History
The success of national development turned into a disaster when Indonesia was hit by a series of social, economic, and political crises. The failure of the New Order government to overcome these crises awakened the nation to call for democracy in the social, economic, and political fields. Led by students, the people took to the streets and called for "Reformasi" or change. This movement bore fruit with the fall of the New Order government led by President Soeharto and the appointment of Vice President Prof. Dr. Ing. Dr. Sc.h.c. Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie as the third President of the Republic of Indonesia.
Democracy
Through a systematic, comprehensive, and unified process, he developed a concept that embodied proactive and preventive interpretation of democracy as a political machine. This concept was then implemented in various political agendas, such as:
- Freedom of assembly
- Free and fair elections
- Freedom of speech
- Freedom of the press
- Freedom of association, especially in labor unions and political parties
- Recognition of differences of opinion
- Efforts to create effective and efficient governance free from corruption, collusion, and nepotism—in other words, good and clean governance
- Respect for legal institutions and other institutions established on democratic principles
- Release of political prisoners
- Separation of the Police Force from the Armed Forces
