"If it is not safeguarded our democratic system will be destroyed. We may be `angry` with the government but it must be safeguarded," he said at a discussion on "Government Without Statesmen" at Megawati Institute here on Wednesday.
He said however that the government of President Yudhoyono also needs to solve the existing problems to improve the welfare of the people.
"Improving the life of the people is not difficut so long as the leaders are firm in action," he said.
He said the government of President Yudhoyono only had three and a half years left and therefore had to make concrete improvements so that the people would not longer be skeptical on it.
"If the government violates the constitution it must be unseated constitutionally as well," he said.
A political observer from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Ikrar Nusa Bhakti, on the occasion meanwhile said President Yudhoyono actually had a vision for developing the country but so far it had remained a dream.
"President Yudhoyono has much vision but it still remains dreams," he said. He said a president is not required to give a lecture but must lead to where the country would go to.
He said President Yudhoyono had so far been quite apprehensive and had only given pointers leaving his official confused.
"The President must act firmly when solving problems," he said.(*)
