The statement of former Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), who feels accused of being the mastermind behind the violent demonstrations against the omnibus law on the Employment Creation Law, is considered a victim of gambling. SBY was also asked not to overdo it.
“It is also problematic to accuse each other without any solid evidence. SBY may just feel like, or enjoy playing the victim role. You don’t need to be too reactionary, let alone play a role as if they are wronged, and people will identify. This it’s getting worse, “Voxpol Research and Consulting Center executive director Pangi Syarwi Chaniago told reporters on Wednesday (10/14/2020).
Pangi considered that SBY was overly sensitive in dealing with these accusations. According to him, the government also did not mention SBY’s name as the mastermind behind the riots.
“As long as no names are mentioned, whoever feels accused of being the mastermind, of course it is just a fairy tale and unwarranted accusation, there is no need to answer. I see SBY too reactive or too sensitive. Do any of the Palace mentioned names that SBY was considered a riot or a mastermind? Intellectuals behind the omnibus law? If the Democratic Party rejects the omnibus law, that is correct, “he said.

Furthermore, Pangi said that accusing each other would only make the situation worse and disturb political stability. He called on the political elite to hold back and not cause divisions.
“Now what is needed is how each of these high-ranking elites embeds the language of unity and national integrity, not the language of division, which provokes and is too reactionary to respond to accusations that are also invalid, just assumptions. , wild perceptions and accusations that do not have solid proof and reasons. fairy tales, “said Pangi.

Contacted separately, KedaiKOPI political observer Hendri Satrio assessed that SBY and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) should meet openly so as not to accuse each other. The issue of mutual prosecution is considered a big problem if it is not resolved.

“Just show it with a meeting in front of the public between high-ranking officials, national figures. I meet in public, you know, chatting. This is a big problem. The Employment Creation Law, there are controversies and others. Yes, that’s it, sir. Jokowi, there is Pak SBY, there is Bu Mega, all right, just get together to solve this problem so you don’t accuse each other, “Hendri said.
According to Hendri, the issue of the accusations can be resolved through deliberation. If the figures accuse each other, Hendri said, it will have an impact on society.
“It is getting more and more confusing for people, this is already COVID, the economy is bad, there are national figures accusing them again, it is not right. It is fine, just resolved, meeting, deliberation and consensus like typical Indonesians,” He said.
