Democrats Respond To PDIP That Has Closed Coalition Doors: Only Hasto Is Allergic

JAKARTA - The Democratic Party responded to the PDI-P, which firmly stated that it did not want to form a coalition with the party chaired by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono. Deputy for the Democrat Research and Development Agency, Syahrial Nasution, admitted that he could not understand the PDI-P's refusal to form a coalition, both with the Democrats and the PKS. "It is difficult to understand as a fellow nationalist party, PDIP refuses to cooperate with Democrats for the benefit of the nation," said Syahrial, Friday, June 24. Syahrial assessed that the coalition's rejection of the Democrats was not the decision of the PDIP DPP. He also mentioned the attitude of PDIP Secretary General Hasto.

"Only Hasto PDIP is allergic. Maybe because we often ask the KPK, when was Harun Masiku arrested?" Syahrial said. Because to his knowledge, there are still many PDIP elites who actually have good relations with the Democratic party. Even since the era of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). "When Mr. SBY the President, Pramono Anung and BG were close to the Democrats," he said. Previously, PDIP had firmly closed political cooperation with the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and the Democratic Party in facing the 2024 General Election.

"Yes, if there is no cooperation with PKS (perhaps cooperation)," said PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto at the Party School, South Jakarta, Thursday, June 23.

However, Hasto did not explain the reasons for closing the opportunity for political cooperation with PKS. The party bearing the white-snouted bull logo also confirmed that it would not be possible to form a coalition with the Democratic Party.

"It is not easy to work with the Democratic Party. Because various political dynamics show that," said Hasto.
