JAKARTA - PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri reminded all cadres to continue to contribute. She also asked her cadres to not only sell party names but not to work.

The reason is that she wants all PDIP cadres to have a character ready to work for the benefit of the people.

"Don't just sell the name of the party, only able to dress in party uniforms but you don't want to work. I really want to see all the party members present in their eyes, it's clear that he's definitely PDI-P," said Megawati at the inauguration ceremony of 25 party offices, broadcasted on PDI-P's YouTube, Sunday, May 30.

"That's how I want it. That's what we call the character. It's very clearly illustrated," she added.

The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia also asked her cadres to use the party office to carry out consolidation. So, the problems that exist in the community can be solved properly.

"So, if you all just want a position, to be DPP, DPD, DPC, PAC, but just hanging out, it's useless," she said.

Megawati also emphasized that if there are cadres who currently hold public positions but only sit down, they will certainly not be re-elected. Because people can see their performance.

"After five years (in office, ed) it's not necessarily re-elected. Because of what? People also see it. People like that just sit around, never come to meetings, never get together to discuss," she said.

As previously reported, Megawati has inaugurated a number of party offices. At the level of the Regional Management Board (DPD), aka the province, three offices were inaugurated, namely the offices of the East Kalimantan PDIP DPD, Central Sulawesi PDIP DPD, and Maluku PDIP DPD offices.
