JAKARTA - PDI-P politician Andreas Hugo Pareira asked the Democratic Party not to involve President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in their internal problems following the issue of a coup by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY).
He asked the party bearing the Democrat Party to be smart in dealing with their internal problems without involving other parties.
"Whoever or whatever the political party in the future will be smart in managing their respective households," Andreas said in a written statement to reporters, Saturday, February 6.
Andreas assessed that the Democrat Party's efforts to build public opinion that President Jokowi intervened in the style of the New Order in this matter had not become a political selling point.
This member of the House of Representatives Commission X also assessed that internal party matters should not be brought to the public space.
"Internal affairs of political parties should not be brought to the public space. There is no benefit because it only reflects the fragility of the political party's internal leadership," he said.
In addition, he also assessed that this kind of sale was no longer sold in the community. This is because the public is now getting smarter in responding to the realities and political dynamics that are happening in the country.
"The public and the media are increasingly critical, so placing opinion framing is like juxtaposing the Jokowi Government and the New Order regime, feels strange and does not make public sense," he said.
Furthermore, Andreas also appreciated President Jokowi's move to refuse to answer the letter sent by AHY regarding Moeldoko's involvement in this coup attempt. He said this attitude was correct by giving an answer that this matter was an internal Democratic Party household affair.
"So that the PD's efforts failed to withdraw as if the Jokowi government was practicing the politics of government intervention in political parties as an effort to framing opinions," he said.
Previously, AHY said, there was a movement that attempted to remove him from the position of Chairman of the Democratic Party.
This movement is echoed by five figures. They consist of one active Democrat cadre, one cadre who has been inactive for 6 years, one former cadre who was dishonorably dismissed for 9 years due to corruption, one cadre who left the party 3 years ago, and one non-cadre of the Democratic Party.
AHY said, one figure who is not from within the party is a high official in the government of President Joko Widodo. Later, the name of the Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko appeared in line with this issue.
Responding to this issue, Moeldoko has stated that although he did meet with a number of cadres and former high-ranking Democrats, he never intended to carry out a coup within the Democratic party.
"I'm an outsider, I don't have any rights, they have rights inside. What's the deal? Nothing, 'wong' I'm an outsider," said Moeldoko.
Moeldoko admits that he also respects the founder of the Democratic party and the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
"Who am I? What am I? Just ordinary. In the Democrats there is Pak SBY, there is a son, AHY, especially yesterday that he was chosen by acclamation. Why should I be afraid? Why do you have to respond like that? Just so-so. the dynamics in a political party are common, "said Moeldoko.
