Jokowi's Ministers Compactly Respond to Anies' Spicy Criticism

Jokowi's Ministers Compactly Respond to Anies' Spicy Criticism Presidential candidate (candidate) Anies Baswedan recently criticized the government for subsidizing electric vehicles. According to him, this electric car subsidy is not the right solution to deal with air pollution, it actually adds to congestion.  Quoted from detikNews, Anies Baswedan assessed that subsidizing electric cars is not a solution to address air pollution problems.  "As for air pollution, the solution does not lie in subsidies for electric cars. Electric car owners are those who do not need subsidies," said Anies at the Indonesian Mandate Declaration (ANIES) event at Tennis Indoor Senayan, Sunday (7/5). .  "We are facing environmental challenges. The government must ensure that the resources provided by the government for its people are the right resources," he continued.  Furthermore, according to him, electric vehicles do not replace the cars that people already have.
