Chairman of the PDIP DPP Said Abdullah denied the statement of Democrat Party politician Andi Arief, who said that the PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto's camp was reluctant to communicate with his party. Said ensured that there were no camps within the PDIP. "There is no camp in the PDIP, I make sure of that," Said said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 8. Said then reminded Andi Arief not to divide PDIP internally with his statement. Do not let, he said, Andi has the wrong address even though in the Democrat body there are camps. "Andi Arief should not try to divide PDIP as if there are camps in PDIP. We never knew the camp in PDIP," said Said. "Don't let many Democrats, there are many factions, suddenly they shoot PDIP, that's the wrong address," he continued. Instead, the chairman of the DPR's Budget Agency (Banggar) revealed that PDIP continues to communicate with other political parties including Democrats. In fact, Said himself often communicated with the Deputy Chairman of the DPR Banggar who is also Deputy Democrat Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono (Ibas). "Yes, I communicated with Mr. Ibas. I am the chairman of Banggar, Mr. Ibas is the Deputy Chairman of Banggar, the period is not communicating. Andi Arief has the wrong address," said Said. Previously, Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the Democratic Party, Andi Arief, said that his party continued to communicate with all political parties ahead of the 2024 General Election. Although the Democrats plan to build a coalition with PKS and NasDem. Including, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP). "In principle, the Golkar Party, PAN, PPP, NasDem, PKS, Gerindra, this is a party that is not arrogant. Most of the PDIPs want to communicate with the Democrats," Andi Arief told reporters, Tuesday, November 8. However, according to Andi Arief, only the PDIP camp Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto looked arrogant because he did not want to open a space for communication with the Democrats. "Only Pak Hasto's camp does not want to communicate, which is an arrogant sect. Yes, I think that's the right of the PDIP," said Andi Arief. Even so, Andi Arief appreciated other political parties that even though they had formed a coalition, they still opened communication. For example, the United Indonesia Coalition which contains PAN, Golkar, PPP or the Greater Indonesia Coalition initiated by Gerindra and PKB. "But the coalition is changing and KIB, this is the party that the Pak Prabowo coalition wants to communicate," he said. According to Andi, the parties are aware that building a country cannot be alone. However, he said, President Joko Widodo has recently interfered too much in the affairs and decisions of political parties. "We have to work together and the party has sovereignty. Unfortunately, sovereignty is currently being disturbed by the interests of political individuals, which, if we look at it at this time, Pak Jokowi is too involved, too in matters of sovereignty of parties, this is what is becoming unhealthy," he concluded.
