Boediono and Sri Mulyani itself seems normal waves which demonstrations are expected to be difficult to stop until it was completed and the opening of the Century Bank controversy.
Normal working
Unfortunately, Boediono did not want to talk respond to large demonstrations attended by some interfaith leaders and the field centered at the National Monument (Monas) in Jakarta. However, the Spokesperson and Vice President of Special Staff Mass Media Division, Yopie Hidayat, said Boediono remained steadfast and continued to work as usual.

Indeed, although not affected, Boediono had confessed was surprised with the reaction of society that emerged a few weeks over his decision with Sri Mulyani menalangai Century Bank. It was expressed at the opening conference that was held to eradicate corruption Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), last week. However, he affirmed his commitment to combat corruption as he promised when campaigning with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in July last.

Some say what is done Boediono and Sri Mulyani may be true, to save benat Century Bank of the national economic interest. Moreover, both, also known as a professional figure and has as well as personal integrity is so certain that its policy is really a policy of free and clean from corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN).
However, there is also the other opinion.
