REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Vice President Jusuf Kalla stated, most of conflicts and separatism were not motivated by ideological nor religious differences. He said, economic factor played the role.

"What's the trigger of separatism? Was it because we don't memorize Pancasila? I don't think so. Almost all of cases occurred because of economic problems," he said during a speech before Lemhanas workshop participants at Vice Presidential Palace on Monday.

Kalla explained, divisions among society happened because of social injustice and economic disparities between regions.

He reiterated, economic problems could also lead to the fall of a government.
