      “Forse uno dei problemi principali dell’Indonesia è non essere riuscita in questi anni a fare i conti col proprio passato. Nominare Suharto eroe nazionale significa non conoscere la storia del proprio Paese. Quest’anno sono sessant’anni dai massacri anticomunisti in Indonesia; ancora oggi il Partito Comunista Indonesiano è bandito insieme a tutti i testi relativi al marxismo, e ancora oggi il comunismo è un fantasma in Indonesia, che viene ripescato ogni qualvolta si renda necessario accusare un avversario politico. Lo stesso Prabowo lo fa spessissimo.”
