Your comments on the recent reconciliation meeting between Golkar Party's two conflicting sides and their decision to support President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo's government:
I want to remind everyone that Golkar politicians recruited into Jokowi's Cabinet should have capability and guts.
Eddy Arjuna Zainy
It's time to ask if the Golkar election program was the same as the PDI-P election program? Or are the political platforms and programs there to simply stipulate how to get into power?
Taco Immanuel De Vies
Not only Golkar but all parties have to join the government. Nonetheless, all parties should remain critical, including those supporting Jokowi. PDI-P figures such as Effendi Simbolon and Maruarar Sirait have criticized Pak Jokowi. Well done.
Eduard Iseli
Golkar as a political party should fully support the nation in every way possible. Internal problems should not in any way interfere with their prime function of supporting the nation.
Political parties need to grow and nurture strong members to participate in the promotion of national unity based on economic and cultural emancipation.
We have wasted time these past seven decades. Corruption has dragged us all down the drain.
Let us wake up and start anew with the empowerment of all.
There are many smart figures in Golkar. Their contribution could very well accelerate national development.
