Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri said the political stance in the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government was a strategic stance. Thus, the decision will be made at the party congress. "The political position of the PDI-P towards the upcoming government is a strategic matter and so far it has always been decided at the party congress," Megawati said during a political speech closing the PDIP V National Working Meeting at the Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta, Sunday, May 26. Even so, Megawati believes that the people already know the position of her party. “ We are democratic fighters, ” said the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia. "The fighter's “ character is marked by the fire of the struggle that is always burning and never goes out even in the midst of pressure and siege," continued Megawati. Furthermore, Megawati reminded her cadres to continue to unite with the people. So that enlightenment can be obtained while waiting for decisions to be inside or outside the government in the future. “ The key lies in one-sidedness with the people. Bonding, bonding, bonding. People will certainly wait to be able to get the light of the problem whether in the future it will be bright or cloudy,” he said. Previously reported, the Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Puan Maharani when reading the external recommendations of the PDIP National Working Meeting V asked Megawati Soekarnoputri to only communicate with parties who consistently maintain democracy. "“Recommends the Chairperson of the PDI-P to only cooperate and communicate politically with parties who have a high commitment in ensuring the implementation of the reform agenda, strengthening the rule of law, and the meritocracy system, as well as improving the quality of democracy with people's sovereignty and the greatest increase for the prosperity of the people," said Puan when reading the recommendations when closing the PDIP V National Working Meeting at Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta. Puan said this recommendation was submitted to maintain democracy. In addition, the voices of the DPC and the PDIP DPD were listened to as Megawati said in a statement. Even so, Puan said Megawati had full authority to determine the PDIP's political stance according to the AD/ART. This statement is included in the recommendations at point 16 of the 17 produced. “Rakernas V Partai telah melakukan kajian in-depth terhadap berbagai persoalan bangsa dan negara, baik nasional maupun internasional. Berbagai persoalan tersebut di atas mengungkap potensi vulangan yang harus cermatati langkah mitigasinya agar tidak menciptakan krisis,” ungkap Ketua DPR RI itu.

“Rakernas V views the importance of the determination of party leadership in dealing with future government transitions. Therefore, the National Working Meeting V of the Party gives full authority to the Chairperson of the PDI-P in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 of the PDI-P Household Budget to determine the party's political stance towards the government, ” continued Puan reading the recommendation.
