Dewi Sukarno, owner of coat made of 70 animals, launches

Dewi Sukarno, 85, the third wife of Indonesian resistance fighter and president Sukarno, announced last week that she plans to set up a party focused on animal welfare. While the idea of ​​a party’s bizarre cause may be admirable, the ambivalent views of its founders have attracted some eyebrows.

12 Peace Party

Dewey said at a press conference last week that her party (what she intends to call the “12 (Wan-nyan) Peace Party”, a drama that mimics the Japanese bow and the 12th drama of Meow – trying to achieve A “humane world where people coexist with dogs and cats” is first and foremost the people who eat meat.

Online people point out that even if the reason seems to be high, it completely ignores the pain of animals. It has also been suggested that this practice (think more common in China and South Korea) is not common in Japan. In fact, Nikken Geidai It is pointed out that the last known dog meat imported to Japan was in 2017 and has not been imported since then.

Furthermore, the party will only be considered for elections when Indonesian citizen Dewi convenes a summer election in time, which leads some to speculate that the announcement is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.

The expensive taste of Dewey in a fur coat

This hub for animal rights seems insincere given Dewi’s expensive taste in fur coats. The socialite made headlines in 2019 when she sued a hotel for damage to the sleeves of her ¥40 million loft jacket, claiming it contains 60 to 70 types of Russian gold fur.

She has since been portrayed as looking like an animal of all kinds and carrying a crocodile handbag.

About Dewi Sukarno

She was born in Naoko Nemoto and became the first lady in Indonesia. She changed her name and obtained Indonesian citizenship in 1962. When her husband died eight years later, she lived in Europe and the United States and then returned to Indonesia. She has lived in Japan forever since 2008.

She is known for her outspoken right-wing personality, and she has raised some charities in the past, such as refugee rights. However, she has also been criticized for her controversial, often offensive views and actions.

This includes strong defense of the late music tycoon Johnny Kitagawa, who has been accused of sexually assaulting several former members of his organization and expressing her support for dietary member Mio Sugita, as she claims LGBTQ+ people are people who have no children in society.

Considering her past behavior, her desire for the political field seems a bit ironic. In 1992, Dewi was notoriously sentenced to 36 days in prison for beating socialite Minnie Osmena, allegedly due to Dewi’s political ambitions for Osmena caused by ridicule.
