A Lot of Polemic Atta-Aurel's Luxurious Marriage In The Middle of Covid-19

On April 3, Youtuber as well as famous artists Atta Halilintar and Aurel Hermasyah held a magnificent wedding in the midst of an atmosphere of Covid-19 attacking Indonesia with many victims and the economic disparity of the Indonesian people. It did not stop there, the magnificent wedding was attended by President Joko Widodo along with his wife and Minister of Defense of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto. This eventually led to a polemic in the midst of Indonesian society.

Indonesia is currently being hit by the massive Covid-19 disaster which is still a major problem for the community where Covid-19 destroys various aspects ranging from educational to financial aspects. 

By being broadcast on a large scale via television and the YouTube platform into a very luxurious splendor that is predicted to cost billions of rupiah for a wedding, of course this is not something that should be done by a public figure because it can make people who are financially incapacitated to be sad. Because of the impact of Covid-19. Indeed, it is everyone's right to do whatever they want, but in the midst of the Covid-19 atmosphere which is increasingly choking the Indonesian people, of course this has caused a polemic.

The presence of President Joko Widodo along with his wife and Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto to witness the marriage contract of Atta Halilintar and Aurel Hermasyah also generated contra among the community. This is because the status carried is president and minister of defense. It is a bit unfavorable if those who make regulations about Covid-19 start from prohibiting homecoming to prohibiting crowds attending events that invite crowds. 

Regardless of an invitation or not, regardless of kinship, regardless of whether one of the married families is the DPR. Still, the president should portray a high level of adherence to regulations made so that people do the same so that the Covid-19 disaster ends quickly. Of course, this eventually becomes a thought for Indonesian people who are limited in their activities, but those who have popularity get something that is rather special.

Unequal justice between marriage and restrictions on the activities of ordinary people. Indeed, the wedding ceremony is a private event at its own expense and by applying the applicable protocol. However, on the other hand, many community activities are restricted for fear of causing crowds. There was no public unrest, before when the Covid-19 case had not soared as now every wedding party was dissolved on the grounds of Covid-19. 

However, the Atta-Aurel wedding illustrates another scene. Quoted from Goggle's Covid-19 data, he said there were 1.5 million cases of Covid-19 but the marriage was still lavish and festive even attended by the leaders of this country.

Marriage is indeed a very happy day for every couple. However, in the midst of the Covid-19 situation, many should be covered up in honor of those who are at the bottom to fight for a life. Since Covid-19 hit Indonesia, almost every level of society has felt a tremendous impact, from the educational to financial aspects.

So, with Atta-Aurel having a wedding that cost billions should be closed. This is done because considering that Atta-Aurel is a public figure who has high popularity so that it should pay attention to people's lives. Coupled with the arrival of the president at the wedding, it added to the criticism and sense of injustice felt by the community.
