JAKARTA Memories of today, six years ago, October 10, 2019, Deputy Chairperson of the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), Arief Poyuono, emphasized that his party had asked for seats for three ministers. The request to Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was considered a form of contribution to build the nation.
Previously, Jokowi and Prabowo Subianto were committed to building Indonesia together. This narrative makes the Gerindra Party ready to join the government. Gerindra also prepared its cadres to help Jokowi's work.
Nothing lasts forever in the world of politics. The narrative is now against tomorrow being friends like normal things. Different attitudes are only felt by those who trust a politician. Pain and sadness while being betrayed by their idol became the most dominant.
This condition occurred to two national figures, Jokowi and Prabowo. Both have been shouting since the 2014 presidential election. Prabowo did lose in political contestation. Prabowo also brought his party into opposition to the government.
The fight between the two occurred again in the 2019 presidential election. Again, Jokowi, who emerged victorious. Prabowo Subianto's supporters accepted it. However, Prabowo's hopes of becoming an opposition emerged. However, that wish did not materialize. Prabowo seemed to be turning around.
He began to open a relationship to bring Gerindra to collaborate with the government. Prabowo admitted that being an opposition made his position difficult. As a result, Prabowo agreed to join forces to build Indonesia by becoming part of Jokowi's cabinet.
All Prabowo supporters were disappointed. However, recently that desire strengthened. The Gerindra Party itself revealed that they were together. Gerindra is also preparing to provide Gerindra's best cadres to assist Jokowi in the government.
"If indeed Mr. Jokowi needs Gerindra cadres to help the running of his government, Gerindra has prepared these people. The cadres prepared are clean cadres, and have integrity, meaning that we are up to Pak Jokowi. ."
"That is his prerogative. But they represent the government, together running the government, if they are asked from the Gerindra party they must commit to helping the government, and Gerindra's DPR members continue to monitor and control," said Arief as quoted on the website. , July 26, 2019.
The signal to join is getting stronger. The Deputy Chairperson of Gerindra again gave certainty that his party entered the government on October 10, 2019. Arief admitted that Gerindra had asked for a position of three ministers.

It was later discovered that Gerindra only received two ministerial rations. Even then, far missed the initial request. Prabowo served the Minister of Defense and Edhy Prabowo served as Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.
"We ask for three, why are we shy about building the country with smart programs and ideas, except for being shy. We are helping the country invited by the coalition, yes, we ask the minister and several heads of agencies. . "
"Because we are presenting the program (that's why we ask the minister), we also endorse the employment program and the investment climate. Yes, if anything happens to us, we are in a coalition, what is the coalition if we can't take care of the country directly," said Arief as quoted by the website. , October 10, 2019.
