TEMPO.CO, Jayapura - General Coordinator of the National Army of Free Papuan Organization (OPM) Lambert Pekikir has rejected the change of Special Autonomy Law of 2001 into Special Autonomy Plus. He said that the Special Autonomy Plus, as realized by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) yesterday, is a waste of time.

"What we ask is that we sit together and talk about Papua," said Lambert. He believes that problems in Papua cannot be solved just by providing annual budget, which has also often gone missing. "Papuan Officials only want the money for their interest. Meanwhile, the people suffer," Lambert added.

Papuans demand independence not because they are marginalized, but because their political rights are taken.

OPM Commander of Lanny Jaya, Purom Wenda, confirmed and added: "We refuse Special Autonomy Plus. We want referendum. That is fixed," Lambert said.
