Jakarta (B2B) - Sebagian besar rakyat menolak rencana pemerintah menaikkan harga Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) bersubsidi. Pasalnya akan membebani daya beli masyarakat, harga kebutuhan pokok naik, tidak bermanfaat bagi kesehatan fiskal negara karena beberapa kali kenaikan harga BBM yang lalu ternyata tidak efektif menyelamatkan anggaran pemerintah.
"Berdasarkan hasil survei LSN, 86,1 persen responden menolak rencana kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi. Responden yang setuju hanya 12,4 persen dan 1,5 persen menyatakan tidak tahu," kata peneliti utama Lembaga Survei Nasional (LSN) Dipa Pradipta kepada pers di Jakarta, Minggu (2/6).
Menurut Dipa, publik beralasan bahwa kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi akan memberatkan kemampuan ekonomi masyarakat sehingga harga kebutuhan pokok akan melambung, tidak terjangkau oleh pendapatan rakyat miskin.
"Kebijakan itu juga tidak akan menolong kesehatan fiskal karena beberapa kali kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi di masa lalu tidak efektif menyelamatkan APBN," tambah Dipa.
Menurut hasil survei LSN, kata Dipa, 12,4% responden yang mendukung kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi hampir seluruhnya berasal dari masyarakat dengan latar pendidikan tinggi dan ekonomi mapan.
"Golongan masyarakat tersebut dapat memahami sejumlah argumentasi pemerintah menaikan harga BBM bersubsidi. Meskipun di antara mereka juga tidak yakin pada kebijakan pemerintah akan efektif untuk menyehatkan perekonomian nasional," tambah Dipta.

"Survei ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik wawancara tatap muka, dengan responden berpedoman pada kuesioner serta dilengkapi riset kualitiatif melalui wawancara mendalam (depth interview) dan analisis media," kata Direktur Eksekutif LSN, Umar S Bakry.
