        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 Democratic Party Chairman Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, known\nas AHY, has reminded opposition parties that their role is to provide\nconstructive input and criticism, not to divide the nation. \u201cWhen in\nopposition, of course, there is an interest in offering views, even\ncriticism, but it must be constructive and accompanied by solutions. It\nmust not divide the nation or discredit everything as if it were all\nwrong,\u201d AHY told reporters at the Parliament Complex in Senayan,\nJakarta, on Monday, 22 June 2026. \u201cHowever, when there is something that\nis correct and represents the people\u2019s aspirations, the government must\nalso listen and be willing to conduct evaluations,\u201d he added. On the\nother hand, he said he respects the stance of political parties,\nincluding the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which is\nin opposition. Nevertheless, he stressed that national interests must be\nplaced above personal interests. \u201cI respect all political parties that\nhave certain attitudes and views. Everyone has an agenda, everyone has\ninterests. But let us place our shared and national interests above\npartisan interests,\u201d AHY stated. AHY emphasised that the Democratic\nParty also has experience being in opposition. \u201cWe have also been in\nopposition, so the Democratic Party can be said to have a complete set\nof experience and track record. We are grateful for all of that,\u201d he\nsaid. He assessed that Indonesia\u2019s democracy will be healthy, partly due\nto PDIP\u2019s presence as a balancing force. AHY also advised all Democratic\nParty members in the House of Representatives (DPR RI) to maintain\nparliamentary harmony and provide positive input to the government. \u201cSo\nI see our democracy will grow and be healthy, even more mature, if such\na spirit is present. Checks and balances are also a necessity in any\ndemocracy, regardless of political choice. Furthermore, the Democratic\nParty also has the spirit to continue providing the best input, which\ncomes from the people, and hopefully we can continue to safeguard this\nin Indonesia\u2019s political and democratic life,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
