Sunday, 16 August 2009 09:14

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will have a bigger political capital to make many breakthroughs in the future, his spokesman Dino Patti Djalal said in Jakarta on Friday.  Dino admitted in his administration period of 2004-2009 SBY, as the president is popularly called, had encountered a lot of political constraints because his Democratic Party only secured six percent of the votes in the 2004 legislative election so that he had to make many compromises.  According to Dino, right now the political situation has changed. The Democratic Party has become the largest party with 20 percent of the votes so that decisions are in the hands of SBY. The situation in the next five years will be different. SBY will come out with different energy and spirit.

After the political capital was no longer a problem, SBY would in the next five years think of working better for the interest of the state and the nation until 2014.  Dino also said SBY's quality of leadership had been proven by his ability to maintain the standard of performance of his cabinet for the past five years so that his administration continued to run well despite his occupation with regard to the elections this year.  He further said the most important part of his state-of-the-nation address before the parliament on Friday was his statement that Indonesia had no enemies in the world and no country in the world saw the country as an enemy.    rri.co.id-voi/dd
