JAKARTA - Golkar Party Chairman Bahlil Lahadalia delivered a speech at the National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) which was attended by all Golkar regional leaders in Indonesia. Bahlil emphasized that no group or even certain families could claim that Golkar belonged to them.
Bahlil initially reminded the history of the birth of the Golkar Party. According to him, the history of the birth of the party needs to be understood carefully so that cadres do not leave the struggle and the noble goals and ideals of Golkar.
"We all know that our party was born on October 20, 1964. It was born by Sekber, and Sekber gave birth to kino-kino. But before Sekber was born, there were 97 other organizations that founded Sekber. 97 there were TNI/Polri, there was bureaucracy, there were fishermen, there were journalists, there were youth groups, there were activist groups of students, there were professional groups, midwives, doctors, everything was there, women," said Bahlil at the Golkar Party DPP office, Jakarta, Saturday, December 20.
"Thus, we can conclude again that our party was not born by a certain group of people, but was really born from the womb of the Indonesian people," he continued.
The goal is also clear, said Bahlil, namely to solve the nation's problems from the post-election political transition in 1955. Where after independence in 1945, there was a long debate between monopartai or multiparty in the process of stages leading up to the election. Even the national inflation at that time reached 650 percent, unemployment everywhere, to political stability that could not be controlled.
"There is a group of people who want to change the ideology of Pancasila into a Communist ideology. And Golkar should not be ashamed to say this, because Golkar was born with values and ideals. That's our difference there. So we don't just seize power, we don't just fill independence, but Golkar was born to defend the Pancasila ideology from the attack of other ideologies. That's our difference with other parties," explained Bahlil.
Based on this understanding, continued Bahlil, it is very appropriate if Golkar continues to carry out an evolutionary process. Golkar, he said, in its history which has been inherited by senior-seniors with their respective legacies in their time.
"Then I think after I have done contemplation, discussions with various seniors including Mr. Agung, many other seniors. We can conclude that Golkar is an extraordinary party. There is no party in this Republic whose historical birth process was born by the founding fathers. The big minds were also established, initiated by the founding fathers," said Bahlil.
"And because of that, Golkar cannot have a certain group of people who claim that Golkar is like theirs. It is not allowed for a certain group to feel that they have the Golkar party, it is not allowed. Especially certain families, it is not allowed," he said.
