Jakarta – Vicar of Pan Sorifies Criticism of Prabowo’s Meeting with KIM Plus Partisans

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto‘s meeting with top executives of political parties in the Indonesia Maju (KIM) Plus coalition has sparked unexpected criticism, with some individuals viewing the event unfavorably. Saleh Partaonan Daulay, Deputy Chairman of the People’s Conscience Party (Pan), has spoken out defending the gathering.

Saleh, addressing journalists at a press briefing on Sunday, December 29, stated, "It’s quite strange, isn’t it? Prabowo’s meeting with party leaders is a topic of discussion, and even worse, some are evaluating it negatively." He emphasized that the meeting’s agenda was centered on issues concerning the public’s best interests, and any political discussions that took place were focused on nationalism, not power politics.

He lauded President Prabowo’s accomplishments since taking office, highlighting improvements such as raises for educators, fulfillment of labor wage demands, and the implementation of free nutritious meals. He reassured the public that numerous other policies were being developed and would be carried out according to regulations.

Irate in support of the Prabowo-Gibran administration, Saleh implored everyone to rally behind them. "There should be no doubt. Prabowo-Gibran have been on track. We all must support them," he insisted, emphasizing the importance of constructive criticism.

Previously, leaders of participating parties revealed the content of their discussion at Prabowo’s residence in South Jakarta. Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, Chairman of the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), noted that economic conditions, particularly the increase in Value-Added Tax (PPN) from 11% to 12%, were among the topics discussed.

Saleh’s comments come amidst criticism of Prabowo’s meeting with these party leaders. His response serves as a reminder that constructive dialogue and a focus on national interests are key to a united and progressing Indonesia.

Leaders of Indonesia Maju Coalition and Allies AttendPrivate Meeting with Prabowo;скоol in Silence

Article:

In a display of unity, leaders of several political parties from the Indonesia Maju Coalition (KIM) and its supporting parties gathered for a private meeting at the residence of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in Jakarta on Saturday night. However, they remained tight-lipped about the discussion that took place, lasting approximately two hours.

Chairmen of the political parties, including Bahlil Lahadalia of Golkar and Zulkifli Hasan of PAN, were seen entering Prabowo Subianto‘s private residence on Jalan Kertanegara, Jakarta Selatan. However, they offered no comment to the press upon leaving.

According to Bahlil Lahadalia, "It’s normal," he remarked when asked about the meeting by reporters waiting outside Prabowo’s residence. Meanwhile, other chairmen like Muhaimin Iskandar of PKB, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) of Demokrat, and Ahmad Syaikhu of PKS, left without making any statements.

The gathering comes as Prabowo, also the chairman of Gerindra Party, is set to attend a religious event and Christmas celebrations at the Indonesia Arena in Senayan, Jakarta, later in the evening. His vice-presidential candidate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, had already arrived at the venue.

The purpose of the meeting remains unclear, as none of the attending party leaders chose to disclose any details. The silence surrounding the event has left observers speculating about the possible topics discussed, ranging from coalition politics to the upcoming legislative elections.

"Gates Warned: ‘Fool Me Once, Shame on You; Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me’. A €30 Billion Gap in New Airport Finances"

Portas Questions New Lisbon Airport Cost Estimates, Calls for Thorough Analysis

In his weekly commentary, Paulo Portas expressed concern over the differing cost estimates for the new Lisbon airport, highlighting the disparity between the commission-independent’s €6 billion figure and the concessionaire ANA Aeroportos’ €9 billion estimate.

Portas believes the commission’s purpose is twofold: "to discard the Portela-Montijo solution, the most affordable one, by not renewing its environmental impact declaration," and "to push for the new airport in Alcochete at maximum cost."

With a significant difference in cost estimates, Portas advises a meticulous analysis. "The government must state its opinion on the ANA’s report by January 17, followed by six months for all entities to weigh in," he said. If in power, Portas would use these six months to identify cost reduction opportunities.

The government has acknowledged the need to evaluate the ANA’s report, aligning with Portas’ call for thorough analysis. The new airport’s cost uncertainty underscores the importance of transparent and rigorous assessment to ensure the project’s sustainability and feasibility.

written by Chief Editor

Senior figures of Golkar, a prominent political party in Indonesia, gathered to celebrate the party’s 60th anniversary in Sentul. Two key figures, Agung Laksono and Jusuf Kalla, were in attendance, despite their recent dispute over the chairmanship of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI). Agung arrived earlier and took a seat in the front row with other Golkar figures, while Jusuf entered with President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming, sitting in a row with them and several other dignitaries. Other senior Golkar members present included Agus Gumiwang Kertasasmita, Bambang Soesatyo, and others. The event was also attended by leaders of other political parties, such as Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono of Democrat, Mardiono of PPP, Ahmad Heryawan of PKS, and Muhaimin Iskandar of PKB. The anniversary coincided with the contentious PMI chairmanship race, with Jusuf recently re-elected but Agung also laying claim to the position.

Title: Prominent Figures Attend Golkar’s 60th Anniversary Celebration: Jusuf Kalla and Agung Laksono Join the Festivities

Introduction

The Golongan Karya (Golkar) party recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, a significant milestone in Indonesia’s political landscape. The event, held on November 25, 2021, was graced by the presence of several prominent figures, including former Vice President Jusuf Kalla and prominent politician Agung Laksono. Their attendance underscored the importance of the occasion and highlighted the party’s enduring influence in Indonesian politics.

Golkar’s 60th Anniversary Celebration

Golkar, one of Indonesia’s oldest and most influential political parties, was founded on November 25, 1961, initially as a political organization for employees of state-owned enterprises. Over the years, it has evolved into a major political force, playing a crucial role in Indonesia’s democratic transition and subsequent development.

The 60th anniversary celebration was a grand affair, attended by numerous high-profile guests, including former and current political figures, business leaders, and other influential members of Indonesian society. The event was held under strict health protocols, adhering to Indonesia’s COVID-19 guidelines, to ensure the safety of all attendees.

Jusuf Kalla’s Presence

Former Vice President Jusuf Kalla was among the distinguished guests at the celebration. Kalla, who served under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono from 2004 to 2009, is a senior figure in Golkar. His presence at the anniversary event was a testament to his ongoing commitment to the party and its ideals.

Kalla took the opportunity to reflect on Golkar’s history and its significance in Indonesia’s political development. He praised the party’s role in fostering democratic values and encouraging political pluralism in the country. Kalla also expressed his hope that Golkar would continue to play a constructive role in Indonesia’s political landscape, contributing to the country’s progress and development.

Agung Laksono Joins the Celebration

Another prominent figure who attended the Golkar anniversary celebration was Agung Laksono, a veteran politician and former speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR). Laksono, who is also a Golkar party member, was instrumental in Indonesia’s democratic transition in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Laksono’s attendance at the event was a nod to his longstanding relationship with Golkar and his enduring commitment to the party’s principles. Like Kalla, Laksono also took the opportunity to reflect on Golkar’s history and its role in Indonesia’s political journey. He emphasized the importance of upholding democratic values and fostering political pluralism, echoing Golkar’s long-standing commitment to these principles.

Conclusion

The attendance of Jusuf Kalla and Agung Laksono at Golkar’s 60th anniversary celebration was a clear indication of the party’s enduring influence and relevance in Indonesian politics. Their presence and comments underscored Golkar’s historical role in fostering democratic values and encouraging political pluralism in the country. As Golkar looks ahead to the future, the presence of these prominent figures serves as a reminder of the party’s rich history and its ongoing commitment to Indonesia’s progress and development.
