When Indonesia’s new president Prabowo Subianto announced his cabinet, a number of former activists and leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PRD) were among its 109 members. Green Left’s Peter Boyle spoke to Rudi Hartono, former editor of the PRD’s publication Berdikari, about this development.
Green Left's Peter Boyle spoke to Ignatius Mahendra Kusumawardhana from Indonesia's Perserikatan Sosialis (Socialist Union), one of the left groups protesting former Suharto-era general Prabowo Subianto, who was sworn in as Indonesia's new president on October 20.
