    Golkar dan Lapindo

    MENYUSUL kekalahan pasangan Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa tahun 2014 lalu, Partai Golkar berada dalam posisi tersulit sepanjang sejarah republik ini. Golkar memiliki budaya politik untuk selalu merapat dan berkoalisi dengan pemegang kekuasaan. Di era Indonesia memilih presidennya secara langsung, kandidat Golkar selalu kalah. Namun, Golkar selalu berhasil memperkuat posisi politiknya untuk merapat pada kursi kekuasaan.

    Pada pemilihan presiden 2004, kandidat Golkar (Wiranto-Salahuddin Wahid) kalah di putaran pertama. Pada putaran kedua partai pun melimpahkan dukungannya kepada pasangan Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono-Jusuf Kalla. Kalla pun ditunjuk sebagai ketua umum partai periode 2004-2009. Sementara beberapa kader penting masuk dalam kabinet dan pelbagai posisi strategis lainnya.

    Pada tahun 2009, kandidat Golkar (Jusuf Kalla-Wiranto), lagi-lagi, kalah dalam pemilihan presiden satu putaran. Akan tetapi, Golkar berhasil mempertahankan posisinya sebagai partai pendukung sang penguasa. Salah satu kader kunci bagi keberhasilan itu adalah Aburizal Bakrie yang terpilih sebagai ketua umum partai, mengalahkan Surya Paloh dalam Munas di Riau, Pekanbaru, Oktober 2009.

    Di bawah pimpinan Aburizal, Golkar menginisiasi pembentukan Sekretariat Gabungan (Setgab) koalisi partai pendukung pemerintah dan Aburizal duduk sebagai ketuanya. Berangkat dari perjalanan semacam itu, kita dapat berkesimpulan bahwa dalam peta politik nasional, politisi Partai Golkar tidak pernah merasakan bagaimana menjadi oposisi.

    ‘Aburizalisasi Golkar’

    Tidak seperti zaman sebelumnya, Golkar mulai memperhitungkan kekuatan ‘figur’ (Aburizal) dan menggarapnya sebagai magnet partai. Rasionalisasinya adalah memperkokoh mesin partai warisan Orde Baru yang sudah berjalan baik.

    Untuk mencapai tujuan itu beberapa kader penting partai yang tidak sepaham dengan Aburizal dan ide-idenya diberhentikan. Sebagian lain memilih loncat ke partai lain. Mereka tidak sepakat dengan gerakan ‘Aburizalisasi Golkar,’ suatu gerakan menjadikan persoalan personal Aburizal menjadi persoalan kelembagaan partai. Salah satu yang paling kentara adalah, tentu saja, penggalangan dukungan partai atas kasus Lapindo.

    Sebagai ketua umum partai, Aburizal tidak perlu harus hadir sendiri untuk mengklarifikasi segala tuduhan publik terkait kasus Lapindo. Dia cukup memfungsikan kader partainya untuk menyuarakan kepentingannya. Hasilnya, kader dan simpatisan partai dari level nasional sampai level kampung telah disulap menjadi agen ‘normalisasi’ kasus Lapindo agar sesuai dengan versi Aburizal, dan Lapindo.

    Praktik ‘normalisasi’ itu dilakukan di pelbagai medan pertarungan kekuasaan. Yang paling masif adalah penggiringan opini di ruang-ruang publik. Di DPR, Golkar menginisiasi pendirian Tim Pengawas Penanggulangan Lumpur Sidoarjo (TP2LS) dan memimpinnya. Pada praktiknya, yang dimaksud ‘pengawasan’ adalah melancarkan pelbagai skema penyelesaian kasus Lapindo menuruti kepentingan Aburizal, dan Lapindo.

    Golkar adalah kunci bagi lolosnya pengalokasian dana APBN untuk Lapindo. Sejak 2007, trilyunan rupiah uang rakyat telah digelontorkan untuk menangani dan menutupi segala macam akibat dan ulah Lapindo. Tak hanya itu, di bawah kendali Golkar, DPR pun menyatakan lumpur Lapindo sebagai ‘bencana alam,’ alih-alih ‘bencana teknologi.’

