Jakarta (B2B) - Maksud hati mengecam Jokowi, malah SBY yang kini kerepotan setelah menyindir Gubernur DKI Jakarta, Joko Widodo yang dituding belum mampu mengatasi kemacetan di Jakarta.

Juru bicara Presiden, Julian Aldrin Pasha yang ketiban pulung untuk menjelaskan kepada pers bahwa Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) tidak melakukan blunder saat menyindir Jokowi. Menurut Julian, seluruh pernyataan SBY dalam pertemuan Kamar Dagang Industri (Kadin) tersebut tidak memicu polemik.

"Tidak ada yang bilang blunder. Memang tak ada polemik," kata Julian saat ditemui di Istana Presiden, Selasa, 12 November 2013. Ini bukan pembelaan Julian yang pertama. Ia juga mengatakannya di sela kunjungan Presiden ke Taman Makam Pahlawan Kalibata, seperti dilansir tempo.co.

Namun, setelah peristiwa tersebut, acara-acara Presiden SBY tertutup dari peliputan media massa. Silaturahmi dengan Kadin menjadi acara SBY terakhir yang diperbolehkan untuk diliput secara penuh oleh wartawan. Kini wartawan hanya boleh hadir dan meliput bagian awal dan sebagian kecil sambutan.

Julian menyatakan, pihaknya yang akan memberikan informasi mengenai isi dan substansi pertemuan SBY dalam acara-acara kenegaraan kepada wartawan. Ia juga berjanji akan memberikan potongan rekaman suara dan video bagi media massa radio dan televisi. "Kita akan berikan apa yang jadi keperluan teman-teman," ujar Julian.

Namun, Biro Pers Kepresidenan biasanya hanya membagi rekaman suara dan video pada bagian-bagian yang kurang substantif.

Menurut Julian, kebijakan pembatasan akses wartawan terhadap kegiatan Presiden akan terus diberlakukan jika dinilai positif. Lembaga Kepresidenan, ujarnya, memberlakukan prosedur tersebut karena media justru bisa lebih tepat menangkap inti pertemuan. "Kalau lebih baik berarti akan kita pakai," kata Julian.
