Previously, the United Nations visited PPP at the PPP DPP office, Jalan Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Monday, March 13.

"Bahas koalisi dan bagaimana cara mempertahankan keberadaan Partai Islam, agar jangan hilang dilambunuh zaman," ujar Yusril kepada wartawan, Senin, 13 Maret. Dia menjelaskan, pertemuannya dengan pimpinan PPP hanya untuk memperkuat keberadaan partai-partai Islam. Karena menurutnya, perpolitian Indonesia harus selarah antara dua kekuatan politik besar yaitu Islam dan nasionalism.

"In our country, there are still two major political powers, there must be Islam and Nationalism. The political power of Islam is being eroded by pragmatism and money politics," explained this constitutional law expert. Yusril said that Islamic parties really depend on the people to exist. The reason is, there are no investors who want to fund Islamic parties.

"There is no conglomerate that wants to support the political power of Islam. It all depends on Muslims themselves," said Yusril.
