes gender equality. We are trying to give women space not only in the economy and politics, but also in the government. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on social welfare: We have provided the umi [mothers] with microloans, micro business and waqf banking at Islamic boarding schools. I know 100 percent that many mothers have felt that the programs help and they are proud. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on social welfare: We will build and continue these programs. In villages, we will create Dewi-Dewi [short for desa wisata or tourism village] and Dedi-Dedi [short for desa digital or digital village]. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on social welfare: The key is empowerment. I have worked with women in Jakarta and what they complain about the most is access to the markets. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on social welfare: We will also provide them with training because 80 percent of the women that fail when starting a new business, fail because they don’t have anyone to guide them. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on social welfare: Finally, we will also provide them with access to capital. Because these awesome and independent women pay back the loans they receive 99 percent of the time. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on social welfare: We will also create the Mekar loan program for women. In these past 4 years, we have 4.2 million customers and this year we are trying to have 10 million. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on social welfare: We also provide assistance for them, thus their business can be more productive and their income will increase. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on social welfare: In an Islamic boarding school, 90 percent of customers are women. We have run this assistance program over the past two years. We are certain that this will give greater financial independence to families. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on finance and investment: The KPK has said that our state income should be Rp 4 quadrillion but the actual income is only Rp 2 quadrillion. So there is a leakage of Rp 2 quadrillion. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on finance and investment: In 1997, our tax ratio was around 16 percent but now it has decreased to 10 percent, so we are losing around US$60 million per year. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on finance and investment: Using IT systems and computerization and improving transparency, I am sure we will be able to raise the tax ratio back to 16 percent. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on finance and investment: We will separate the state revenue body from the ministry of finance and it will report directly to the president. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on finance and investment: If we wish to increase the tax ratio from 10 to 16 percent in a year, 5 percent of our GDP, equal to Rp 750 trillion, will be converted into tax. This will result in a choked economy. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on finance and investment: That’s why we are increasing our tax ratio gradually, one of the ways is through tax amnesty. This is to increase our tax base. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on finance and investment: We actually have agencies for waqf and zakat. We are trying to develop financial waqf, not only in mosque property. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on finance and investment: I did not mean that we will increase the tax ratio to 16 percent within one year. We will also expand the tax base. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on finance and investment: We will improve the tax ratio by reducing the income tax rate, and the results will be directly felt by the people, because they will have more money in their pockets. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on finance and investment: In time, we will also be able to reduce the corporate tax rate so that we will be competitive with other countries, which will create more jobs. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on finance and investment: I only read in the media that [Prabowo and Sandi] are trying to make a big leap [in tax ratio] from 10 to 16 percent. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on finance and investment: If we consistently improve our taxation services, this will encourage people to comply and pay their taxes. One of such services is the e-filing system. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on finance and investment: On zakat, our zakat agencies should not only receive funds but also take funds [from the people]. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on sharia economy: First we have created the National Committee on Islamic Finance to develop Islamic Finance and make Indonesia the center of Islamic finance in the world. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on sharia economy: Aside from the agencies, we also encourage the development of the products. We want to stimulate the halal industry not only domestically but also internationally. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on sharia economy: As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, we have a lot of potential in Islamic finance. Indonesia has also recently been recognized as one of the top destinations in halal tourism. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on sharia economy: We will open a halal park near Gelora Bung Karno sports complex. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on sharia economy: In the Global Islamic Economic Index, Indonesia is only ranked 10th, even though we have the largest Muslim population in the world. We should be able to do better. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on sharia economy: The key is creating an ecosystem, not just sharia finance but a comprehensive sharia economy. We already have halal products that have export potential, so we should not be flooded by imports. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on sharia economy: The potential of halal tourism is a big opportunity that we should take advantage of, we should not just be a market, we should also be able to supply. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on sharia economy: Actually we have long-developed our sharia economy and the halal industry. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on sharia economy: Our sukuk (Islamic bond) is one of the biggest in the world, so we are trying to make our Islamic banking one of the biggest in the world, as well as our insurance and capital market. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf on sharia economy: We are trying to accelerate development with the creation of the Islamic Finance Agency. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi on sharia economy: We will focus on our halal tourism, which has been recognized as the number one in the world. Last week we inaugurated a halal park in Jakarta and soon there will be a district. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on sharia economy: Haj funds have a huge amount of economic potential, but there have been doubts about whether they are being managed well. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo on sharia economy: So we will create a haj fund bank to ensure that the potential is managed well, in a modern way, according to sharia, efficiently and transparently to ensure that it really benefits the people. