Rizieq: 2019 Political Plots And Jokowi
Harian Press. Rizieq Shihab for the umpteenth time failed to return to Indonesia. But the drama welcomed his return, took great success. The dormitory, which had taken place a few days earlier, received the broad media attention.
Many of his supporters attended the dawn event in congregation in welcoming Rizieq at the Jami Baitul Amal Mosque, Cengkareng, West Jakarta. The police were made a little frantic. Officials with a number not prepared at a number of points, especially at Soekarno Hatta Airport.
The Rizieq fanfare ends anticlimactically. But his supporters did not feel the slightest bit disappointed. They only have to delay their longing to meet Rizieq.
In other parts, some people who did not like Rizieq were also relieved, of course for different reasons than those of Rizieq supporters.
"(There he is) Just made a problem. Another demo, another raid, another hoax," said my friend Jokowi supporters who did not like Rizieq, who later liked to read and spread the status of 'celebrity social media' like Denny Siregar.
Rizieq is indeed a controversial figure. It's difficult for people to be neutral when dealing with themselves. Usually, there are only two choices: hate or support Rizieq.
Rizieq has its own characteristics.

His voice was loud when giving speeches, his assertiveness, and his criticisms - as bad as the quality of his criticism of the government, as an oasis for some people who had long felt dissatisfied with Jokowi.
Rizieq, in other words, has become a channel for some people to channel their dissatisfaction with the government, amid the sterility of political maneuvers from opposition parties.
With all the attributes and roles mentioned above, Rizieq has no doubt been transformed into one of the calculated nonpartisan opposition figures.
Various ways and gaps to 'silence' Rizieq. Starting from the case of utterances of hatred, insult to the emblem of the state, to alleged lewd conversations with Firza Husein.
The government, in this case the police, did indeed succeed in silencing Rizieq. At least successfully forced the priest to leave to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, the success was temporary, prone to politicization, and could even lead to 'political catastrophe' for the sustainability of Jokowi's government in the 2019 Presidential Election.
Unifying symbol
The government seems ignorant that politically, Rizieq has become a unifying symbol of the opposition groups, both elite and grassroots.
At the elite level, Rizieq managed to strengthen the ties of 212 alumni groups with opposition parties. While at the grassroots level, people who are not satisfied with Jokowi continue to wait for their return to be able to have a violent opposition figure.
In this situation, do not be surprised if the issue of Rizieq's return, which has been rolling for the umpteenth time, is often under the spotlight.
The issue of Rizieq's return was slow but sure, it had become a political commodity. One of them is to close the opposition ranks at the elite and grassroots level. Thus, this issue can be rolled out at any time in accordance with the current political situation.
However, Rizieq's return in the near future will only be a meaningless political suicide. He will be prosecuted immediately, maybe also jailed.
In the worst calculation, the imprisonment of Rizieq at a moment far from the event of the 2019 Presidential Election would certainly harm him and especially the opposition group.
Rizieq who was in jail too early would make it difficult for the opposition to maintain mass political sentiment that was not satisfied with Jokowi. This Rizieq issue is prone to expand overwritten by other issues that come and go.
And if politics is a matter of calculation and momentum, then the 2019 Presidential Election event is the most appropriate moment for Rizieq to return to Indonesia.
At that time, Rizieq's return would trigger political turmoil for the ruling government.