    Di tingkat lokal, Golkar merekrut beberapa korban Lapindo yang haus kekuasaan menjadi kader partai. Para korban ditawari beragam posisi, mulai anggota legislatif (nasional, provinsi, dan kabupaten/kota) sampai kepala daerah (Sidoarjo), asalkan mereka menyuarakan dan mendukung Aburizal, dan Lapindo.

    Dengan demikian, Golkar telah menjadi alat yang sangat efektif bagi Aburizal bukan hanya untuk melakukan ‘normalisasi’ namun juga melepaskan diri dari kasus Lapindo.

    Hak angket Lapindo, untuk (si)apa?

    Beberapa pengamat politik memprediksikan bahwa pasca pesta demokrasi 2014 lalu Golkar akan mengulang pola yang terjadi sebelumnya, yakni merapat ke penguasa. Pola itu diputus oleh sikap Aburizal, sebagai ketua umum partai, yang bersikeras untuk tetap mendukung Koalisi Merah Putih pimpinan Partai Gerindra. Padahal Golkar mendapatkan suara lebih banyak ketimbang Gerindra.

    Sikap Aburizal itu memicu reaksi keras dari sebagian besar eksponen partai. Menjadi oposan bertentangan dengan budaya politik partai. Bibit resistensi pun berkembang, namun casus belli bagi konflik internal Golkar adalah Munas Bali yang memilih kembali Aburizal sebagai ketua umum. Beberapa kader penting mengklaim Munas Bali tidak sah. Mereka pun menggelar Munas tandingan di Jakarta dan mengangkat Agung Laksono sebagai ketua umum partai.

    Perseteruan internal Golkar berlanjut menjadi makin runyam ketika lembaga negara lain turun campur. Dalam pelbagai pernyataannya, Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla menyatakan dukungannya pada kubu Agung Laksono. Pernyataan itu sangat politis. Eksekutif membutuhkan dukungan dari parlemen bagi terlaksananya program. Tambahan suara dari Golkar di parlemen akan sangat menguntungkan bagi pemerintah. Dalam konteks tersebut, SK Menteri Hukum dan HAM No. M.HH-01.AH.11.01 (23 Maret) yang menyatakan kubu Agung sebagai kubu yang sah menjalankan Golkar sangat problematis.

    Kubu Aburizal mengajukan gugatan ke PTUN Jakarta yang pada 1 April lalu melemparkan putusan sela yang memerintahkan penundaan pemberlakuan SK tersebut. Selain itu, kubu Aburizal mewacanakan untuk melancarkan hak angket menggugat keputusan itu, yang langsung mendapatkan reaksi dari kubu Agung untuk menginisiasi hak angket untuk kasus Lapindo.

    Filsuf Prancis Jacques Derrida berpendapat bahwa dalam dunia politik hal paling sulit dalam politik bukanlah memperjuangkan kemerdekaan ‘liberté’ atau menciptakan kesetaraan ‘egalité, melainkan menjalin persaudaraan ‘fraternité.’Lewat buku Politics of Friendship (2005), Derrida mengungkapkan motif politik persaudaraan tidak murni sosial namun sangat pribadi: menyelamatkan diri sendiri.

    Berangkat dari argumen Derrida tentang politik persaudaraan, hak angket Lapindo – jika benar dilaksanakan – perlu dilihat sebagai strategi pendukung Agung Laksono untuk menyelamatkan diri dari kasus Lapindo. Caranya adalah melepaskan beban yang ditimpakan pada Golkar dan mengembalikannya ke pundak Aburizal. Wacana yang dipelihara dan disebarluaskan adalah ‘kasus Lapindo merupakan persoalan pribadi Aburizal dan perusahaannya, bukan persoalan Partai Golkar.’

