Academics also criticized the attempt to return to the original text of the 1945 Constitution |
What has happened is precisely the increase in economic disparity and the strengthening of the grip of the economic oligarchy to control and hold power hostage. This system is also increasingly producing injustice that transcends boundaries and is the cause of structural impoverishment from Sabang to Merauke.
"This is why the state budget is always minus and covered by debt with high interest. Non-tax state revenue is not comparable and very far from the potential wealth of Indonesia's earth, water and space. Ironically, some of the debt money has been used for routine financing and debt interest payments, " he explained, during an FGD with academics themed Roadmap to Return to Zero Point of the Proclamation of August 17, 1945 Based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution at UC UGM Building, Yogyakarta (17/1).
This happened, added LaNyalla, because Market Sovereignty had replaced State Sovereignty. The economy is not structured by the State, but allowed to be structured by free market mechanisms.
"That's why there is no choice. The system emergency caused by the 2002 Constitutional Amendment accident must be ended by returning to the original formulation of the state system and the Pancasila economic system," he said. LaNyalla voiced the idea of returning the original text of the 1945 Constitution to be perfected through an addendum.

The DPR RI must also be filled in by individual representatives from non-political parties |
In fact, this senator from East Java proposed changing the original system through an addendum technique, so that individual election participants entered as part of the DPR RI. "So that decisions in the DPR RI, especially those related to the drafting of laws, are not only determined by political parties," he explained.
While the Regional Envoys are still filled with regional envoys, who ideally are inhabited by the Kings and Sultans of the Archipelago. Meanwhile, Group Delegates are filled by delegates from Organizations and Professionals.
So, continued LaNyalla, regional envoys and group envoys must be given the right to provide considerations that must be received by the DPR RI in drafting laws. This is at the same time strengthening the function of Public Meaningful Participation.
"So that the end result is, we strengthen the state system that has been formulated by the founders of the nation, without changing the structure or construction of the state system, where the incarnation of the people must be in the Highest Institution of the State," he said (ma).
