MERDEKA.COM. PAN faction chairman Tjatur Sapto Edy spoke about the rise in fuel prices subsidized by the government. According to him, what he has done the President Jokowi potentially violate the law.
Tjatur explained, in the State Budget Act of 2014, rising fuel prices can be done when the oil price exceeds the world oil price assumption in the budget of more than 105 dollars / barrel. In fact, said Tjatur, current world oil prices below $ 80 a barrel.
"With oil prices below $ 80 a barrel, my guess economical price premium under $ 8,500, rising for 2 months, then there is the potential for breaking the Law on State Budget for in the Act, described the premium is subsidized fuel, then he must be under price economics, then there is the potential for the government violated the Act. If calculated, it could be economical price premium under $ 8,500, "said Tjatur when contacted on Monday (17/11).
Tjatur even mention Jokowi-JK government is more cruel than SBY administration. Because Jokowi raise fuel when world oil price has fallen dramatically.
"And what is the government doing SBY social protection has been done. The increase is so high, while oil fell, never been there before and was a bit cruel regime. The increase in fuel prices is a landslide, is very less human," said Tjatur.
It is known, from 18 November at 00:00 pm subsidized fuel prices rise. Premiun raised Rp 2 thousand to Rp 8,500 and diesel rose to Rp 7,500.
