Everything is ready for a political marriage. We heard this from one of the marriage partners. To the surprise of many, on the eve of the wedding, it was mainly one of the partners – the Pertjaha Luhur (PL) – who kept telling the community enthusiastically about the upcoming union.
The invitations had been sent out; the food and band had been ordered, and the ABOP suddenly and publicly announced that the wedding was off. The PL leadership remained faithful to the well-known words of the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians: Love never fades.
At a hastily convened meeting, the PL leadership ran out of superlatives to describe the period of engagement with the ABOP. But that didn’t stop Son Bronto from delivering one of his speeches – “platen fasi”. Of course, playing the role of victim was inevitable. These phrases stood out: “I don’t want to be the blaka doti of this bromkidyari anymore. I no longer want others to grow at our expense. I want us to grow together.” The characteristic of agitators is that they often do not provide evidence to prove their claims.
It was touching to hear Bronto talk about his ABOP “step brothers and sisters”. He will miss them. He has great admiration for their efforts to obtain a high level of education. So much admiration that I had to stop and think, “Doesn’t Bronto know that Javanese also knew and still knows many of these motivated individuals”? So there is no reason to play the victim and point the finger at the green grass of the ABOP.
If someone who does not know Suriname hears Minister Somoharjo talking about the Javanese role of blaka doti, I would not be surprised that this person would ask after the speech: “Does Suriname also have a system such as apartheid? The United States of America or apartheid in South Africa”? Although Bronto said that he no longer wanted to be a “blaka doti”, I noticed that within less than an hour, he and his father had made all the members present at the meeting become “blaka doti”. Father Somo made a proposal – read the assignment – to appoint Bronto as the leader of the party in the upcoming elections.
I expect this kind of mandatory order in authoritarian countries like Russia and North Korea, but not in Suriname. In a party that calls itself democratic, the new leader will not be suppressed by party members. Meetings should only function as applause machines. Father Somo said those present should not just applaud. No, he expected a standing ovation. Parents are often proud of their children, so I take it for granted. But Bronto Somoharjo receives a considerable amount of money from taxpayers every month to serve as interior minister.
The Minister should be aware, in particular, that Article 53 of our Constitution provides that the internal organization of the party must be democratic. This must be expressed, inter alia, by: – the requirement to nominate candidates for parliament Party structure must be ElectedBut once again, it seems that it is not just the chefs who carry long knives. If Suriname’s democracy index drops again, we will at least know where to look for the reasons.
But the PL leadership has also tarnished the reputation of Suriname in terms of the corruption index. At the mandatory request of the party chairman, the deputy chairman motioned Bronto to the right, where about eight or nine burly gentlemen stood. When it was obvious that his hand movements were not understood, Bronto went there himself. A few seconds later, they walked to the podium and Chairman Somoharjo was lifted up by two of them, while the others, holding the popular South African “vuvuzela” plastic trumpets, provided the necessary barbari and dugu dugu. When you see this spectacle, you can only think: “Whatever”. This is exactly the essence of corruption. Father violated one article of the Constitution, I express my gratitude.
When the chairman said he did not believe anyone other than his son could succeed the party, members of the People’s Party had been treated to the “Bulaka Doti” treatment. A political party – if all goes well – belongs to its members, and its structure must choose and control its leaders.
When blogo talks about 65,000 wongdjowo, in a constitutional-juridical sense, this number should be primarily linked to the number of representatives. If you will – the number of representatives from the group. Then we note that the number of representatives from the Javanese population is now 6. The fact that only one (one) of them is from the PL is certainly worth investigating.
