Bamsoet: We Don't Need Opposition, We Need Mutual Cooperation

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party Bambang Soesatyo or Bamsoet said what the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government needed in the future was mutual cooperation. He agreed that all political parties were in one line.

"If necessary, we don't need the opposition. We need mutual cooperation, we need mutual cooperation democracy," said Bamsoet in Jakarta quoted on Friday, April 12.

This condition made Bamsoet support if Prabowo embraced all political parties in the country. Including, who is at odds during the 2024 presidential election.

"There is no need for opposition," he said.

The chairman of the MPR RI agrees that in the future the government needs to check and balance. However, every thing should be discussed as often done by the Golkar Party.

"We Golkar and other parties in the same coalition do not mean one view. But we must convey it well," he said.

Moreover, Bamsoet assessed that the opposition often spoke inconsistently with conditions. "It's talking about pride, so sometimes run away from substance," he said.

"But if we talk about a coalition from a better heart for a just and prosperous society," concluded Bamsoet.
