'Young People Need Space For Expression, Not Repression'
The old barriers based on race and religion must be anticipated so that they do not re-develop into the dominant current.
The real contributions of young people to nation building must be higher, so that the sense of the Indonesian nation is stronger in people's lives.
Fifth, young people must dare to appear as communication bridges and catalysts if conflicts and contradictions arise in the community.
"Young people are the glue that holds our plurality together, so there is no conflict that will lead to the division of the nation. This is one way to maintain the existence of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia with Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," the statement reads. (esy/mcr20/jpnn)