    Kita berharap wacana hak angket Lapindo tidak berubah menjadi, apa yang disebut Derrida ‘simulakra,’ ruang yang diciptakan terlihat seolah-olah penting dan perlu bagi kepentingan bersama, namun sebenarnya hanya dibuat-buat untuk menutupi motif pribadi dari para penciptanya.

    Kita sangat mendukung pengusutan tuntas kasus Lapindo. Namun, kita juga berhak dan perlu bertanya: apakah hak angket akan efektif bagi tujuan itu? Kita harus terus mengingatkan pemerintah bahwa ada persoalan sangat mendesak untuk dilakukan: memulihkan dampak dan krisis sosial-ekologis akibat lumpur Lapindo.***

  • Head in the sand mentality bodes ill for Golkar

    If ever an organisation was in need of regeneration and a policy makeover, it would be Golkar. For all of its past history as the late president Suharto’s political machine, it remains the largest and best organised party in Indonesia, with the potential to dominate again.

    Yet, after surviving Suharto’s downfall in 1998, when at one point it looked to be going down with him, it has failed to come to terms with the democratic era and remains, 16 years later, rooted in the past and a prisoner of personalised politics.

    Under Vice-President Jusuf Kalla and now the increasingly-autocratic tycoon Aburizal Bakrie – both leftovers from Suharto’s New Order rule – the once all-powerful party has seen its share of the national vote plunge from 22 to 14 per cent.

    Now, after winning its lowest number of seats, failing to nominate Mr Bakrie as a presidential candidate and ending up in the opposition for the first time in its 50-year history, the party has elected him to a second term.

    Anywhere else, a political leader with that sort of record would have either resigned or been forced from office. But not Mr Bakrie – and not Golkar, where a winner-takes-all mentality continues to trump democratic decision-making.

    By calling last week’s Bali convention ahead of schedule and crafting rules that among other things did away with a secret ballot, Mr Bakrie was playing with a stacked deck that forced all six of his rivals out of the race.

    Leaving aside allegations of intimidation and payoffs, the final spectacle of all 543 provincial and district delegates voting for Mr Bakrie by acclamation could have been taken from the old New Order playbook.

    There was more to it than that, of course. As events have shown throughout this election season, the underlying motivation of some influential party elders in keeping Mr Bakrie in the driving seat has been purely personal.

    Advisory council head Akbar Tanjung could have joined the revolt against the chairman, but instead supported him – first in taking the party into Mr Prabowo Subianto’s majority opposition and now in his re-election.

    Like Mr Bakrie, Mr Akbar is miffed at President Joko Widodo for not choosing him as his running mate. But mostly he detests Mr Kalla for deposing him as chairman after the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono-Kalla ticket won the 2004 presidential election.

    That’s why, for all of his so-called peace-making efforts in Bali, he was clearly against Golkar entering Mr Joko’s ruling coalition, which would have been unlikely, in any case, to chop and change the new Cabinet to accommodate a latecomer.

    One of Mr Bakrie’s rivals, former House Speaker Agung Laksono, had already said he would join the government if he won. The others had the same thoughts, worried about the party’s chances in 2019 if the party stays in opposition.

    Among them were four politicians in their 40s and early 50s, led by deputy party treasurer Airlangga Hartarto and former vice-speaker Priyo Budi Santoso, who will now have to wait even longer to make a clean break with the past.

    Mr Bakrie’s motives are easier to understand. A wide body of opinion believes that without the chairmanship of Golkar, and its still-powerful influence over Indonesia’s political and business life, the tycoon is finished.

    That’s hard to swallow, particularly for someone as teflon-coated as Mr Bakrie, whose Indonesian ethnicism has helped him survive a face-off with Suharto, a near-bankruptcy and an environmental disaster. But it does explain the desperation with which he is clinging on.

    Certainly, there is nothing either he or Mr Kalla have done to set Golkar on a new path. Remembering the sparse largesse Mr Kalla offered during his earlier term as vice-president, many in the rank-and-file would have seen little to gain this time from following him into government.

