WIB SURABAYA--MIOL: Ahli perdamaian dan pengga- gas Jurnalisme Damai (JD), Prof Johan Galtung berencana ke Indonesia untuk membicarakan masalah Pancasila dan globalisasi, dalam seminar di Jakarta, 16 Oktober mendatang.
"Beliau selama ini memang menjadi corong untuk mengobarkan Pancasila di seluruh dunia. Karena itu, beliau bersedia memenuhi undangan kami untuk menjadi pembicara seminar," ujar budayawan Sunardi, di Surabaya, Minggu (20/8).
Menurut dalang kondang itu, Pancasila sudah dijadikan alternatif di dunia, karena merupakan ideologi alternatif di tengah sosialisme-komunis dan kapitalisme-imperialis yang terbukti merusak dunia.
"Jadi, dunia internasional mengakui Pancasila meru- pakan jawaban untuk globalisasi. Karena itu, saya meyakini globalisasi itu diarahkan untuk menghan- curkan Pancasila dan UUD 1945," ucapnya.
Menurut Johan, Pancasila dihancurkan dengan otono- mi daerah yang merusak persatuan, demokrasi lang- sung yang merusak musyawarah, serta budaya materialisme melalui berbagai cara, baik media massa maupun gaya hidup hedonis yang dikampa- nyekan terus-menerus.
"UUD 1945 juga dihancurkan dengan mendorong amendemen yang tidak masuk akal. Amerika sendiri melakukan amandemen dalam waktu puluhan tahun, tapi UUD 1945 justru diamendemen dalam tempo tiga tahun dengan empat kali amandemen. Apa itu tak bermaksud merusak," ungkapnya.
Oleh karena itu, kembali pada Pancasila dan UUD 1945, tak dapat ditawar-tawar lagi. Amendemen UUD 1945 itu tidak sah, kata Johan, karena bukan ketetapan MPR, belum ada dalam Lembaran Negara, dan dilakukan tanpa meminta pendapat rakyat.
Menyikapi hal itu, Forum Inteligensia Pancasila (FIP) yang merupakan bagian dari Gerakan Revolusi Nurani (GRN) akan mengadakan seminar tentang Pancasila dan Globalisasi dengan mengundang Prof Johan Galtung pada 16 Oktober mendatang.
Banyak negara yang mendukung Pancasila dengan melakukan berbagai adopsi. Tapi ada pula negara yang membenci Pancasila dengan melakukan berbagai upaya mengubur Pancasila.
"Karena itu, kedatangan Prof Johan Galtung yang sudah lama mengampanyekan Pancasila sebagai ideologi alternatif di dunia itu, merupakan hal sangat strategis," tegasnya
