Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Hary Tanoesoedibyo, yang baru pindah dari Partai Nasdem, mengharapkan partai tempat bernaungnya sekarang, Hanura, merupakan partai politik bersih atau tidak terlibat kasus korupsi.

"Ini juga yang menjadi pertimbangan karena saya lihat Hanura merupakan partai yang bersih, semoga kedepannya tetap demikian dan tidak ada yang terlibat kasus korupsi," kata politisi yang sekarang menjabat Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan Partai Hanura itu dalam konferensi pers di kantor DPP Hanura di Jakarta, Minggu.

Alasan lain Hary bergabung dengan Hanura karena partai pimpinan Wiranto itu bukan partai koalisi.

"Sejak 2009, saya renungkan dan ini akan menjadi perubahan yang baik karena Hanura bukan masuk ke dalam partai koalisi, melainkan konsisten dengan pendirian dan ideologinya sebagai partai oposisi," katanya.

Lebih lanjut, CEO MNC Group tersebut menjelaskan Partai Hanura merupakan partai yang solid sebagai daya tarik dirinya untuk bergabung.

"Adanya soliditas kekompakan dari partai Hanura dan `leadership` (kepemimpinan) yang kuat," katanya.

Dia meyakini soliditas tersebut jika terlaksana dengan baik akan menjadi sesuatu yang besar bagi partai yang baru diusungnya tersebut.

"Kami harapkan dapat bekerja bersatu padu untuk yang lebih baik. Ini merupakan beban moral kami," katanya.

Hary juga menyampaikan sambutan baik Ketua Umum Partai Hanura Wiranto yang bersedia menerima kader-kader dari partai sebelumnya (Partai NasDem) untuk bergabung baik dari pusat maupun daerah.

Hary Tanoe resmi ditetapkan sebagai Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan Partai Hanura pasca pengunduran dirinya dari Partai NasDem.

Hary sebelumnya menjabat sebagai Ketua Dewan Pakar pada partai yang diketuai Surya Paloh tersebut.

Namun, karena perbedaan pandangan dengan Surya Paloh, Hary memutuskan keluar dari partai tersebut bersama dengan tiga pengurus inti lainnya.

Hary kemudian membentuk organisasi massa yang disebut Persatuan Indonesia (Perindo), berisikan anggota Partai Nasdem, sebelum akhirnya keluar dari partai pimpinan Surya Paloh itu.

... perilaku Beijing kepada London akhir-akhir ini semakin kekanak-kanakan setelah Cameron bertemu dengan pemimpin spiritual Tibet, Dalai Lama... "
London (ANTARA News) - Perpecahan diduga terjadi dalam pemerintahan Inggris mengenai hubungan dengan China yang akhir-akhir ini menegang, tulis harian The Sunday Times, mengutip sumber yang tidak disebutkan namanya.

Perdana Menteri Inggris, David Cameron, dan Menteri Keuangan Inggris, George Osborne, di satu pihak berniat menghindari tindakan yang membuat hubungan dengan China semakin menegang karena khawatir dapat merusak hubungan dagang kedua negara.

Namun di sisi lain, menteri Luar Negeri Inggris, William Hague, bersikap berseberangan. Menurut dia Inggris tidak boleh menurunkan kritik keras terhadap pelanggaran HAM di China. Sementara itu Wakil Perdana Menteri Inggris, Nick Clegg, juga bersikeras Inggris harus memegang teguh prinsipnya dalam persoalan penanganan masyarakat Tibet.

"Hague dan Clegg berada dalam pihak sama soal HAM. Mereka percaya Inggris harus bersuara keras terhadap China," kata sumber dari kemenenterian pemerintahan sebagaimana dikutip dari The Sunday Times.

"Bagi Clegg, HAM adalah prinsip yang tidak bisa dinegosiasikan. Untuk Hague, persoalannya adalah Inggris tidak boleh terlalu menaruh hormat pada China karena jika tidak, negara itu akan menghina Inggris," kata dia.

"Sementara Cameron dan Osborne fokus pada soal perdagangan. Mereka ingin mempertahankan hubungan kedua negara," tambahnya.

Inggris saat ini sedang berusaha menarik investasi China dalam berbagai proyek infrastruktur untuk memacu ekonomi yang sedang mengalami perlambatan pertumbuhan.

Namun, hubungan antara London dan Beijing telah memburuk dalam sembilan bulan terakhir saat pihak keamanan melaporkan bangkitnya mata-mata China di jaringan internet, kata The Sunday Times.

