FormAppi -Criticism on the PDIP Legislature leaves candidates for MK reviewers not the DPR

Jakarta -The Indonesian Parliament Careing Community Forum (Formappi) highlighted the statement of the House of Representatives Commission III member of the PDIP Safaruddin faction that asked the candidates for the Constitutional Court (MK) inectentius Samsul not to hit the DPR later. Lucius Karus, researcher from Formappi, assessed that the statement was an embarrassment. “Safaruddin’s statement before the prospective constitutional judge, Inosentius was very embarrassing. This statement is like dissolving a thick blanket that closes the DPR’s mission to the election of a constitutional judge this time,” Lucius told reporters on Thursday (8/21/2025). Lucius referred to the prospective judge of the Constitutional Court substitute Arief Hidayat, who did a suitable and proper test (fit and proper test), only followed by Inosentius. According to him, the selection process for the single candidate implies the interests of the DPR in the Constitutional Court. Browse to continue with the content “Candidates are only one. Fit and properly only only formalities, only small talks. The DPR decided that the MK judges were suitable and properly elected. And the immediate process of the DPR style looks like this is encouraged by the desire the elected MK judges should bring and defend the interests of the DPR,” Lucius said. “Since the Constitutional Court will almost always test the law on the House of Representatives, it is quite possible that the DPR feels harmed as a legislature,” he added. Lucius regretted the statement by members of the council when he made a variety of prospective constitutional judges. “It is a pity that prospective MK judges are really good. If the DPR makes such a message, then good people who want to be the Judge of the Constitutional Court are trapped between the will of a good person or the compromise of positions,” he said. Safaruddin previously reported, and reminded Inosentius as a prospective MK judge not to forget its origin as the choice of parliament. Safaruddin said that the Judge of the Constitutional Court should hold the foundation. It was transferred by Safaruddin when he asked Inosentius who underwent a suitable and proper test in the House of Representatives Commission III meeting room, the parliamentary complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday (8/20). Safaruddin reminded that Inosentius was elected from the DPR as a candidate for constitutional judges. “Since we choose from the DPR, usually, sir, if we fit here, we will fight here for the DPR’s envoy. But after I got there (MK), I forgot that the father was chosen from the DPR,” Safaruddin said. “I mean, you have a strong confidence, determination, not to defend in the DPR, but you don’t forget that you are elected from the DPR, don’t return to hit the DPR, sir,” he said.
