The action of the Student Executive Board (BEM) of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in criticizing the administration of President Joko Widodo or Jokowi has resulted in a series of terror. On Friday, December 8, 2023, BEM UGM held an open stage accompanied by the installation of a large billboard with a picture of President Jokowi with the title 'Jokowi is the Most Embarrassing Alumnus' installed at the UGM Roundabout.

The action also drew pros and cons, especially on social media. Chairman of BEM UGM Gielbran Muhammad Noor, who led the action, admitted that he was intimidated. "The harshest form of intimidation was when an individual claiming to be an intelligence officer came to my faculty a few days ago. He went to the dean's office to ask for my biodata," said Gielbran on Friday, December 15, 2023.

The Faculty of Animal Science UGM student continued, the person claiming to be intel did not include a letter of duty from their institution. "Because he did not bring a permit, my data was not given by the dean's office," said Gielbran.

Gielbran said that another form of terror or intimidation that he directly observed was the doxing of his family through social media. In addition, there was also a poster leaflet that cornered Gielbran, narrating that his action was ridden by political interests.

The poster was circulating in an area of Sleman Regency. The content of the poster accuses Gielbran's parents of being legislative candidates or candidates for political parties that are at odds with the Jokowi government.

He emphasized that his parents were not affiliated with any party. He also chose to be relaxed about the anonymous issue. "We deplore such acts of intimidation. Intimidation will not make us afraid to speak out," said Gielbran.

Despite the intimidation, Gielbran admitted that he also received quite a lot of moral support from various parties, especially from students and lecturers at UGM.

Gielbran said, the action carried out with BEM UGM so far is a pure movement to criticize President Jokowi's leadership which is considered increasingly deviant. For example, starting from the emergence of controversial decisions in the Constitutional Court or MK about the age limit for presidential and vice-presidential candidates, the weakening of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), and policies that are not pro-people such as the Job Creation Law.

"The movement we are doing is to spark other student movements to be more sensitive and objective in seeing the problems that are happening in this country," said Gielbran.
