T
he Red-and-White Coalition has maintained its stance that it will not cave in to demands by the rival Great Indonesia Coalition regarding amendments to the 2014 Legislative Institutions (MD3) Law.
Deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Agus Hermanto of the Democratic Party, said that political factions in the Red-and-White Coalition had rejected the proposal from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P)-led coalition generated by a series of talks held to end the monthlong standoff at the legislative body.
'Many of us could not meet the demands, which keep piling up,' he said, as quoted by tribunnews.com.
In addition to an earlier request for leadership positions in the House's 16 internal bodies, including its 11 commissions, the Great Indonesia Coalition has made a new demand to include a change in lawmakers' rights, in particular in relation to questioning the government, as stipulated in the MD3 Law and a House internal regulation.