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga on sharia economy: As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, we should create sharia financial institutions. Why isn’t Jakarta the center of sharia finance? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: What are you going to do regarding the development of the digital economy, in particular e-sports and Mobile Legends game? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo points to Sandiaga. Sandiaga (in English): Do you want to test your vice president? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: E-sports is one of the sectors that is developing together with the digital economy. We have the opportunity to create products. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: These young people are very impressive. I call this the POP generation, productive, optimistic and positive. The government should act to facilitate them, because it is very hard to regulate this fast-changing industry. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: But we should also ensure that e-sports doesn’t affect the future generations’ manners and character. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: As the government, we have to be responsive to global changes. New products enter our market quickly, from the internet of things to big data and cryptocurrency. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: The youth are now trying to build a career in the e-sports industry. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: That is why the government is building the infrastructure for high-speed internet so young people can play comfortably. The second is to build an ecosystem for the youth to develop the game industry. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: This is a great opportunity to develop the game industry in Indonesia. In 2017, the game industry was worth Rp 11 to 12 trillion with growth of 25 to 30 percent. We should not miss this opportunity. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Jokowi: I will focus my policies on basic things that will answer the people’s need for food. I will improve agricultural production and protect the lives and income of farmers, fishermen, contract teachers and laborers. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Jokowi: Digital things are good but what is important for the people is food self-sufficiency and reducing food prices. The people are facing hardship. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: These young people can also use digital technology to improve our agricultural sector. We should also aspire to export food. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: We appreciate your focus on the digital economy but in our view, the cards you offer such as the pre-employment card and the staple food card do not really take advantage of digital technology. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: We offer one card that is all-powerful, which is the e-ID card that can solve all those problems. But that is not my question. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: My question is regarding the trade balance. Right now we have a trade deficit of US$8 billion. Our trade deficit with China is US$18 billion. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: We are proud of our digital economy, our unicorns you have mentioned before, but we are still being flooded by imports. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: What is your strategy to reverse our trade deficit so that we can go back to our glory days, when we used to be exporters, not importers? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: In 2018, our trade balance suffered a deficit of US$8 billion. However, in the first quarter of 2019, we have shrunk our deficit to US$6.7 billion, which means that our efforts are not in vain. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: What we are going to continue is pushing import substitute products. We are also developing downstream industries, for instance in the petrochemical industry. We have built refineries so that we can reduce our deficit. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: The key is to build domestic industries. We are also creating policies to push our exports, for instance our policies on local component requirement. Again, we need time for this. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: All the mothers that I meet complain about energy prices, they always say that electricity prices are going up, and that staple food prices are going up. We should develop food self-sufficiency. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: Prabowo-Sandi will bring down electricity and staple food prices without creating new cards. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: We have implemented the use of biofuel, with the B20, which we will increase to B50 and then B100. We have tried to limit our imports. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: Again, this is macroeconomy. Your case examples are irrelevant, that is microeconomy. Macroeconomy, again, is an aggregate of all supply and demand. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: It is impossible to formulate policies based on one or two people who tell you about their hardships. Macroeconomy does not work like that. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: First I would like to apologize to Pak Jokowi, because Ibu Mia and Ibu Nurjanah are people that I have really met and in the aggregate mothers are all complaining about rising staple food prices. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: Maybe on paper all the numbers look good, but that is not what I see on the ground. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: My question is regarding state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Our SOEs are at risk. Many SOE employees are anxious and confused. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: SOE unions come to us saying that SOEs are being politicized. So what is your strategy to turn SOEs into world-class companies? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: In the future, we will build SOE holdings from construction to oil and gas to agriculture and forestries to trade etc. There will be super-holding companies. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: Our SOEs should get out of the country to build connections & network to increase capital and business. Our construction companies have carried out projects in the Middle East, we have also exported trains to Bangladesh. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Sandiaga: If we have done all this, we can truly create Indonesia, Incorporated. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Jokowi: Pak Jokowi, do you understand what is happening to our SOEs? Our SOEs are the last bastion of our economy, but now we see that that fortress is faltering. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Jokowi: For example, Bloomberg conducted a study about airline break-even points and showing that Garuda can only make a profit if it sells 120% of its capacity. So how can it make a profit? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Jokowi: What is the point of creating more holding companies if the existing holding companies are not being managed well? