Observers Of Analysis Who Is More Appropriate Considered An Open Party, PDIP Or Prabowo?

JAKARTA - Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto visited PSI some time ago. The meeting gave rise to a narrative that Prabowo was an open figure compared to the PDI-P.

PDI Perjuangan is considered closed to other parties, even selecting parties that want to approach. PDI Perjuangan is also considered ostracized by big parties because of its closed attitude.

SMRC political observer Saidiman Ahmad assesses that the narrative that judges the PDI-P as a closed party is inappropriate. He reminded that there are fundamental things that may not be realized, the PDI-P is the winner of the legislative and presidential elections at the same time.

"It was this party that actually embraced Gerindra and Prabowo into the government coalition even though they had previously faced each other. The PDI-P embraced political opponents after they won the election," Saidiman said in an official statement, Friday, August 18.

"Brangkul Gerindra dan Prabowo atau tidak, tidak akan membuat posisi PDI Perjuangan sebagai pemilu menjadi renang," ujarnya menambahkan.

Saidiman said that Prabowo's act of embracing was in order to expand support to enter power. For those who are advancing in the election, it is very natural for Prabowo to seek the widest possible support.

"It's not about whether he's open or not, but it should be like that. Whether he's open or not, embracing or not, it's not determined during the mass-raising campaign," said Saidiman.

Saidiman assessed that the character was actually proven outside the general election period. There are also those who praise and consider Prabowo to be a legowo in the cabinet of his political enemy.

That's not a legowo attitude. Legowo means admitting the opponent's advantage on the first day you look defeated, instead of prostration and prostration, it seems as if they won and sent the masses to Bawaslu," he said.

Lebih dari itu, Saidiman menjelaskan alasannya membandingkan orang dengan partai. Pertama karena banyak narasi yang muncul memang membandingkan antara Prabowo dan PDI Perjuangan. Kedua, Prabowo memang punya keputusan absolutely untuk partainya. Prabowo dianggap begitu berkuasa di partainya.

"While the party that I compare with it is indeed a structured political institution. Even though this party has a charismatic general chairman, the decision comes from the collective will of the party," said Saidiman.