    Mr Bakrie has understandably been less than generous too. Listed in 2007 as Forbes magazine’s richest Indonesian, with a net worth of US$5.4 billion (S$7 billion), his fortunes have slumped to a point where he didn’t even make this year’s Top 50.

    Not only did he fail to follow through on his 2009 promise of financing a 25-floor party headquarters and a 1 trillion rupiah (S$107 million) trust fund, but election candidates were also told to cough up for his expenses if they wanted him to campaign for them. Mr Bakrie appears to have redeemed himself somewhat with many of the regional branches by taking the leadership role in the opposition coalition and pushing through a law ending direct elections for governors, district chiefs and mayors.

    But it may come at a cost, with the formerly-supportive Democratic Party widely expected to change tack and vote for Dr Yudhoyono’s last-hour presidential decree – issued in response to a public outcry – which scraps the controversial legislation.

    The fallout from that could see the Democrats and perhaps the National Mandate Party moving to the centre and leaving the opposition without the majority it enjoys now. One Golker insider says: “It may be the undoing of the coalition.”

    As the consummate apparatchik, who helped rescue Golkar from the post-Suharto doldrums, Mr Akbar is no doubt aware that Mr Bakrie will lead Golkar nowhere, even if he has cut the size of the central board from 380 to a still-unwieldy 199.

    If Golkar falls into further disarray, it could well finish in single digits in 2019 – except for the fact that no other party, least of all Ms Megawati Sukarnoputri’s dithering Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle, looks capable of gaining any dominance.

    The bottom line to all this has become depressingly clear. While Indonesia’s citizens have wholeheartedly embraced democratic rule, the political parties have not. They remain locked in the past, constrained by vested and familial interests and unwilling to regenerate or move with the times.

    “The whole political party system needs an overhaul,” says one veteran Golkar politician. “The government should be part of the solution, but how does it do that without being interventionist?”

  • Bakrie 2019: The return of Soeharto

    Kornelius Purba

    Golkar Party chairman Aburizal Bakrie easily won his reelection as party boss in Bali this week because of, among other reasons, his convincing assurance that  he would make local party leaders in 415 cities and regencies and 34 provinces across the country become mayors, regents or governors. They would not need to make any preparations or woo voters. Voters would be meaningless. His mantra was enticing: let us repeat what Soeharto did for the country!

    During his 32-year rule, Soeharto’s Golkar completely controlled the country. Only Soeharto had the right to decide on regents, mayors and governors and on nearly all aspects of life in Indonesia. The glorious era of Soeharto and Golkar should be restored was the message in Bali. And Golkar is very close to the goal of reviving Soeharto’s heyday. Now, when party members want to get lucrative local government positions, they only need two things: Aburizal’s blessing and money!

    How about Aburizal’s own future? The business tycoon — some of his companies are reportedly facing serious financial problems — aims to replace President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo in 2019. Aburizal expects it to be a very smooth win. Even when 150 million voters do not want him to lead the country, he can ignore them. In 2019, Aburizal believes, Golkar will fully control the country at all levels. It will be very easy for him to get full control of the country into his own hands.

    Just ignore the Constitution, which mandates a direct presidential election. As the second-largest political party after the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Golkar, Aburizal firmly believes, will be the final arbiter in all political aspects of the country by means of indirect elections. There will be no more direct elections. Since 2005 Indonesian voters have had the right to directly elect their mayors, regents and governors. And since 2004, voters have had the right to choose their head of state and government. The Golkar-led Red-and-White Coalition rejects the people’s constitutional right.  

    Indonesians will be denied their right to determine the future of the nation. The coalition leaders apparently believe that God has entrusted Aburizal and the loser of the July presidential election, Prabowo Subianto, with the authority to abolish the direct-election system because it is too costly and too complicated for them (in their eyes, Indonesians are probably too stupid to practice democracy). Golkar under Aburizal’s leadership will take all necessary means to enforce the Law on Regional Elections. His success is almost guaranteed.  

