Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri reminded her party not to always be in a comfort zone. He asked his cadres to strengthen the ranks. This was conveyed by Megawati in a political speech at the opening of the PDIP National Working Meeting at the Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta on Friday, May 24. He initially reminded his cadres to be solid after a lot of fraud recently. "We continue to move, move, solidly move, solidly move, keep going, keep going, keep going. Don't back down, what for? Reach victory," Megawati said in front of the cadres and invited guests present. "For what? So that the people can truly have the sovereignty of their people," he continued. Megawati then alluded to the revolutionary patience that was often conveyed by the First President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as his father, Soekarno or Bung Karno. The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia said anyone who did not want to follow his direction to leave the party.

Because, being a party cadre bearing the bull symbol needs to have determination and patience. "Who doesn't want to follow? Yes, yes. Never mind, it's not a comfort zone, it's a comfort zone," he said. Even so, Megawati had said that her party did not know the terms opposition or coalition. This is because Indonesia is a adherent of a presidential system, not a parliamentary one. However, the government still needs a person who is in control. So, there needs to be a balance section. "As a party that has a long history of fighting for democracy, we still place the importance of checking and balance that democracy requires control and balance," concluded Megawati.
