Indonesia: money politics vs people's democracy
Start: 18:30

DIRECT ACTION FORUM

Indonesia: money politics vs people's democracy

ZELY ARIANE, the national spokesperson of Political Committee of the Poor, a revolutionary socialist group that organises workers, women, farmers, urban poor and students, represents a new generation of young radicals who reject Indonesia's fake “democracy” and pro-capitalist governments.

Zely, who is visiting Australia this month from Jakata, will speak on what the Indonesian April parliamentary and July presidential elections reveal about her country's "march to democracy". She will also discuss the challenges facing Indonesia's fractured left in fighting for a "people's democracy" -- one that can meet the needs of its workers and peasants.

Zely is also active in the Jakarta based trade union SOLIDARITY ALLIANCE FOR LABOUR STRUGGLE. She is a leader of the Women's Liberation group Perempuan Mahardika and is active in both grass roots level organising and forging local and national alliances to create a popular alternative to the rotten politics of Indonesia's capitalist rulers.
