Memang ada pikiran agar pemerintah memberi dana talangan, namun dana talangan itu tidak diperlukan karena PT Lapindo Brantas bisa memenuhi kewajibannya membayar ganti rugi, kata Presiden Yudhoyono.
Actually there has been an idea of the government to lend money, but it would no longer be necessary, because PT Lapindo Brantas is able to make the payments, he said at a press conference after a meeting to discuss the handling of the disaster.
