Context and Origin of Leadership Dualism
π The leadership dualism in Indonesia occurred between Soekarno and Soeharto during the transition from the Old Order (Orde Lama) to the New Order (Orde Baru), starting in early 1966.
β οΈ Political turmoil, protests against Soekarno due to the 30S incident and a worsening economy, led to massive student demonstrations in front of the State Palace on March 11, 1966.
π Army Commander Lieutenant General Soeharto requested a written order from Soekarno to manage the conflict, resulting in the signing of the Supersemar (Surat Perintah Sebelas Maret) on March 12, 1966.
The Role and Impact of Supersemar
π Supersemar mandated Soeharto to take all necessary actions to ensure security, stability, and the safety of the President, while also executing the directives of the Great Leader of the Revolution.
π Based on Supersemar, Soeharto issued Presidential Decree Number 1/3/1966 on March 12, 1966, which included banning the PKI and its mass organizations.
β Other immediate actions included the arrest of 15 ministers involved with the 30S and purifying state institutions like the MPRS from PKI elements.
Erosion of Soekarno's Authority
π The dualism caused political polarization, with some supporting Soeharto and others remaining loyal to Soekarno, who was gradually isolated.
π On June 21, 1966, the MPRS revoked Soekarnoβs title as President for Life and, through TAP MPRS No. I/1966, gave Soeharto, as the executor of Supersemar, the authority to form a new cabinet.
π£οΈ Soekarno's accountability speech to the MPRS on June 22, 1966, known as the Nawaksara, was rejected because he refused to dissolve the PKI.
π Soekarno sent subsequent letters (Pelengkap Nawaksara in January 1968 and a letter to Soeharto in February 1967) explaining the G30S events, but eventually ceded power to Soeharto on February 22, 1967.
Key Points & Insights
β‘οΈ The Supersemar effectively granted Soeharto the authority to act decisively to stabilize the nation, leading to the systematic dismantling of Soekarno's structure.
β‘οΈ Soekarno's refusal to dissolve the PKI in his Nawaksara speech was a critical turning point that solidified the MPRS's decision to strip him of presidential authority.
β‘οΈ The transfer of power concluded when the MPRS issued TAP MPRS No. XXXIII/1967, officially naming Soeharto the Acting President of Indonesia.
