Joko Widodo) on the official speech at the Regional Representative Council on 14 August 2015. The National Movement of the Mental Revolution becomes a new life movement which is capable to change the way of thinking, work and attitude and behavior of better Indonesian citizens based on the values of State Ideology (Pancasila) and the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia. The National Movement of the Mental Revolution becomes a breakthrough movement that obstructs the way of thinking, the workings and a life-oriented way of life for a sovereign, self-reliant nation and state in developing future Indonesia. This study is the result of FGD (Focus Group Discussion) with community leaders in Aceh, involving Academian/education figures, religious leaders, cultural figures/artists, youth leaders, women figures, political figures/representatives of political parties, dissident figures, media figures/press, and netizens.
