        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Executive Chairman of the Gerindra Party Sufmi\nDasco Ahmad says the statement by President Prabowo Subianto, which\nexpressed appreciation for criticism from the PDI Perjuangan (PDI-P),\nwas a sincere expression. According to Dasco, Prabowo\u2019s remarks when\ndelivering a speech at the DPR RI plenary session were spoken from the\ndeepest part of his heart, both as president and as Gerindra\u2019s chairman.\n\u2018Yes, what the President said obviously we know just now, and if we look\nat it, it came from the deepest part of his heart,\u2019 Dasco said when\nasked at the DPR Building, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday (20\/5\/2026).\nHe said the PDIP\u2019s stance is important to safeguard democracy and the\ngovernment\u2019s oversight function. \u2018And the praise to the PDIP Chairwoman\nMegawati and to PDIP is a sincere expression. And praise for what was\nsubsequently said by the President to revive democracy,\u2019 he said. \u2018And\nthen the constructive criticism that has long been carried out by PDIP\nfriends in Parliament, which has been ongoing during the Prabowo\ngovernment,\u2019 Dasco said. Earlier it was reported that Prabowo admitted\nhe often felt emotional when receiving strong criticism from PDIP\nmembers who are outside the government. This was stated by Prabowo\nduring the plenary DPR session with the macroeconomic framework and main\npolicy for fiscal policy (KEM-PPKF) agenda. \u2018Sometimes I feel sad at\nnight before sleep; the PDIP members\u2019 criticisms are sometimes very\nharsh,\u2019 Prabowo said, which was met with laughter from participants.\n\u2018But I realise over time perhaps there is a basis; there is a saying\nthat if someone reminds us, even though we don\u2019t like warnings, they\nactually save us, fellow citizens,\u2019 he added. Prabowo also conveyed\nthanks to the PDI-P for being regarded as playing a role in safeguarding\ndemocracy through checks and balances outside the government. \u2018Actually\nI would like to thank the PDI-P. You have contributed to our democracy,\u2019\nhe said.<\/p>",
