JAKARTA - The Executive Director of Aljabar Strategic Indonesia, Arifki Chaniago, said that global energy pressures and increasing opposition dynamics in the public space were momentum to strengthen the issue of reshuffling or reshuffling the Red and White Cabinet.
According to him, the reshuffle discourse is actually not new. However, in the current situation, the plan meets external pressure and internal dynamics that are getting stronger, so that the issue of reshuffle finds its context.
"This reshuffle did not appear suddenly. The momentum alone is now felt to be stronger because it meets the pressure of global energy and begins to strengthen the opposition narrative in the public space," said Arifki, in his statement, Sunday, April 19.
He assessed that the global conditions that have an impact on the energy and economic sectors make the government need to ensure the readiness of the team in the cabinet to respond to the situation quickly and appropriately. This is what President Prabowo Subianto must consider if he decides to carry out a cabinet reshuffle.
"In a situation like this, President Prabowo will certainly be more careful. What is needed is not just a political figure, but a minister who is really an expert and able to help strengthen the government's performance," he added.
On the other hand, the dynamics of the opposition which has begun to shape public perceptions cannot be ignored. Although it has not yet been institutionalized in the attitude of political parties, the narrative of criticism is considered to be developing and testing the government's response. "This pressure from within and outside meets in one momentum. Therefore, every step of the government, including the reshuffle, will be read more broadly by the public," continued Arifki.
He emphasized that the reshuffle was ultimately not just about changing positions, but part of an effort to ensure that government performance is maintained and can be felt by the public. "The ultimate goal remains the same, namely how the government can work more effectively and the public feels the impact. There the public satisfaction is the measure," he said.
Arifki stated that, in this context, the reshuffle is a strategic instrument that must be calculated carefully so that it not only answers internal needs, but also public expectations. "If this momentum is managed properly, the reshuffle can be a strengthening. However, if not, it can open up a wider interpretation space and not provide a positive effect for the government," he said.