    Shortly before ending his term of office in October, then president Susilo Bambang Yu-dhoyono issued a government regulation in lieu of law (Perppu) to annul the law that reinstated indirect local elections. To me, Yudhoyono is a traitor to our democracy. His Democratic Party fully supported the law. He became president for 10 years thanks to the direct-election system. He issued the Perppu simply because people were angry with his party’s support for the law. He is a great pretender; a genius soap opera actor.

    The law was supported by Golkar, the Democrats, Gerindra, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the National Mandate Party (PAN) and the United Development Party (PPP). The House of Representatives will decide the fate of the Perppu early next year and, Insya Allah (God willing) the Red-and-White Coalition believes, it will face no serious opposition to annulling the Perppu and restoring the indirect-election system.

    Let me give a few examples. Next year the popular Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini will end her first five-year term. She would easily win reelection under the direct-election system. But now chairman of Golkar’s Surabaya chapter Adies Kadir knows for sure he stands a great chance of taking over the mayor’s position simply with Aburizal’s consent and of course money. The money is needed to buy the votes of 50 members of Surabaya Legislative Council. It is much cheaper and easier for Adies because he does not need the votes of actual Surabaya citizens.  As long as the 50 legislators are happy with him, and as long as Aburizal likes him, Rismaharini can do nothing to beat him.

    Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama will end his term in 2017. From this point on Golkar chairman of Jakarta chapter Zainudin should accumulate his financial resources. Of course he must also make sure that Aburizal does not change his mind and pick another person to contest the 2017 gubernatorial election.

    Isn’t it so very easy? Thanks to Soeharto, Aburizal believes that he will also be able to pursue his dream of becoming president. In public of course he must hide his ambition. From now on he just needs to concentrate on how to amend the Constitution and in 2019 there will be no more direct presidential elections. The People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) will take over the voting right of Indonesians to elect their president. The MPR comprises the 560-member House and the 132-member Regional Representative Council.

    Changing the Constitution apparently is just a technicality for Aburizal, as he pointed out in a recent interview with a national newspaper how an indirect presidential election was possible.

    Aburizal only needs to find effective ways to eliminate his potential rivals, including Prabowo, in the 2019 (indirect) presidential election. With former Golkar chairman Akbar Tandjung as his chief advisor, it seems that Aburizal will not face any hurdles to realizing his promise and dream: indirect elections. The Jokowi camp, the Great Indonesia Coalition, is trying to weaken the Red-and-White Coalition. At least for a while, Aburizal and Prabowo are still in full control of the coalition. So, Soeharto’s complete return in 2019 is almost guaranteed.

  • Ical, Golkar, dan Lapindo

    Ical, Golkar, dan Lapindo

    SETELAH melalui berbagai polemik dan intrik, Aburizal Bakrie kembali terpilih sebagai ketua umum Partai Golkar untuk periode 2014–2019. Ical, sapaan Aburizal Bakrie, terpilih secara aklamasi melalui munas yang diselenggarakan di Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali (3/12). Apa lagi yang dicari Ical di Partai Golkar?

    Dulu para pengusaha punya prinsip jangan menaruh telur dalam satu keranjang. Biasanya, pengusaha ”menaruh” kakinya di beberapa partai sekaligus. Selain menyokong partai A, juga menyumbang partai B. Meski menjadi pengurus partai C, juga diam-diam membeli ”saham” di partai D. Itu dulu. Sekarang perilaku politik para saudagar berubah.

    Kini pengusaha cenderung menaruh telurnya di satu keranjang. Lihat saja Ical di Partai Golkar dan Surya Paloh di Partai Nasdem. Hary Tanoesoedibjo ikut ”basah” di politik setelah adiknya tersangkut kasus hukum di KPK. Dia sempat ngebet memimpin Nasdem meski akhirnya menyingkir, walaupun sudah keluar dana miliaran rupiah. Politikus baru itu kemudian masuk Hanura dan dijadikan bakal calon wakil presiden.

