Indonesia: Pressures against President Sukarno
continue to mount, but he still shows no disposition to
resign or to leave the country.
Sources close to Foreign Minister Malik report
that he assured the President on 31 January that no
action would be taken against him if he would volun-
tarily sten down. Sukarno is said to have demurred.
According to Malik, evidence against Sukarno now
being collected by the attorney general is for use chiefly
in persuading the President to resign. If Sukarno re-
fuses to leave voluntarily, however, the evidence will
be used against him.
Anti-Sukarno, pro-army ranks in parliament were
considerably strengthened on 1 February by the addi-
tion of 108 new appointees, including at least 20 student
and youth leaders. Parliament makes up part of the
congress, the nation's highest policy-making body and
the only one authorized to take formal action against
the President. The government is considering the
exclusion of political party members as regional repre-
sentatives to the congress, a move that would further
strengthen the army's influence.
A large student demonstration before parliament
on 30 January called for congress to meet in special
session to remove Sukarno from office and to com-
mission an investigation of charges that he was in-
volved in the abortive coup plot of October 1965. Par-
liament is scheduled to discuss this request today and
tomorrow.
