Suara.com – The issue that there would be a meeting between the General Chair of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri and the 10th and 12th Vice President Jusuf Kalla was taken seriously by Senior Golkar Party Politician, Idrus Marham.
He stated that this was unethical, because it was done beyond capacity.
“Anyone who acts out of position and has certain targets, I think is unethical,” said Idris, Thursday (29/2/2024).
Because of this, Idrus then questioned JK's capacity if the meeting with Megawati took place.
“For example, if we meet as national figures, I think that is a necessity. We encourage it.”
“However, yesterday someone asked me, what if JK met on behalf of Golkar? I said, in what capacity would JK meet on behalf of Golkar?” he asked.
Idrus said, if JK represents the Golkar Party, there should be a mandate from the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto.
“If there is no mandate from the general chairman, then it is very unethical. It is very unethical for JK to talk to Mbak Mega on behalf of Golkar,” he said.
I'm sure JK is aware of ethics
However, Idrus believes, JK is aware of his capacity and ethics. So, continued Idrus, it was impossible to hold a meeting with Megawati on behalf of the Golkar Party.
Previously it was reported that the Co-Captain of the AMIN National Team, Sudirman Said, confirmed that there had been an effort to bring JK and Megawati together.
“There are indeed efforts to make the two meet,” he said recently.
He even considered that the meeting would have a good impact, because the two national figures would provide their wisdom regarding national affairs.
“I see that the benefits are more than just taking care of this year's elections. Wisdom will definitely emerge from these figures to find solutions for this nation,” said Sudirman.
Sudirman hopes that the JK and Mega meeting can actually take place. Because he feels that recently Indonesia has lost a statesman.
“So hopefully that can happen. We feel like we are increasingly lacking statesmen,” he said.
Previously, news spread that JK would meet Megawati in the near future.
According to Suara.com sources within the AMIN National Team, the planned meeting will discuss opportunities for cooperation between the 01 AMIN camp and the 03 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD camp.
“I received the news (JK met Mega) only that Anies Baswedan told me directly, don't tell anyone else,” said a Suara.com source via short message, Thursday (22/2/2024).
The meeting was initially held on Monday (19/2/2024). However, recently the meeting between JK and Mega was canceled.
“The meeting was supposed to be last Monday afternoon, but it was very closed,” said the source.
