**Prabowo – Megawati Meeting Plan Not About Government Support in Upcoming Kongres**
The political landscape in Indonesia is abuzz with anticipation as rumors swirl about a possible meeting between PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri and President Prabowo Subianto. However, Vice Chairman of PKB, Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal, has clarified that this meeting is not about garnering government support, as many may speculate.
Stability Over Politics
Cucun emphasized that the meeting between these two prominent figures is primarily aimed at ensuring political stability in the country. Regardless of their national stature, what matters most is maintaining stability, regardless of the positions they hold. This sentiment was echoed by Cucun in the parliamentary complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Friday (17/1/2025).
He further explained that PKB respects Prabowo’s engagements with various national figures, highlighting the importance of such interactions for the greater good of the nation.
Speculation and Support
Cucun urged all parties not to jump to conclusions about the purpose of the meeting. He stressed that it is crucial not to speculate about the government’s need for support or any other agenda that may not align with the true intentions behind this high-profile rendezvous.
In terms of PDIP’s potential involvement in the government or otherwise, Cucun chose to remain neutral, stating that it is entirely PDIP’s prerogative to decide their path.
The Emotional Connection
Said Abdullah, Chairman of DPP PDIP, expressed hope that the meeting between Megawati and Prabowo would take place before the upcoming PDIP Congress in April 2025. Recognizing the deep bond between the two leaders, Said emphasized the significance of their meeting in quelling unnecessary political discord.
He emphasized that the relationship between Megawati and Prabowo should not be reduced to mere political maneuvers, urging for a deeper appreciation of the mutual respect and understanding they share.
As preparations for the PDIP Congress unfold, Said underscored the importance of honoring Prabowo as a guest of honor, symbolizing a bridge between different political realms.
In a poignant plea, Said requested that the genuine rapport between Megawati and Prabowo be cherished for what it is – a testament to the integrity and character of these two influential figures, far beyond the realm of political gamesmanship.
