the communication was very intensive as part of efforts to review the coalition of parties supporting the government.Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is communicating with the leaders of political parties outside the government coalition, his spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said.
"The President is conducting the communication to maintain his relations with the leaders of the parties within as well as outside the coalition," Julian said at the presidential office here Thursday.
So, he said, the communication was done not only with leaders of the six political parties in the coalition but also with those from other parties.
He said the communication was very intensive as part of efforts to review the coalition of parties supporting the government.
"I cannot say in detail what has been conveyed as it was more about how to make the communication more effective and running," he said.
He said the political communication that was being done certainly would determine if formation of the coalition would change leading to a cabinet reshuffle.
"The reshuffle will be a final thing if it is decided later that a new formation, a new formula or a new format is needed of cooperation with political parties in the coalition. Whether or not it will change let us just wait," he said.
The decision to change the coalition membership or reshuffle the cabinet will certainly depend upon answers from coalition members to President Yudhoyono`s recent question on whether they would continue to stay in the coalition or not.(*)
