<![CDATA[Pancasila is the foundation of the state, the national ideology, and the ethical guideline for national and state life. However, in contemporary Indonesian political practice, a significant gap remains between the ideal values of Pancasila and the reality of political behavior. Phenomena such as corruption, money politics, polarization, hate speech, and abuse of power demonstrate the weak internalization of Pancasila values within the political system. This article aims to analyze the forms of this gap, its causes, and its implications for the quality of Indonesian democracy. This research uses a qualitative approach through a literature review.
