Commission III of the House of Representatives the past few days on a working visit to the village Wadas, Purworejo, Central Java (Central Java). Commission III of the DPR found a number of facts from the visit to Wadas Village, including the blockage of the dialogue room and the existence of acts of violence from the apparatus.
“Well, there are several things that we got. First, we saw that actually the entire community of Wadas Village became victims, victims due to the blockage of the dialogue room when they were faced with the choice of whether or not their land was willing to be used as a stone quarry as raw material for the construction of a dam,” he said. member of Commission III of the DPR, Taufik Basar, when asked for confirmation regarding the visit to Wadas Village, Friday (11/2/2022).
“So Wadas Village is not a place where a dam will be inundated, no, not a place where a dam will be built. But a place for raw materials to build the dam,” added Taufik.
Taufik then explained the reason for calling Wadas Village residents victims. According to him, Wadas residents are now divided because they are faced with the choice of whether or not their village will be used as a raw material for the construction of the Bener Dam.
“Why are they all victims? Because with conditions like this they are divided, they used to live together, full of kinship, they must have different choices,” said Taufik.
Taufik said the situation in Wadas Village was exacerbated because the approach used was not a dialogue approach. As a result, said the politician who is often called Tobas, there was a thought in the community that those who rejected the construction of the dam did not act like the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
“This situation is further exacerbated by the incident on 8 (February) yesterday, because when there was a desire to take measurements, the approach used was unfortunately not a dialogical approach. So why did it get worse? said Tobas.
“This is an example, when we visit people who agree to sell their land, when they introduce themselves they call themselves ‘we are people who agree, people who are NKRI’, like that right. We immediately straightened it out, ‘we are all NKRI, whether we agree or disagree with the NKRI, don’t be like that’, we said that,” he continued.
