1976, 01:44:24 from the start, in Roelof Kiers, director, Indonesia Merdeka, spoken by Roelof Kiers and Johan Fabricius, via VPRO, retrieved 26 July 2024:Kiers: Hoe werd de Republiek eigenlijk in die periode door de Nederlanders beschouwd, die toen vrij waren?
Fabricius: Die werd niet au sérieux genomen in het begin. Men vond het een grappige vertoning, men dacht dat, als zo meteen – ‘wacht maar, als straks de troepen komen, dan wordt er een eind aan gemaakt’ – dat was de algemene opinie van de mensen.- Kiers: Actually, how was the Republic perceived by the Dutch who were not imprisoned at that point in time?
Fabricius: It was not taken seriously at first. People thought it was a comical charade, people thought that, when soon – ‘just wait, when the troops will arrive shortly, they'll put an end to it’ – that was the common opinion of the people.