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Jokowi: Pertamina and other SOEs that should be world champions have now fallen, with unclear futures, and are always being defeated by foreign companies. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: Tomorrow, you can check the contribution of our SOEs to the state budget. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: We know that the Rohan and Mahakam blocks have been taken over by our SOEs, as well as Freeport. This shows that our SOEs are capable of doing business. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: We should not see all things through a pessimistic lens. There is no developed country that has a pessimistic view. There are challenges, but we can fix that. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: I don’t want to talk about the history of SOEs, some of which have been mismanaged in the past. I don’t want to bring up their past mistakes. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf to Prabowo: The 1 percent control a huge portion of the economy, probably Pak Prabowo and Pak Sandi are included. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf to Prabowo: Under Jokowi, economic inequality decreased, as proven through our Gini coefficient of 6.38. We also have the lowest unemployment in history, great social welfare programs and land certification. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf to Prabowo: What is your program to reduce economic inequality? #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Ma’ruf: I always say that I am part of the 1 percent, I’ve never tried to hide it. I am part of the 1 percent that understands my responsibility to this country. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Ma’ruf: I am ready to give up not only my wealth, but even my life for this country. So you don’t have to bring that up. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Ma’ruf: To reduce economic inequality, the most important thing is creating jobs, improving productivity and investing heavily in education and health. We have to intervene, when children are hungry we should feed them. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo to Ma’ruf: For example, Governor Anies has already done this in Jakarta, providing milk for children. We will provide breakfast in elementary schools. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: Through infrastructure, new economic centers will be created in the region -- that is one way we are making efforts to reduce inequality. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: Second, we have the village fund program. Up to 2019, we have transferred Rp 257 trillion to 74,900 villages from Sabang to Merauke. This is also for economic equality. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: The village fund is used to buy materials for villages, and all construction projects are done by people from the villages so that the money stays there. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: Third, we have a program for family welfare, so that poor people can ensure that their children eat nutritious food, go to school and have access to health care when they are sick. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi to Prabowo: Our Smart Indonesia Card also ensures that all children can receive education. Fertilizer subsidy is also a form of our economic equality program. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: In my experience in Jakarta, the hardest thing about eradicating poverty is getting verifiable data. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: With a national big data program, with our e-ID cards, we will be able to know where the poverty is, and we can aim the right programs at it. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: The key is food prices, when food prices go down, the poverty rate will also go down. Prabowo-Sandi also commits to creating 15 million new jobs. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga to Jokowi: We also aim to create 2 million new businesses with OK OCE, and we will also reduce youth unemployment by using link and match. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf’s closing statement: We are certain that economic development and social welfare will happen through infrastructure and human resources development. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf’s closing statement: We began our structural reform in 1998, but the more substantial reform has happened since 2014 under Jokowi and Jusuf Kalla. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf’s closing statement: Through economic policies and development, Indonesia has received investment grade. We have also developed a social aid system and safety net for social welfare. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf’s closing statement: Our work is not done, and therefore we will continue the efforts toward “Onward Indonesia”. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Ma’ruf’s closing statement: If we are given the trust and mandate to lead the nation, we will do it well. We are confident because we understand the challenges faced by this nation and because we have experience. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s closing statement: To become a great nation is to face great challenges. Single-digit poverty is one thing we have to be grateful for. We should not be afraid of challenges and hardships. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s closing statement: It is not difficulties which result in fears, oftentimes it is fear which results in difficulties. Don’t be pessimistic. Don’t give up. Be optimistic. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s closing statement: I want to invite the people of Indonesia to ask your friends and families to go to the polls together on April 17 to use your voting rights. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Jokowi’s closing statement: Kyai Ma’ruf Amin and I will guarantee that the friendship between us and Prabowo-Sandi will never break. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga’s closing statement: We are very thankful to the people of Indonesia for all their support, so we are committed to not accepting even one rupiah in salary, we will give it to the state and to the poor. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga’s closing statement: It is time to make the best choice for the future of our children and grandchildren. Go to the polling stations and vote for Prabowo-Sandi! #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Sandiaga holds up a ballot paper. Sandiaga’s closing statement: If you want affordable staple food prices, vote for Prabowo-Sandi. If you want imports during harvest season to stop, vote for Prabowo Sandi on April 17. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s closing statement: The campaign is almost over so I want to thank all the groups that have supported us because we are a movement of the people. We also thank all the coalition parties, and especially the ulema that we respect. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s closing statement: We will also adhere to the integrity pact that we signed together with the consensus of the ulema. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019

Prabowo’s closing statement: We also thank the mothers and volunteers that donated money to us because we are not able to give money to our supporters. #PresidentialDebate #DebatPilpres2019
