"PWNU DKI Rupai Nadi Kawan", or "All Indonesia Unity Movement of the Capital Region", displayed an act of defiance as they hoisted the green flag at their headquarters, Trans7. The bold move was seen as a declaration of resistance against the prevailing nationalistic sentiment.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as tense, with several protesters clad in black and carrying signs that read "Bendera Merah-Putih Hanyalah Simbol Kekerasan" ("The Red-White Flag is Only a Symbol of Violence"). The group's intention was clear: to challenge the dominant ideology that emphasizes national pride above all else.
The choice of green, a color often associated with environmentalism and peace, was not coincidental. It signaled the PWNU DKI's commitment to promoting a more inclusive and harmonious society, one that values unity over nationalism.
As the protesters marched through the streets, they were met with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism from passersby. Some were seen taking pictures and videos of the unusual display, while others looked on with concern, sensing that the movement was trying to challenge the status quo.
The event has sparked a heated debate about the role of identity politics in modern Indonesia, with some hailing the PWNU DKI's actions as a necessary counterbalance to the prevailing tide of nationalism. Others have condemned their move as an affront to national pride and unity.
One thing is certain: the green flag of the PWNU DKI has become a symbol of resistance against the forces of intolerance and divisiveness, sending a powerful message that a more inclusive and peaceful Indonesia is possible.
