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 of Indonesia 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.
