Jakarta - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono delays visits to the Netherlands continues to be the pros and cons among the political elite. But most people would support the stance of President Yudhoyono who maintain our national dignity.

Growing discourse among politicians, divided in two. That is the support for reasons of maintaining our national dignity and the opposite with the accused SBY not firm and so forth.

"It certainly should do a national survey to obtain exact data. But I suspect the majority of the public supports the position that SBY, mainly for reasons of self-esteem," said M. Qodari told AFP on Wednesday (06/10/2010).

According to political observers from IndoBarometer it, the reason for maintaining a selected national pride SBY more acceptable to the people of Indonesia. The reason is considered inappropriate because issues of national pride that has a strong magnetic arouse sentiments of nationalism in the nation.

Yet another problem would be, if not the reason of national pride. "In my notes, of various survey results, the Indonesian nation has the sentiment of nationalism was high enough," he explained.

Qodari also pointed to the case of Malaysia, where people of Indonesia to provide such a harsh reaction. In fact, some people do to raise the strength to fight.

Especially now in a position 'opponent' is Dutch and RMS. The Indonesian people have a negative memory of the Netherlands who will always be remembered as a colonial state and the RMS which is a rebel group.

"However, if the President is not treated respectfully, much less abused in the Netherlands, the sentiment of nationalism which stirred the nation," he concluded.

Earlier, Deputy Interior Minister Lur Triyono Wibowo said, until recently it was still awaiting a response from the Dutch government on the postponement of President Yudhoyono's visit. However, the problem is not addressed or not delay.

"But there is a court process when the President over there, this is inappropriate and unacceptable. Please note, yesterday was only delayed and unusual," said Triyono.
