Jakarta Floods and NasDem’s Support to Anies Baswedan

Summary

NasDem party is continuously opposing President Joko Widodo’s policies lately. Last year, its higher-ups’ meeting with the opposition party, Prosperous Justice Party, drew a lot of criticisms and cynicism, even the president at one point poked fun at it. Recently, Nasdem’s politicians hit back at the current administration by vividly criticizing it about the Jakarta floods.
