Economic Expert Warns of the Dangers of Shadow Politics in Indonesia
Senior economist Didik J. Rachbini has issued an important warning regarding the current national political climate. He highlighted the existence of what is termed 'shadow politics,' which is considered capable of disrupting governmental stability.
According to Didik, this practice of shadow politics must be stopped immediately to maintain the health of the presidential system in Indonesia. He argues that a healthy system of government must operate transparently and in accordance with applicable legal regulations.
In his view, the involvement of parties outside the official structure in decision-making can create uncertainty. There is concern that this will hinder the democratic process and cause public policy to lose focus on the interests of the broader community.
Didik emphasized that every national leader must run the government openly. By avoiding behind-the-scenes political practices, it is hoped that public trust in state institutions can be well maintained.
In closing, this issue serves as a reminder to all elements of the nation regarding the importance of maintaining the integrity of the government system. Transparency and adherence to regulations are the main keys to ensuring that the future of Indonesian democracy remains strong and stable.
