Abstract

The ratification of UU Cipta Kerja has split Indonesian society between the pros and cons of the Law. Many politicians convey their rhetoric and discourse to the public through various forms of media. There are two interesting political views, namely the views of Agus Harimurti Yudoyono (Chairman of the Democratic Party) and Airlangga Hartarto (Chairman of the Golkar Party). Both represent groups who are for and against the passage of this law. The researcher is interested in exploring how the discourse developed by the two national political figures using Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis which is part of the qualitative research method. The results show that both political figures on both sides build the impression that they are on the side of the people. Both parties act on behalf of the people’s interests by claiming to be the parties who defend people and involved in the “war on people’s welfare” through their political views in the media. So, the researchers suggest to the public that intelligent people “read” the political messages of politicians and do not let the people only be used for the interests of politicians.