Namun orang dalam di kementerian mengatakan, perilaku Beijing kepada London akhir-akhir ini semakin kekanak-kanakan setelah Cameron bertemu dengan pemimpin spiritual Tibet, Dalai Lama, pada tahun lalu.

Meskipun Inggris beranggapan Tibet adalah bagian dari China, pertemuan Cameron-Dalai Lama memunculkan protes resmi dari Beijing, yang menilai biarawan Budha tersebut sebagai separatis yang berbahaya.

Jokowi saat meninjau jalan layang non tol Antasari? (ANTARA/deny yuliansari)

Ya kan jadinya mau tidak mau"
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Gubernur DKI Jakarta Joko Widodo mengungkapkan alasannya menyetujui pembangunan enam ruas jalan tol dalam kota, yaitu kecilnya rasio jalan di DKI Jakarta, hanya 6,2 persen.

Padahal, rasio jalan ideal di Jakarta adalah 12 persen, kata Jokowi usai meninjau jalan layang non tol Antasari, Kamis.

Untuk itu Jokowi merasa harus memperbanyak dan memperlebar jalan. "Ya kan jadinya mau tidak mau," katanya.

Meski begitu, Jokowi memastikan perbaikan sistem transportasi umum tetap dilanjutkan,d engan ditunjang oleh segala kebijakan pendukung.

"Tanpa dibarengi dengan kebijakan-kebijakan yang mendukung juga tidak akan kelihatan hasilnya," katanya seraya menyebut lagi aturan ganjil-genap yang akan mulai diberlakukan Maret 2013 dan Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) di beberapa jalan protokol Jakarta, serta pajak parkir.

"Ini memang sebuah kerja yang terintegrasi," kata dia.

Jokowi mengaku telah melakukan kalkulasi efek pembangunan sebelum memutuskan untuk melanjutkan pembangunan proyek dari Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum itu, dengan syarat harus bisa dilalui transportasi massal seperti Transjakarta.

"Ada jalur khusus dong, bisa naik turun, tapi pada halte-halte tertentu. Saya mau juga karena itu," katanya.

Akademisi: media harus berikan pendidikan politik 2014

AppId is over the quota
2013 dan 2014 disebut-sebut sebagai tahun politik, sehingga media dapat mengambil perannya mendidik masyarakat dari aspek politik secara netral, objektif dan sesuai fakta,"
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Media dalam perannya sebagai guru harus mulai gencar memberikan pendidikan politik kepada rakyat menjelang Pemilu 2014, kata Deputi Rektor Bidang Akademik dan Riset Universitas Paramadina Totok Amin Soefijanto.

Pendidikan dari aspek politik diperlukan agar masyarakat dapat memilih kandidat politisi atau calon presiden 2014 yang sesuai harapan, katanya di Jakarta, Kamis.

"2013 dan 2014 disebut-sebut sebagai tahun politik, sehingga media dapat mengambil perannya mendidik masyarakat dari aspek politik secara netral, objektif dan sesuai fakta," kata Totok kepada ANTARA.

Dia mengatakan pendidikan aspek politik dapat dilakukan dengan cara menjelaskan bagaimana proses pemilihan seorang calon legislatif atau calon presiden dan wakil presiden. Selain itu media juga dapat menjelaskan bagaimana cara memilih kandidat calon legislatif dan calon presiden yang benar.

"Jangan yang disoroti hanya gajinya saja, fasilitas yang diterima saja. Tetapi beri pendidikan misalnya bagaimana tugas seorang pemimpin, tugas anggota legislatif dan lain sebagainya," kata dia.

Menurut Totok, hanya akan ada satu hingga dua media yang dapat memberitakan secara netral pada 2014, dengan asumsi para pemilik media menggunakan medianya sebagai alat untuk mempromosikan diri berkaitan dengan politik.

"Mungkin hanya satu-dua saja yang independen kalau asumsinya para pemilik ini menggunakan medianya untuk alat promosi. Tetapi kalau yang terjadi sebaliknya justru bagus," ujar dia.

Dia menekankan bahwa media yang dimiliki seorang politisi tidak lantas dapat dicap sebagai media yang tidak netral dalam memberikan pemberitaan politik. Semua menurutnya bergantung pada isi pesan yang dikeluarkan media kepada masyarakat.

"Media yang pemiliknya politisi tetap bisa menjadi guru yang baik bagi masyarakat yang penting pesan yang dikeluarkannya netral, objektif serta sesuai fakta. Jadi tidak masalah media tersebut dimiliki siapa," kata dia.
