JAKARTA - PDIP politician (PDIP) Masinton Pasaribu, denied that his party was allergic to the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS). PDIP and PKS are known to have not held a meeting since 2021. PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto some time ago also emphasized, PDIP will not form a coalition with the party led by Ahmad Syaikhu. "There is no problem with communication between PDIP and PKS. However, he said, PDIP needs more exploring if it comes to PKS because of different ideological backgrounds. "If the friendship is okay, there is no problem, but in strategic work it is necessary to explore. This means how we see Indonesia from various spectra, be it ideological, platform and struggle programs. So we are not allergic to anyone," explained Masinton. Regarding until now there is no political party that visited PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri, Masinton reasoned that his political party leadership was still limiting himself meeting with outsiders. "This is because the COVID-19 pandemic situation has just subsided. However, said Masinton, the chairman generally always assigns administrators at the DPP PDIP to communicate with other political parties. For example, ordering DPP chairman Puan Maharani also visited other political parties. "For PDIP, there is an assignment. When yesterday there was still a COVID-19 period, Mrs. Mega did some restrictions on people. He assigned the secretary general, Ms. Puan, Msau, Mr. Utut, Mr. Bambang Wuryanto to do political communication, both to NasDem, PKS, Golkar, Gerindra, PKB and others," he said.

Masinton said that the character of PDIP is gotong royong and together, which has become a habit of a bull party. PDIP, he said, realizes that building a nation cannot be done alone, its party always prioritizes historical aspects, the perspective of this nation. "So for PDIP, mutual cooperation becomes a principle. So if today PDIP will form a coalition with whom it is based on. Keep building communication with political parties and elements outside political parties," he said. Asked in the near future PDIP will visit which political party, Masinton answered briefly. "Yes, we will wait for the date," he concluded.
