According to Hatta, even if PAN was in the government it did not mean that PAN would not be critical. Because PAN is a party that was born in a momentum of Reformasi. “We were born in a major reform agenda, we were not born as a result of a reform, but we are part of the initiators of reform, Mr. President (Jokowi) said that reform has brought some people into the comfort zone so that it seems that these changes have stalled,” said Hatta in his speech at PAN’s 22nd Anniversary at the PAN DPP Office at Jalan Amil No. 7, Kalibata, Pancoran, Jakarta, Sunday (23/8/2020).

The former Chairman of the PAN (Ketum) explained that the essence of reform is a change, different from a revolution whose changes are so fast and drastic that they are difficult to control. Reform is a planned change and the direction and where it is known is known. However, every change will always have an effect, as in the law of thermodynamics that every change will cause entropy. “It is the same as in social life, every change will create a zone of disorder and even have an effect that is contrary to progress,” he explained.

Therefore, Hatta emphasized that PAN should not be avoided because reforms have an entropy effect that slows down reforms. PAN must overcome this entropy because this is a humanitarian task so that how reform can continue to run, however, obstacles, chaos and entropy can be overcome. PAN has a historical task in matters like this. “PAN takes a leading role in overcoming this problem. That is the first, we will continue, the reform agenda will continue while overcoming entropy, “said Hatta.
The former Coordinating Minister for the Economy also quoted the statement of former Vice President (Wapres) Boediono “is not only the prison and crisis but also paralyzed” that is, a state of being suddenly frozen and unable to do anything about it. However, according to him, the situation had not yet reached that point and this crisis situation could lead to a humanitarian crisis. Because, on one side of health and one side of the economy, PAN’s job is to help the government and all Indonesian people who have been severely affected by this crisis. “It’s not just us, the world is in crisis. Therefore, our role must be increased in a context like this. Ketum several times to say please, give us our support. Because this is what is considered real work. When our nation experiences a crisis, that is our role, ”he said. (Also read: Soetrisno Bachir wants PAN to make a big leap in 2024)
However, Jokowi’s former competitor in the 2014 presidential election emphasized that PAN’s support for the government does not mean that PAN is within the government. Likewise, if PAN is in the government, it does not mean that PAN will not be critical. But more on PAN’s support for the nation and state in facing various problems.
“We support the government doesn’t mean that we have to be (This does not mean that PAN has to be) in government, just as if we are in government it does not mean that we are not critical. When we are not with the government, we support our government, we support our nation in overcoming problems, if we are in the government we cannot let go of our criticism. That is the character, the attitude of PAN, “he said. * kiswondari
