Sohibul said DPP PKS has not communicated and has not provided direction to the PKS Faction of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, so soon to be consolidated related to it.

"We have not given direction to the PKS Faction but I am sure friends of the faction understood them to see a situation like this," he said.

"The budget is gradually already obtained Rp5, 7 trillion yesterday it has no Rp500 billion for the budget," said Anton at the Nusantara Building, Jakarta, Monday (14/8).

Golkar Party politician explained that in addition to building a new building, the House is also proclaiming to build a plaza of democracy, libraries to museums of parliament.

The plan, according to him, outside of the budget that will be used to build a new House of Representatives such as democracy square can be used as a representative place for people who want to implement the rally.

"But we will add more to the construction of the square, the library continues to the museum, for example in London, England when people express aspirations there is a place apart, unlike here when the demo happened congestion," he said.

Anton said that the discussion on the Draft State Budget of 2018 will be conducted after the financial memorandum reading on August 16, 2017, so that the DPR can only get Rp5.7 trillion or not.
