GOVT NOT WORRIED ABOUT LOSING GOLKAR, PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN SAYS
Jakarta, Feb 15 (ANTARA) - The government has not seen until now the possibility of Golkar Party leaving the coalition, presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said here on Monday.
He said the government meanwhile also was not worried following a recent statement from Golkar executive Priyo Budi Santoso that Golkar would rather leave the coalition than weakening its stance with regard to the investigation of the Century Bank bailout case by the House committee.
"The government has not seen the possibility of the development going in the direction. It is neither worried over the problem," he said.
Julian said the government still considered the situation conducive for reaching understanding with regard to unveiling the truth in the case.
He said although the President had heard Priyo's statement he did not give any response to it.
What is clear is President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono remains putting forward the importance of disclosing the truth of the case by the committee, he said.
On the relations between President Yudhoyono as the Democrat Party's chief patron and Golkar Party general chairman Aburizal Bakries he said the two still continued making communications.
In a discussion forum last week Priyo said it would be better for Golkar to resign from the government's coalition than having to weaken its stance towards the Century Bank case in the inquiry committee.
Priyo also said that Golkar would not just follow the Democrat Party with regard to the committee's final say on the issue which would be made known early next month.
Regarding the statement from the United Development Party (PPP) that the party had been disappointed following the naming of its cadres as suspects in corruption cases Julian said there was no political element involved with regard to the case handling.
"We considered the legal processes that occurred as mere legal procedures while law enforcers are just carrying out their task as professionally as possible. So, there has not been any politicization," he said.
Julian also called against linking the attack at the Bendera organization's headquarters recently with politics, moreover to the presidential palace and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
"The national police's crimes and intelligence agency has already stated that it is a pure crime. So referring to the police's statement the incident is not related with politics moreover the President," he said.
Julian declined to comment when asked about a terror incident experienced by a member of the Century Bank inquiry committee.
