JAKARTA - Gerindra Party politician and Deputy Minister of Agriculture (Wamentan) Sudaryono assessed that President Prabowo Subianto was not an anti-count demonstration or demonstration.
According to Sudaryono, the President has never had any problems with demonstrations, because demonstrations are one way for the government to hear complaints and aspirations of the people.
"No, no, no (the president is not anti-demoting)," said Sudaryono in response to reporters' questions about the President's assessment of student demonstrations against the ratification of the TNI Bill in front of the DPR Building, Senayan, Jakarta until Thursday, March 20 evening, was confiscated by Antara.
Meanwhile, Sudaryono assessed that demonstrations, as long as they do not involve violence, are legitimate activities because they are protected by the 1945 Constitution.
"I think we also get a lot of positive things from demonstration activities. We have a source of consideration in making decisions," said Deputy Minister Sudaryono.
He then considered that frequent demonstrations were held by the public, because many of them received incomplete information regarding government policies, for example demonstrations against efficiency.
"It's a reflection of the government, I don't think there's a problem," said Sudaryono.
