Included ameng a number of papers of varying value is a —é most interesting report of G, Gomori, a Hungarian refugee, of some interviews he had with leaders of the Indonesian Communist Party. The tulk of the art icle gives an account of an interview with Aidit, Secretary of the Indonesiam Party, which took place at the beginning of 1961, Asked about his attitude to Sukarno and "guided democracy", Aidit spoke of the President of Indonesia with great respect (“he seemed to me to be more pro-Sukarno than auite a fow nationalists", says Gomori). When pressed for his opinion about the need for the dictatorship of the proletariat in Indonesia, Aidit agreed that he did .. "not apply if" to their country, These revisionist views did not prevent ~ Aidit from vigorously attacking the Yugoslavs and applauding the Albanians, who, he said, "fight for pure Marxiam".
Naturally, Gomori was interested in the Indonesian CP's appraisal of the events of 1956 in Hungary, Aidit thought there was a counter—-revolution in Hungary, and that "Hungary is not an issue any more", But, he went on, "if this makes you any happier, I would not mind if through a miracle, Imre Nagy would be resurrected from his grave."
