The idea is that the money would be distributed among the East Timorese people to convince them to vote for Autonomy in the planned July Consultation. Another confidential sources informed that Gen. Wiranto, Commander in Chief of ABRI, has agreed to send 16 more battalions to East Timor by April this year on the request Pro-Integration groups. Estimated 6 battalions of Indonesian troops are now operating in East Timor. This situation is very contradicting to the Foreign Ministers agreement in New York last week, that as a condition for the realization of free and fair consultation, the Indonesian Forces will be withdrawn and a UN Police Forces to be placed in the territory. Meanwhile, in Jakarta, a Kopassus officer has forced the East Timorese Labors working in several factories in Pulogadung to stage a demonstration to condemn Mr. Xanana Gusmao. The officer, Eusebio Belo, promised 1 million rupiahs to each labor who decided to join the demonstration, and threatened those who opposed his plan. The demonstration would be staged today, March 17, 1999, in front of the Special Prison, Jalam Percetakan Negara, where Mr. Gusmao is serving the his sentence. In this economic bankruptcy where Indonesian economy is run with the funds from international funding agencies, this Money Politic is seemingly to led Indonesia to a worsen economic problem. In the meantime, it is also a serious threat to the process of consultation that is planned to be held on July this year.
