BULGARIAN REGIME REPORTED HIGHLY CONCERNED OVER PEASANT UNREST 25X1A The Bulgarian cabinet and the party cen- tral committee have met recently to con- sider emergency measures to deal with Bulgarian peasants who are forcibly re- sisting intensified government "terrorist tactics" aimed at accelerating collectivization, 'according to the Greek lega- tion in Sofia. Two central committee members were dis- patched to supervise operations in troubled areas. The Greek legation reported that peasants were fighting police and mile itia in northeastern Bulgarian Comment These steps by the government and the confirmed large-scale deportations of "unreliable elements" from Sofia in March indicate the Bul- garian leaders are taking strong action to keep unrest from becoming a serious problemo Although there has been no previous in- dication that the regime is pressing the collectivization drive so strongly as to cause major unrest, many of the peasants among the 20 percent who have so far escaped collectiviza- tion are probably more rebellious than those already in col- lectives. They may, therefore, be offering strong resistance to the government's efforts to make Bulgaria the first -Satel- lite with fully socialized agriculture. 7 Apr 57 Current Intelligence Bulletin Page 5 Approved For - 00400001-3 25X1 gpproved For Release 2003/01/27 :CIA-RDP79T00975A003000400001-3 Approved For Release 2003/01/27 :CIA-RDP79T00975A003000400001-3 25X1A Approved Fo 4o SITUATION IN INDONESIA Sukarno is continuing his consultations with various political figures in an effort to form a workable "emergency cabinet." He apparently is still determined to have leftist representation in the cabinet; there are reports that he has included in the talks more Nationalists, Commu- nists, and Communist sympathizers than other party repre- sentatives. He doubtless expects that Moslem opposition to Communist participation in the cabinet could erupt into vio- lence. General Nasution, the army chief of staff, reportedly gives every indication of supporting Sukarno, Al- though Nasution does not have the personal support of all the territorial commanders9 whose reactions will determine the success or failure of Sukarno's plans, none of these disaffected commanders is reported willing to make a personal denuncia- tion of Sukarno. 7 Apr 57 Current Intelligence Bulletin Page 7 Approved F - 01-3 25X1 gpproved For Release 2003/01/27 :CIA-RDP79T00975A003000400001-3 Approved For Release 2003/01/27 :CIA-RDP79T00975A003000400001-3
