JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives from the Democratic Party Didik Mukriyanto, defending the General Chairperson Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) who was criticized for not taking sides with the poor or little people.

AHY is considered inappropriate to criticize the government because he is also not from a family of children. According to Didik, AHY's assessment was because the son of the 6th president of the Republic of Indonesia listened directly to the aspirations of the people in the field. It's not about AHY having a background from a lower class family. "If people are of the opinion that AHY is not from the little people, his spirit is not there anymore, in fact he really understands what the community expects because AHY is a leader who is close to the community," said Didik at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, March 16. Didik said that AHY's political speech yesterday should be interpreted that the Democratic Party not only belongs to cadres, but also fights for the hopes and desires of the people who become Democratic constituents.

"Democrats do not stop capturing the input and aspirations of the community, both those carried out by our party structure, including AHY, then all of our factions, both district/city DPRD and DPR RI," explained Didik.

The East Java electoral district legislator said that in fact the lower class was having difficulty fulfilling their daily lives. That, he said, should be of more concern to the current government.

"It is undeniable that this aspiration, in particular, I see that the community must think more about its welfare, access to the economy, we see the screams of the community with the difficulty of life, the potential for termination of employment, and unemployment is our focus," he said.

"That is our obligation in the Democrats, including Mas AHY, to ask all cadres, both legislative and executive, to continue to fight for what the community hopes," continued Didik.

Therefore, the Democratic Party hopes that future leaders will be visionary leaders and can be protectors of the entire community. As well as leaders who understand the difficulties and needs of the community.

"We hope that future leadership will also be capable, who understand what the people and their country need to be strong so that they can become good personnel for the country," said Didik.
