The President of Indonesia called on the country's authorities to stop using Visa and Mastercard

Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged the leadership of the country's regional authorities to abandon the use of Western payment systems Visa and Mastercard.

According to the Indonesian edition of The Jakarta Post, Widodo stressed that such a measure is necessary to ensure the security of transactions from possible consequences caused by geopolitical processes in the world, in particular from Western sanctions.

The President of Indonesia recalled the anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the US leadership, as a result of which the operation of Visa and Mastercard payment systems for consumers from Russia was limited.

The head of state noted that the restrictive measures introduced by the US government due to the Ukrainian crisis could cause some difficulties, since payment systems are economic tools that can be used against countries, according to the American leadership, that have anything to do with the armed conflict in Ukraine.

Earlier, a representative of the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said that his country is considering options for using the Russian payment system Mir for transactions.

Western payment systems VISA and MasterCard suspended cooperation with Russian banks at the beginning of last year due to Russia conducting a special military operation in Ukraine, after which millions of Russian citizens were faced with the inability to use bank cards of these systems outside the country.

Indonesia is not only the largest Muslim country in the world by population (the total number of inhabitants is about 270 million people), but also a member of the G20, as well as the largest cardholder of American payment systems in the Muslim world.

torn to pieces

Now is not the time, then there was no flight from Afghanistan, there was no NWO, where p.ndos would be defeated by definition ... Then Russia was almost a ruin, they could not yet say their word, there was a guardian in the leadership of Russia, yes and China has not gained the power it now has!

Because the Libyan leader began to voice this without first purchasing fighter jets and air defense systems.

Just bought a lot, Gaddafi had a lot of money. And it seems that a ship with spare anti-aircraft missiles from Russia left the Libyan port without unloading. By the way, there are many similarities in the fate of Syria and Libya. When Libya was bombed, a similar scenario in relation to Syria seemed impossible, but hybrid warfare methods proved effective even against a country with a well-armed and large army. I read that the losses of the Syrian army since the beginning of the hybrid war between Israel and the United States against Syria exceed the losses of both sides in the NWO.

Right now, a team for USAID from the State Department will come and they will begin to feed the next "White Helmets" like Jemaah Islamiyah to "rock the boat" ...
PS: they have the next presidential election scheduled there just in a year.

There is no accuracy in the presentation of information.
In the original, it is stated in a slightly different form:

TOKYO, 16 March. /TASS/. Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged regional administrations to abandon foreign payment systems such as Visa and Mastercard and start using credit cards issued by local banks in case the situation with the ban on these cards in Russia due to sanctions repeats. This was reported by The Jakarta Post on Thursday.

Well, that's how everything in the article fit well into the propaganda trend .. And here you are, with your clarification ...

I was surprised in the article by the desire of Indonesia to switch to the Mir system, for them it would be more logical to choose the Chinese China UnionPay. So I decided to double-check the information.

Well, what do you want? on the site where they write that NATO aircraft intercepted the Russian AN148 tanker aircraft, this is a completely normal desire. I’m just surprised that Indonesian President Joko Widodo didn’t tell VO newsmakers that Indonesia decided to join the SCO, CSTO and BRICS, and also abandoned the dollar and switched to the Mongolian tugrik - a very stable currency that no one needs .. ..

[QuestionsNeudobny]

then such opuses must be debunked, since a lie is always a lie, even in small things. there is one rock author who lies like a gray gelding, but you shouldn’t ask him questions because you can only touch it with a wand

[Plate]

Yes, the news is still positive. If I were the Indonesians, I would also start making my own system. In China they did it, in Russia they did it, why is Indonesia worse? In my opinion, a great alternative is a multitude of payment systems independent of each other, existing on an equal footing and linked by mutual consent to ensure transfers through each other. And no center where you can press the switch and knock someone out.

[Ilgizl]

At the same time, multilateral agreements should be concluded between the countries that create such systems.

In the main article about the transition to other payment systems (information from other media), there is no mention of the words of the representative of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so if this was stated earlier, then at least in the stated article you need to indicate the name of this representative, otherwise it looks like a phrase like "one grandmother said.

Behind Widodo there is no chance to see the smiling face of Comrade Sechin?

[Volunteer Marek]

Eh! If there is no support for him, the democrats and liberals will trample these timid sprouts of independence. But who will support? Question!

[QuestionsNeudobny]

why call? there will still be those who will shout that the West is good. prepare for the answer, put unrealistic conditions in parallel to launch other payment systems. profit.

If the Russian Federation, China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia and their friendly countries in Africa and South America form WESTLESS global institutions like the UN, IOC, IMF, WTO ... "Western violinist dollar" will NOT NEED.

The West will turn into the Wild West and bury itself.