    Kalau dipikir, orang seperti Ical dengan kekayaan yang melimpah ruah lebih enak menjadikan parpol sebagai hobi. Tak perlu ngoyojadi capres atau memimpin partai dengan segala cara.

    Pakar ekonomi politik James Buchanan memunculkan teori pilihan rasional (rational choice theory) untuk menggambarkan bahwa merupakan sebuah pilihan rasional bila seseorang yang terjun ke politik memperjuangkan kepentingan pribadinya (Deliarnov, 2006). Jadi, jangan heran bila artikulasi kepemimpinan Ical di Partai Golkar tidak mungkin merugikan Grup Bakrie. Misalnya dalam kasus lumpur Lapindo.

    Ketika Ical menjadi ketua umum Partai Golkar periode 2009–2014, partai berlambang pohon beringin itu berupaya agar pemerintah mengambil alih pembayaran ganti rugi korban lumpur Lapindo. Sebelumnya, Partai Golkar juga berupaya keras agar kasus Lapindo dianggap sebagai bencana alam. Intinya, Partai Golkar berupaya agar beban perusahaan Grup Bakrie itu bisa seringan mungkin untuk kasus lumpur Sidoarjo.

    Lapindo masih berutang Rp 781 miliar. Juga, perusahaan itu sudah angkat tangan karena sebelumnya sudah mengucurkan uang Rp 9 triliun lebih untuk ganti rugi korban Lapindo. Gara-gara itu, utang Grup Bakrie meningkat tajam. Kekuatan politik yang dimiliki Ical bisa menjadi penopang bisnis keluarga Bakrie.

    Terlepas dari semua itu, yang harus diutamakan sekarang adalah bagaimana ganti rugi bagi korban Lapindo bisa dituntaskan. Pemerintah harus merelakan APBN Rp 781 miliar untuk memberikan kepastian bagi korban Lapindo. Setelah itu, silakan pemerintah menagih ke Lapindo. Kalau bisa. (*)

  • Takut Golkar Kalah, Lapindo Diminta Lunasi Utang

    Takut Golkar Kalah, Lapindo Diminta Lunasi Utang

    TEMPO.COJakarta – Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan Partai Golkar Akbar Tandjung meminta PT Minarak Lapindo Jaya menyelesaikan kewajiban pembayaran utang kepada korban lumpur Lapindo di Sidoarjo, Jawa Timur. Akbar khawatir jika tak diselesaikan dengan segera, kasus Lapindo akan berpengaruh jelek bagi Golkar pada Pemilu 2014.

    “Ini memang kenyataan. Sampai hari ini (Lapindo) memang belum selesai,” kata Akbar saat ditemui di kediamannya, Jakarta, Senin, 6 Januari 2014. Akbar mengatakan, saat ini masih ada warga terdampak yang belum memperoleh hak seperti keinginan mereka.

    Dia mengatakan peristiwa Lapindo melibatkan koorporasi yang dimiliki Grup Bakrie. Oleh karena itu, kasus ini tak bisa dilepaskan dari citra perusahaan, termasuk Aburizal Bakrie sebagai pemimpin tertinggi perusahaan. Aburizal kini merupakan Ketua Umum Partai Golkar. “Sehingga hal ini berdampak pada citra beliau,” kata dia.

    Akbar menuturkan, perusahaan awalnya berjanji akan menyelesaikan pada Mei 2013, kemudian diundur hingga November 2013. Namun hingga tahun 2013 berakhir, rupanya tunggakan ini tak kunjung diselesaikan. Akbar khawatir jika sampai pada hari H Pemilu 2014 masalah ini tak tuntas, kasus Lapindo akan memberatkan Golkar. “Tak hanya berdampak pada Aburizal, tetapi juga bagi Golkar,” kata dia.

    Sebelumnya, Ketua Partai Golkar Priyo Budi Santoso menyatakan kasus lumpur Lapindo seakan-akan menjadi dosa bawaan partainya. Apalagi dia akan maju sebagai calon anggota Dewan dari daerah pemilihan Kota Surabaya dan Kabupaten Sidoarjo.
