Chairman of the PDIP DPP Said Abdullah emphasized that the meeting between the elected president Prabowo Subianto and PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri could not be interpreted as an effort to soften the PDIP's stance to the Prabowo-Gibran government. According to Said, PDIP will still be constructive critical towards the government, regardless of the PDIP position later.

"There is nothing (reducing the PDIP's attitude), when the two leaders of the nation as I said, met together, suddenly we came to the conclusion that the PDI-P had softened, then entered. Or the two leaders of the nation met but the PDI-P remained outside. So that conclusion is held first," said Said Abdullah at the DPR building, parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday.

Said said the meeting between Prabowo and Megawati was an effort to maintain public morality as said by Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati. According to him, the meeting of the two figures was aimed at caring for Indonesianness.

"We are waiting for how the two of them equate their vision in the future to take care of Indonesia, advance Indonesia, prosper all of us, the people of Indonesia. If it has something in common, God willing, we will see it for the PDI-P, both inside and outside," said Said.

Furthermore, Said said the meeting between Prabowo and Megawati would take place before the inauguration of the elected president and vice president on October 20, 2024. However, he was reluctant to reveal the exact time of the meeting.

"The meeting of the General Chairperson with Mr. Prabowo is just waiting for the momentum of the days. Because the inauguration on October 20 is in front of our eyes together. We are all getting ready to welcome the elected president, inaugurated on October 20. And God willing, before the inauguration, Mrs. Megawati will meet with Mr. Prabowo," concluded Said.
