Golkar Considers Puan And Rosan's Meeting At Bukber Events Not Political Gathering

JAKARTA - Secretary General of the Golkar Party Lodewijk F Paulus considers the meeting of PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani with the Chairman of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Rosan Roeslani at the iftar with (bukber) is not a political gathering.

"Yes, the names of people stay in touch, we're sorry for that. So just think of it as not a political gathering, a gathering in the context of the month of Ramadan," said Lodewijk, Thursday, February 4.

However, Lodewijk welcomed if the friendship between the two led to the coalition. Although according to him, the authority regarding the decision to join the Advanced Indonesia Coalition is in Prabowo Subianto's hands as the elected president.

"That's what will regulate later, Mr. Prabowo, Mr. Prabowo, who knows. What is clear is that building this country is getting more and more people, the better, the better parties, of course, the better, the point is that," said the Deputy Speaker of the DPR.

When asked whether or not the PDIP General Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri needed a meeting with Prabowo, Lodewijk asked the public to wait.

"The name is friendship, we don't know what it contains, we'll just wait and that's of course the closeness between Pak Prabowo and Mrs. Muga has already been far apart. So when the two of them as national figures wanted to stay in touch, I thought it was good," he concluded.
