In March 2022, she was appointed as a spokesperson for the upcoming G20 summit in Indonesia, scheduled to be held in November 2022[21] Her appointment sparked criticism from some, with some saying that she has no experience in the diplomacy, international relations and calling it a "gimmick".[22][23][24] Bloomberg News questioned her appointment, calling it is a vanity appointment by the government to connect with the young population, while young Indonesians face high unemployment and rising living costs.[25] Wasito Raharjo, a political researcher at BRIN, says her appointment is an attempt to "dismiss criticism from the youth on critical issues."
Activism
editMaudy Ayunda is involved in social, political and economic issues in Indonesia, especially those impacting the lives of young people. In 2015, she accompanied the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, during his visit to Jakarta.[8][26][27]
