| Human Rights Abuses
Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu has made controversial statements linking Pokémon Go and the 1965-1966 anti-communist massacres to foreign threats. Despite President Joko Widodo's promises of democratic reforms, his administration has been marked by xenophobic paranoia and reactionary scare campaigns. The government has cracked down on events deemed 'communist' and promoted nationalist organizations like Bela Negara. Jokowi's attempts at reconciliation over past human rights abuses have been undermined by his own administration's actions, leading to criticism from both supporters and opponents.

Is political Islam rising in Indonesia?
12 May 2014
|
www.aljazeera.com
|
English
| Elections
Indonesia's political landscape is witnessing a rise in the influence of Islamic parties, which collectively garnered 32 percent of the vote in the recent parliamentary elections, an increase from previous years. Despite this, none of these parties advocate for an Islamic state or sharia law, focusing instead on mainstream issues like education and economic policies. The article highlights the historical challenges faced by political Islam in Indonesia and the lack of unity among Islamic parties. It also notes the potential election of Joko Widodo as president and his Christian running mate, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, as a positive sign for religious tolerance and democracy in the country.

In the heart of New York City's Times Square, supporters of Indonesian presidential candidates Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka gathered for the 'Gemoy at Times Square' event, part of a broader campaign strategy. Similar events were held by supporters of Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD in Fairfax, Virginia, and by Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar in Houston, Texas. These gatherings, featuring cultural performances and food bazaars, aim to engage the Indonesian diaspora in the US and convey their political aspirations.

Three Presidential Candidates Offer Different Solutions for the South China Sea Dispute
14 Jan 2024

Indonesian
| Geopolitics
In the final presidential debate broadcasted nationally on Indonesian TV, the main focus was on the South China Sea dispute and how Indonesia should handle China. Indonesians will elect a new president on February 14. The three candidates, Ganjar Pranowo, Prabowo Subianto, and Anies Baswedan, exchanged views on security, geopolitics, and international relations. Ganjar proposed three solutions, including an interim agreement with China, strengthening naval capacity, and exploiting gas reserves in the North Natuna Sea. Prabowo emphasized the need for a strong defense force and Anies suggested that ASEAN should play a more significant role in resolving disputes. Analysts provided insights into the candidates' past experiences and potential approaches to China, with Ganjar likely to favor China based on his tenure as Governor of Central Java, Prabowo expected to continue President Joko Widodo's pro-China policies, and Anies having stronger ties with Western countries. Despite not being a claimant in the South China Sea, Indonesia's exclusive economic zone around the Natuna Islands overlaps with Beijing's claims, leading to increased bilateral diplomatic tensions.

| Corruption
Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the son of Indonesian President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, is emerging as a significant political figure with the potential to bring positive change. However, his association with controversial figures and the corruption prevalent in Indonesian politics pose significant challenges. The article critiques the erosion of democracy under Jokowi's leadership and highlights the need for a strong leader akin to Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew. Gibran's political journey is marked by his education in Singapore and Sydney, his initial reluctance towards politics, and his current candidacy for Vice President. The political landscape is further complicated by rivalries within the PDI-P party and the influence of other political figures like Prabowo Subianto and Mohammad Mahfud Mahmodin.

Indonesia: The Christian Governor Whom Islamists Want to Take Down

Valeurs actuelles

French
| Political Unrest
In Jakarta, the Christian governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok, faces legal challenges from radical Muslim groups for questioning a Quranic verse's interpretation. Despite his popularity and successful governance, Ahok's re-election campaign is marred by a blasphemy accusation, which has led to massive protests orchestrated by the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI). The political landscape is further complicated by Ahok's Chinese heritage and Indonesia's historical and current relations with China. The election results, with Ahok leading in the first round, challenge the notion of a strong confessional reflex in voting behavior, but the potential for violent extremist reactions remains a concern.

| Indonesian Politics
The article discusses the complexities and dynamics of Indonesia's electoral process, highlighting the rise and fall of various political parties in the 2019 elections. The Hanura Party failed to pass the parliamentary threshold due to internal disputes, while the United Development Party (PPP) suffered from poor election results partly due to a corruption case involving its chairman. In contrast, the NasDem Party saw success through strategic planning and hard work. Golkar Party overcame negative speculations with effective resource allocation, and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) maintained its strong position through solid leadership and party structure. The article also provides historical context on the evolution of political parties in Indonesia.
