P.N.I. (analysis of the 1955 election result)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Het Parool column 'P.N.I.' (11 Nov 1955) analysing the 1955 Indonesian election result: the PNI did well despite corruption; Sukarno's second marriage (Hartini) had been thought to hurt him as it moved many prominent Indonesian women to militant counter-action, but the fight against polygamy was a concern of a handful of modern women, not villages. Context only; no organisation named.

Kolom Het Parool 'P.N.I.' (11 Nov 1955) yang menganalisis hasil pemilu 1955: PNI berhasil meski korupsi; pernikahan kedua Sukarno (Hartini) dikira merugikannya karena menggerakkan banyak perempuan terkemuka Indonesia ke aksi militan, tetapi perjuangan melawan poligami hanya urusan segelintir perempuan modern, bukan desa. Hanya konteks; tidak ada organisasi disebut.

“The fight against polygamy was a matter of a handful of prominent modern women; in the village polygamy was no problem (continues from p. 1).”
