00:04 In the hearing on October 16,

00:07 the Constitutional Court decided to reject the request of the Indonesian Solidarity Party

00:11 which proposed a change of age limit of the Minimum Cha Press-Cawapres to 35 years.

00:17 At the hearing, LBH-PSI Director Francine Widjojo said she was disappointed with the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

00:25 According to her, PSI will fight for a revision of the Constitutional Court's Minimum Cha Press-Cawapres age limit through the Parliament.

00:33 Because of that, PSI hopes to be able to get a seat in the 2024 Constitutional Court.

00:39 Psychologically, the age category is 35 to 40 years old, but the same age.

00:48 So, we actually see this as discrimination of age groups.

00:52 But unfortunately, we cannot give more details, but it's okay.

00:56 We can fight in a different way.

00:58 Including, PSI will enter the Parliament.

01:02 In the opinion of the Parliament,

01:05 it was said that people who have passed the age limit

01:11 can have a seat in the Constitutional Court because they are considered to be a major.

01:17 They have been elected by the people, so it will be easier for them to get a seat.

01:22 So, we will be a fighting position for Indonesian youth.

01:29 PSI proposed a revision of Article 169 of the Law No. 7 of 2017 on the Minimum Age Cha Press-Cawapres.

01:39 However, the ruling led by the Chairperson of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Anwar Usman, decided to reject the request of all applicants.

01:45 It was noted from nine judges involved in the decision, two of them had different opinions.

01:51 From Jakarta, Rina Anggraini, Aloisius Lewokeda, Kantor Berita Antara, reported.

01:57 This is all for today. Thank you.
