周六,数百名工人集会支持印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃·苏比安托,此前有指控称警方对其进行了非法窃听,与此同时,数百名女性游行抗议总统的政策。
Hundreds of workers rallied in support of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Saturday amid allegations that police illegally wiretapped him, while hundreds of women marched against the president's policies.
这场支持普拉博沃的游行与近期针对其政府的抗议活动形成了鲜明对比。随着公众对普拉博沃代价高昂的民粹主义政策、对肆虐野火的处理方式以及对这个东南亚最大经济体投资者信心减弱的不满情绪日益高涨,此类抗议活动也随之增加。
The pro-Prabowo demonstration marked a contrast to recent protests against his administration, part of growing public discontent over his costly populist policies, handling of raging wildfires and weakening investor confidence in Southeast Asia's biggest economy.
领导工人集会的劳工党主席赛义德·伊克巴尔呼吁团结支持普拉博沃,并表示他将动员工会成员反对那些威胁这位前将军总统职位的人。
Labour Party Chairperson Said Iqbal, leading the workers' rally, called for unity to support Prabowo and said he would mobilise union members against those who threaten the former general's presidency.
据《点滴网》报道,兼任总统特别顾问的赛义德表示:“我们可以动员我们组织在每个城镇、每个工厂的成员。如果出现任何由外国利益或企图惹事生非的人煽动的不安宁,我们随时准备作出反应以维护秩序。”印尼警方已将四名高级警官列为涉嫌试图拦截普拉博沃通信的嫌疑人,其中包括一名被称为前总统佐科·维多多忠实支持者的前警察局长。
"We can mobilise members of our organisation across every town, every factory," Said, a special adviser to the president, was quoted as saying by Detik News. "We are prepared to respond at any moment to maintain order should any unrest arise, whether instigated by foreign interests or by individuals seeking to cause trouble." Indonesian police have named four senior police officials as suspects accused of attempting to intercept Prabowo's communications, including a former police chief who is known as a loyalist of former President Joko Widodo.
这起丑闻暴露出普拉博沃与他的前任兼前支持者佐科之间日益加深的裂痕。
The scandal has exposed deepening cracks between Prabowo and his predecessor and former backer, known as Jokowi.
其中一名嫌疑人的律师表示,他的当事人将配合调查,佐科此前曾表示尊重法律程序。
Jokowi has said he respected the legal process. The lawyer for one of the four suspect said his client would cooperate with the investigation.
同样在周六,民间社会团体在雅加达举行了女性游行,要求获得更多女性权益,并抗议普拉博沃对持续数月的森林火灾的处理方式、他那代价高昂的免费餐计划以及对女性卫生用品征收的税款。
Also on Saturday civil society groups held the women's march in Jakarta to demand more women's rights and protest against Prabowo's handling of the forest fires that have been raging for months, his costly free-meal programme and a tax on women's sanitary products.
近几个月来,针对普拉博沃已经爆发了几起抗议活动,包括上周在首都和其他城市举行的学生集会。
There have been several protests launched against Prabowo in recent months including student rallies last week in the capital and other cities.
