JAKARTA - The DPP of the Democrat Party, Moeldoko's camp, responded to Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) 's press conference which took place Monday, March 29.

Democratic Party spokesman Muhammad Rahmad said AHY and his staff had been declared demisionary. In fact, the High Council led by his father, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) was dissolved by the Extraordinary Democratic Party Congress.

"The current DPP stewardship is the Democrat Party led by Gen. TNI (ret) Moeldoko," said Rahmad in a statement received on Tuesday, March 30.

According to Rahmad, AHY and SBY do not need to panic in responding to the conflict within the party bearing the Mercy Star symbol. Especially to mention about radicalism. Even though this understanding developed during the time his father led Indonesia.

"AHY or SBY do not need to panic, burn beards or repeat lying. Just explain to the wider community, why radical organizations can flourish in Indonesia in the era of SBY's leadership as president as well as chairman and chairman of the upper house of the Democratic Party," said Rahmad. .

Rahmad emphasized that the new Democratic Party DPP management has been registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in accordance with statutory regulations. Therefore, the DPP Democrat Party appealed to all cadres in Indonesia to remain calm and patient.

"The situation within the party will remain under control and safe under Moeldoko's leadership," he said.

He also ensured that whatever was conveyed by AHY, there would be no influence because his management had been declared demisionary by the congress participants in Deli Serdang. Moeldoko, he said, would put internal order in the party in the near future.

"We appeal to party cadres in the regions to remain united and intact in the Democratic Party's mansion. Moeldoko will not throw out the cadres, let alone fire them as AHY arbitrarily did, as if placing himself as the owner of the Democratic Party," explained Rahmad.

Rahmad also invited cadres to continue building and raising a democratic Democratic Party towards an advanced Indonesia. DPP PD will develop a culture of tolerance and live in harmony, rejecting intolerance and radicalism in Indonesia.

"Let us protect the Democratic Party from the influence of radicalism, arbitrariness and the autocracy of familyism. The Democratic Party belongs to all of us, the people of Indonesia, not to one or two people," he said.

Previously, the Chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono or AHY, spoke up in connection with the press conference held by the Moeldoko camp in Hambalang some time ago.

According to AHY, the figures involved in the Democratic Party Leadership Takeover Movement (GPK-PD) tried to degrade the legitimate Democratic Party by raising the issue of the corruption case of the Hambalang Athletic House which at that time dragged a number of party officials in it.

"There have been attempts by the KSP Moeldoko camp to degrade the Democrat Party by raising the issue of Hambalang, after the KSP Moeldoko camp was unable to demonstrate the legality of the implementation of the KLB which was actually an act against the law," AHY said in a live broadcast via Agus Yudhoyono's YouTube channel, Monday, March 29. .

AHY also said that Moeldoko's camp was trying to discredit the Democratic Party with the issue of conflicting democracy ahead of the 2024 General Election.

He also questioned the ideological conflict in question, so as not to anger Democratic Party cadres and sympathizers.

The son of the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia concluded that the KLB Deli Serdang camp was trying to build a bad image of the Democratic Party in various ways.

"It is intended (so that) KSP Moeldoko can get justification to appear as a savior. This is an old and predictable song in fact and shows that KSP Moeldoko and his gang have no fundamental reasons and have gone out of common sense, ”said AHY.
