Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Lawyer Yusril Ihza Mahendra admits to being concerned about the actions of politicians Democratic party Rachland Nashidik was like a man at his wits’ end for constantly attacking him lately.
He conveyed this in response to Rachland’s statement that brought up Democratic assistance to bring his son Yuri Kemal Fadlullah to be a participant in the 2020 East Belitung Regional Head Election. Yusril also mentioned the name of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).
“As Mr. SBY said, “I am concerned”. Me too, sir. I am concerned about Rachland Nasidik’s ramblings, as if people have run out of words to say,” Yusril said to CNNIndonesia.com, Tuesday (28/9).
Yusril assessed that Rachland had panicked recently after he became a lawyer for four former Democratic cadres to sue the Democratic AD/ART to the Supreme Court.
Yusril suggested that Rachland should focus on dealing with this lawsuit rather than continuing to talk in the media.
“Those who applied for testing to the MA were 4 PD cadres whom they fired, not me. I am not an applicant. I am a lawyer. Moeldoko is also not an Applicant,” said Yusril.
Separately, the Secretary General of the Crescent Star Party, Adriansyah Ferry Noor, defended Yusril regarding the Democrats’ efforts to bring back Yusril’s son in the Pilkada. Yusril himself is still the Head of the United Nations.
Afriansyah also mentioned that the chairman of the Democratic High Council, SBY, would not have been able to become president if he had not been assisted by the United Nations in 2004.
“If we can bring it up again, in 2004 the United Nations supported SBY as a presidential candidate. As the only Islamic party, if there is no PBB, SBY does not necessarily become president,” said Afriansyah.
Afriansyah then thanked the Democrats for carrying Yuri in the East Belitung Pilkada. However, he assessed that Yuri could still advance at that time even though he did not get support from the Democrats.
“But even though the Democrats don’t give support, Yuri’s PBB has already got 17 seats and it exceeds the quota. If the Democrats don’t stretch out 1 seat, Mr. Yuri also has no problem. Because the name is politics, we all embrace it at that time,” he said.
Before the smell, Rachland questioned the reason why Yusril wanted to become a lawyer for the democratic cadres who were pro against Moeldoko.
He considered Yusril to have benefited from the Democratic AD/ART. Namely when Yuri Kemal Fadlullah became a participant in the East Belitung Regional Election in 2020. At that time, Yuri was carried by the Democrats.
“Yusril has benefited from the Democratic AD/ART when he has an interest in his son’s political career,” said Rachland in a written statement, Tuesday (28/9).
