Hot Debate of Andi Mallarangeng vs Ngabalin in chaotic Democrats

Jakarta –

Secretary of the Upper House Democratic party (PD) Andi Mallarangeng engaged in heated debates with KSP members Ali Mochtar Ngabalin related to the event that was claimed to be the Democratic Extraordinary Congress (KLB). Yang Andi and Ngabalin argue about President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

How did the heated debate between Andi and Ngabalin come about?

In a discussion entitled ‘Later We Tell the Democrats of the Day’ which was broadcast on the MNC Trijaya YouTube channel, Saturday (6/3/2021), Andi discussed the communication between a President and people in his circle. The context that Andi talked about was between President Jokowi and the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) Moeldoko.

As is known, Moeldoko was appointed as the General Chairperson (Ketum) inside KLB Demokrat which was held in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra (North Sumatra). Moeldoko also accepted the KLB decision.

“For me, why do people like those in the inner circle of the President meet the President every day, do they want to be a party chairman, can we talk first? We don’t ask for permission, can’t we talk,” said Andi.

Concerns then came to Andi’s mind. The former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) is worried that President Jokowi’s government will allow its ‘people’ to interfere with other parties.

“And if it is true that it is done and then there is no (prevention), and it is allowed to do so, I am afraid that the Jokowi administration will allow these kinds of incidents, allowing the intervention of people in power. The position of Pak Moeldoko is Chief of Presidential Staff, that is a political position Then carry out political movements, “said Andi.

“Well, this is because of the position, who has a superior boss or because of himself, how to distinguish that? We are actually waiting for what Pak Jokowi wants to say. We have sent a letter, really. But until now there has been no answer,” he continued.

Andi’s statement was what made Ngabalin react. Hot debate could not be avoided.

“From the start, I told you never to dream and drag Jokowi into trivial matters like this. If you understand politics, from the start, the internal consolidation must be solid from the start,” said Ngabalin when contacted, Sunday (7/3). ).

Satire then came out of Ngabalin’s mouth. The former member of the DPR RI for the 2004-2009 period asked the Democrat Party elites not to indulge in thoughts that indicated panic.

“Do not associate it with the government, with the state, with Jokowi, with the Palace. Already, close bland thoughts, panic thoughts, thoughts that link other people. From the beginning I said,” said Ngabalin.

“So if there are people for the KLB, the government must step in to take care of internal problems. Yes, internal party people, internal people. Why should President Joko Widodo be involved, dragging around,” he added.
