JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – The involvement of state officials in the takeover action of political parties is considered to have made Indonesia’s democracy deteriorate further.
A political observer who is also the founder of the survey institute SMRC, Saiful Mujani, called this action a setback for democracy in Indonesia.
“Pak Moeldoko is a state official at the Presidential Palace, the Presidential Staff, it’s a very strategic office that is directly related to the president. My concern is that state institutions should not be partisan, ”said Saiful.

Saiful assessed that the involvement of the Chief of KSP Moeldoko in the takeover of the Democratic Party could be an agenda to reduce the number of government opposition.
“Now, if the democrats are taken over by Pak Moeldoko, they will definitely join the coalition. So only one PKS is left with the strength of about 8 percent in the parliament, which will scream without anyone hearing, “continued Saiful.
