Foto von Ex-Verteidigungsminister Prabowo Subianto, wie er eine Rede bei einer Versammlung in Jakarta hält, nachdem er den Sieg bei den indonesischen Präsidentschaftswahlen am 14. Februar 2024 erklärt hat. Er steht neben Gibran Rakabuming Raka, dem ältesten Sohn des bisherigen indonesischen Präsidenten Joko Widodo, den er als Vizepräsidenten nominiert hat. Dazu der Text: "Indonesische Thronfolge. Mit Prabowo Subianto kommt in Indonesien eine obskure, unberechenbare Figur an die Macht."
In #Indonesien wurde jüngst Prabowo #Subianto, der Ex-Schwiegersohn des langjährigen Militärdiktators #Suharto, zum Präsidenten gewählt. Die Hintergründe der Wahl in der «oligarchischen Demokratie» des Inselstaates analysiert John Sidel. 👇
