Democrats Party Cadres Aware Of Delegitimazation

Jakarta (Antara Bali) - A ruling Democrats Party leader urged cadres here on Tuesday to be  on the alert for efforts to delegitimize the party and its chief, Anas Urbaningrum.

Michael Wattimena, the secretary of the party faction in the House of Representatives (DPR), told newsmen that under current conditions all party cadres are to become more solid and would not even disclose the party's shortcomings to the public.

He recalled that chief patron Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had also  many times called for ending disputes that emerged during the party congress and appealed to all sides to prepare for the future.

"This is like an anomaly. I do not know for sure, but I feel as if it is being designed to make the image of party chief Anas Urbaningrum and the Democrats Party appear bad. The accusations addressed to them have so far been irrational and tendentious, while the party chief and secretary general have made maximum consolidation efforts by visiting regions at least three times a month," he said.(IGT)
