Vice Presidential Candidate (cawapres) number one, Muhaimin Iskandar, cited National Strategic Projects (PSN) as one of the causes of agrarian conflicts.
This statement was made by Muhaimin in response to a question regarding the seizure of customary lands leading to the criminalization of indigenous communities, during the fourth series of the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate themed, "Sustainable Development, Natural Resources, Environment, Energy, Food, Agrarian, Indigenous Communities and Villages," at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, Sunday (21/1/2024).
"One of our efforts to prevent conflicts between national development projects, especially PSN, and indigenous communities, is that we must truly have the principle of leaving no one behind in decision-making and involving indigenous communities," he said.
According to data from the Agrarian Reform Consortium (KPA), cited from the 2023 Annual Agrarian Report, there were at least 115 agrarian conflicts caused by PSN between 2020 and 2023.
The surge in agrarian conflicts due to PSN development in 2023 was the highest, with 42 conflicts. This number increased from the previous year, which recorded 16 conflicts.
