The ballad of image-selling props

Foreign smile faces are accompanied by sequence numbers and political party logos that are crossed in toddlers to the banner, such as never circus from eye views. Since 28 November 2023 to 10 February 2024 was set by the General Selection Commission (KPU) as a campaign period for the 2024. Thousands of potential legislative faces such as being left the place to catalyse the image through the medium of campaign props (APK).

The sudden phenomena of the marak APK appears a 2024 silhouette that struck a memory about a young man called Narkissos on the Greek mythology story. Narkissos during his life is only in the presence of a pond that reflects the image of himself who then makes it indifferent with people around him to the death of picking it.

Not much different with Narkissos, the contestants of the elections are raced displaying the existence of the image without devoting public order. The voluntary election contestants violate the General Selection Commission Regulation No. 15 Year 2023 on the General Selection Campaign Article 71 (1) which prohibits the installation of the APK in the event that the face can be crossed in strategic locations such as road guards to trees that then cause a number of traffic accidents and damage the aesthetics of the environment.

The dream of the climbing contestant with Narkissos can also be seen from the dominant of propaga tools that only load the face photos of minim contestants with ideas and visions. It is certainly less effective because it does not provide idea information to the prospective voters to have reasons to determine the choice.

Therefore, the contestant of the elections that summarize its great idea to build the country is not as simple as installing the APK that displays their face. Because it does not close the possibility of the installation of the past that aims to introduce the self image is actually a bumerang so that the prospective voters choose when the election on February 14, 2024.
