No name Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Jusuf Kalla, Prabowo Subianto, Sutiyoso or Rizal Mallarangeng in Ciganjur, 1998 Pleasant. Only four names, namely, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Sukarnoputri, Amien Rais and Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X in there. They really tacky umpteen million people, because kiprahnya inject ethics and infuse the change in this country.
Ciganjur in-a sizable difficult to track the map four-man berembug, rack the brain to formulate attitude after the authoritarian regime collapse. Since the reform wave hall campus to the street. But, how filled, this is a problem that runyam less thought-even by students, actors penjebol power Soeharto.
Group Ciganjur or axis Ciganjur, trying to guide the direction of reform. Insistence that the national leadership (BJ Habibie, Soeharto-connection) immediately replaced uncovered. So, the election also accelerated! 1999, presidential election is still via the MPR. Habibie is still keen perpetuate power. Unfortunately, the political wind is not menguntungkannya. Because the House rejected accountability, Habibie right back.
Amien Rais had offered to replace forward to the presidential election session. But, I did refuse, as tied commitments with the Central axis to promote the Gus Dur as president. Blessing expertise Amien Rais, Megawati Sukarnoputri, who diusung PDIP (winner of the election), must be satisfied as vice president. Gus Dur presiden. Gus Dur president. Meanwhile, Sri Sultan there is no political revolution in 1999.
2004, Sri Sultan began to take a seat of the Republic of Indonesia. Medan dicobanya Golkar convention. However, total failure. Even later, skipper party, Akbar Tandjung was forced to surrender Wiranto. Finally Golkar promote the Wiranto-Salahuddin Wahid to The Pilpres 2004. Amien also advanced. And Gus Dur terganjal, even before the party started, because no qualified physical health. Not exponent axis Ciganjur successful. Not also the incumbent, Megawati Sukarnoputri. Rather SBY. Name of popularity was high at that time. SBY is the reverse political tradition that is at relies on the very political party to the political popularity!
Ciganjur leaders of the four, two people have a taste of RI 1. And, now Sri Sultan showed strong ambition to lead the Republic. Pisowanan Ageng, the place most demonstratif from a Sultan to rip the road to the State Palace. Sri Sultan tried to broaden the support base. Although one foot in the Golkar Party, the Sultan opened the door to the other political party to support. Come RepublikaN Party, or Party of the Republic of the archipelago meminangnya. But, SOKO teachers from all over the Sultan is the people (people) of Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta tersihir by history as a special area. People for the Sultan of Yogyakarta, not much different with people Nahdliyyin for Gus Dur.
And the Sultan of Yogyakarta is the name that is tied with the history-more precisely the history monarkhi maintained until now. Republic had much in Yogya, when after the proclamation, Sultanate of Yogyakarta and the Duchy Pakualaman states to join in the national unity. President Soekarno reply, with a special status in Yogyakarta. Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX (the father Sultan now) and Paku Alam VIII and was appointed as the governor and deputy governor.
This latter status shaky when there is a suggestion that the governor / deputy governor selected (direct democracy) as other provinces. But, again, the people of Yogya terusik. They still want the Sultan (King of Yogyakarta) is entitled automatically lead Yogyakarta. This difficult choice for the republic, standing between history and pursue democracy. However, President SBY act wisely. He extended the tenure of Sri Sultan of three years until the legal umbrella for the complete status of Yogyakarta.
However, the sound of other people of Yogyakarta said. The King hoped not only lead the region. Tapi menakhodai Republik. The Republic found. Will the historical destiny to lead the Sultan of the State Palace. Or he will follow his father to become the Vice President (during Soerharto). Sure, there has been no major political party in the near Sultan. Even Golkar Party (the political home of Sultan), less comfortable with the steps that impressed the Sultan of play themselves.
Sultan is history, he monarkhi symbol, or even government aristokrat feudalism (which unfortunately still survive) in the ground water. However, sosoknya can be a mirror to see the Republic of the trip. I do not know whether this Republic will still provide too much in Yogyakarta?
