Baleg DPR regrets Podcast Media on mining cooperative cooperatives: tendency!

Jakarta – Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Parliament Legership Agency (Baleg) Martin Manurung regretted the negative narrative of Podcast, one of the media related to the terms of cooperatives in the management of minerals and coal (Minerba). He considered the narrative conveyed by trends. “We are very sorry that the stories made during the podcast event tend to be trendy and not on data based,” Martin said in his statement, Friday (4/4/2025). The Nasdem Party faction legislature emphasized that the mineral management regulation was arranged by cooperatives long before the assumption of the new Minerba Act. He said the provisions of the cooperative in the management of the miners contained in the Act number 3 of 2020. Browse to continue the content “There are five articles that regulated the existence of cooperatives,” he said. He explained in Article 65 paragraph 1 that the business entity, cooperatives or individual company as referred to in Article 51, Article 57 and Article 60, which performed mining companies, must meet administrative, technical, environmental and financial requirements. Furthermore, further provisions are set out in the second point regarding administrative, technical, environmental and financial requirements referred to in paragraph (1) are regulated by government regulation. Next, says Martin, it was said in Article 66 that public mining activities as referred to in Article 20 are grouped as follows, metal mineral mining, non -metal mineral mining or rock mining. While in Article 67, IPR regulated the Minister given, first individuals who are locals. Second, cooperatives whose members are locals. In a detailed removal of each article, Martin regretted the existence of parties that built negative stories related to the newly approved Minerba Act. “There is a statement from the host of the Podcast event in minute 5.45 which says that cooperatives can obtain mining licenses. While related to the provisions of cooperatives in mineral licenses, the Act 3 of 2020 Act is not suddenly in the review of the Minerba Act,” he said. Martin again emphasized that the provisions of the cooperative permit for the management of the miners were not ‘new items’ in the Minerba legislation. He emphasized that the rules associated with the role of cooperatives in the management of mineral ministry were clearly regulated in the number 3 of 2020. “Even the provisions of cooperatives in mineral licenses were regulated in 5 articles in Act number 3 of 2020,” Martin said. He considered what was transferred to the podcast, without valid data, provocative and not existing data. He mentioned that the opinion was made that those who control the Dibaleg process control mistrust, because each faction in the DPR has its own independence that cannot be intervened by other factions.
