JAKARTA - The National Mandate Party (PAN) 'tempted' former Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) cadres, from Tsamara Amany, Michael Sianipar to Rian Ernest to join the party chaired by Zulkifli Hasan.
Young Spokesperson for PAN Dimas Prakoso Akbar, assessed that his party was suitable to be a means of struggle for the three young politicians.
According to him, with representatives in the executive (government) and legislature (parliament), the three of them can do a lot for the progress of the country through policies.
"Reminding Tsamara, Rian, and Michael Sianipar, that PAN is the right means of struggle for them. PAN is a moderate, inclusive, and egalitarian political party," said Dimas in Jakarta, Tuesday, December 20.
According to him, PAN is a political vehicle suitable for Tsamara to Rian Ernest. Because, he said, PAN would accommodate any 'crazy idea' from the younger generation that puts forward the politics of ideas without polarization and intolerance.
"The history of PAN was established by a collection of figures with intellectual, religious, and nationalist backgrounds, plus today's reality under the leadership of general chairman Zulkifli Hasan who is very accommodating to the 'crazy ideas' of the younger generation, so it is very appropriate if Tsamara, Rian, Michael chooses PAN as a political vehicle," he said.
Moreover, added Dimas, currently PAN is a member of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) which firmly rejects political methods that cause polarization, intolerance, especially the SARA conflict in the community.
Dimas reminded Tsamara Amany, Rian Ernest, that Michael Sianipar did not need to think too long to join PAN. Because, he said, the political year or the 2024 election is getting closer.
"Don't think too much, it will be the election year soon, hurry to join PAN, determine what the goals that want to be fought for through PAN. After that, don't forget to determine the electoral district," concluded Dimas.
Previously, photos circulated of a number of former PSI cadres who were seen gathering to meet in one place. Among them are Rian Ernest, Tsamara Amany to Michael Sianipar. There are also figures who are still cadres, namely Idris Ahmad, William Aditya Sarana and Anggara Wicitra.
Tsamara Amany said the meeting was just a casual gathering. However, he admitted that there were a number of things that were discussed, one of which was related to the contribution of young people to Indonesia.
"We discussed how we can continue to contribute to Indonesia as young people," said Tsamara when confirmed.
Meanwhile, regarding the political steps to join the party, Tsamara emphasized that he was not yet interested in joining any party.
"All of my friends are not in a hurry. I really don't want to join the political parties anymore. Ara, Idris, and William are focusing on managing constituents in DKI. Mike and Rian are still open to options to see political parties according to idealism," said Tsamara.
