Beberapa tahun belakangan ini, aksi-aksi protes Gerakan Sosial di Indonesia bermunculan, tak terkecuali kaum muda. Mereka secara aktif mengkampanyekan satu sikap politik: MOSI TIDAK PERCAYA terhadap kekuasaan negara, baik eksekutif maupun legislatif. Pada medio 2019, kekuasaan memaksa pengesahan revisi UU KPK, yang mengabaikan segala usulan, protes dan aksi-aksi warga. Di kota besar maupun kecil, kaum muda–utamanya mahasiswa bersama dengan kaum buruh di kota-kota industri melakukan aksi-aksi demonstrasi. Awalnya adalah protes terhadap revisi UU KPK, namun kemudian berkembang menjadi protes #ReformasiDikorupsi dan kemudian menjadi gerakan #MosiTidakPercaya Seruan mosi tak percaya menyebar dengan cepat dalam aksi-aksi protes di berbagai wilayah. Bahkan secara tegas gerakan mahasiswa yang direpresentasikan oleh BEM UI menyampaikan secara terbuka di hadapan anggota-anggota DPR RI, pada aksi 24 September 2019 lalu. Kendati begitu, ada paradoks di dalam gerakan sosial. Sementara kampanye mosi tidak percaya sudah diserukan BEM UI, di saat yang sama sebagian kelompok yang dipimpin oleh KNPA, justru melakukan uadiensi dengan pihak Istana Negara pada tanggal yang sama. Padahal aksi-aksi protes sedang memanas. Bahkan di luar Jakarta pun, eskalasi massa merebak-membara di banyak tempat. Pada periode ini juga, Papua bergejolak dalam protes anti rasisme. Kilas balik momentum gerakan di tahun 2019. Melansir laporan Tirto.id, Yayasan Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Indonesia (YLBHI) mengungkap 78 kasus pelanggaran dalam unjuk rasa sepanjang 2019 di seluruh Indonesia. Dari kasus itu, 51 orang tewas, dan 44 orang di antaranya tewas misterius. "Dari 51 [orang], 7 orang saja yang jelas informasinya meninggal kenapa sedangkan 44 korban lainnya tidak ada informasi resmi. Dalam konteks hak asasi manusia ini sangat berbahaya. Mengerikan," kata Ketua Advokasi YLBHI Muhammad Isnur di kantornya pada Minggu (27/10/2019). Kawah #MosiTidakPercaya semakin memanas dan meluas. Lalu datang badai Omnibus Law menerjang semua tata krama yang dibuat oleh oligarki itu sendiri, menabrak trias politika yang mereka agungkan dan tentu saja meludahi semua protes-protes rakyat. #MosiTidakPercaya bergaung dimana-mana, menjadi penyatu gerakan protes. Kemana panah #MosiTidakPercaya diarahkan? #GejayanMemanggil memberikan arah yakni satu-satunya front Gerakan yang menjawab ke mana arah #MosiTidakPercaya. Aksi 8 Oktober 2020, pecah di Malioboro. Massa menuntut turunkan Jokowi, bubarkan DPR dan bentuk Dewan Rakyat. Namun selang beberapa hari, #GejayanMemanggil sontak mencoret tuntutan turunkan Jokowi dan Bubarkan DPR. Kini, Jokowi yang sama sudah mengeluarkan Perppu Cilaka, dan DPR yang sama, akan memutuskan apakah Perppu ini jadi UU atau tidak. Di kota-kota lainnya, sekalipun protes jalanan bahkan berlangsung dengan keras–bentrokan dengan aparat kerap terjadi, namun secara politis, tak ada tuntutan yang secara jelas menjawab ke mana arah mosi tidak percaya. Narasi historis ini mendorong kita untuk mengajukan soal dan mencari jawaban bersama-sama. Kepada siapa sebenarnya #MosiTidakPercaya itu diarahkan? Kalau sudah tak lagi percaya, lantas mau apa, apakah tuntutan: Turunkan pemerintahan Jokowi-Bubarkan DPR serta bentuk Dewan Rakyat adalah jawabnya–ketika atmosfer ketidakpercayaan pada rezim ini mulai meluas. Ataukah #MosiTakPecaya hanya menyasar sebagian elit—toh ada yang menganggap Jokowi baik, sekitarnya yang jahat. Akan banyak tanya dalam diskusi nanti. Narasumber Untuk itu, bukanBasBasi mengundang 3 kawan yang akan mengisi talkshow bukanBasaBasi Angga: Mantan Ketua Senat Ekonomi UNHAS Syamsuddin Wahid: Konsorsium Pembaruan Agraria Arip Yogiawan: Trend Asia Adi: Wahli Jogja
