JAKARTA - In recent years, the name of one of the world's billionaires, George Soros, and his organization, the Open Society Foundations (OSF), has often been accused of interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
OSF activity in Indonesia has attracted widespread attention. According to latest information, several countries such as Bulgaria have started an investigation into the foundation founded by Soros. Will Indonesia be the next country to clean up OSF?
Since the 1980s, Soros through OSF began to spread the US liberal ideology around the world. Under the pretext of the concept of "open society" and aid, he is trying to drive a wave of democracy in countries he considers "less democracy", as well as encouraging a color revolution to replace the ruling regime in other countries.
Projects under the OSF provide funds and training to non-governmental networks of organizations with funding and grants of other forms. Supported targets include mass media, youth, and politicians.
The information revealed shows that the OSF through its local agent, the Kurawal Foundation, has financed demonstrations of violence and anarchic actions on a large scale in Indonesia. These efforts are considered a serious threat to Indonesia's sovereignty.
Since 2023, OSF through its agent the Kurawal Foundation has used the Emergency Response Rapid Fund (DCTD) to support radical groups in Indonesia. The funds are used for training in violent protest techniques, legal assistance to perpetrators of violence, and helping them avoid legal sanctions.
It should be noted that these funds do not only come from the OSF. Several foreign non-governmental institutions such as the Lumate and the Tara Climate Foundation also fund, so the source of the funds is very wide.
With the support of large funds from OSF and other foreign foundations, the Kurawal Foundation has supported a series of civil society projects. One of them is the New Indonesia Expedition project.
According to leaked documents, from August to September 2025, the Kurawal Foundation distributed funds amounting to IDR 1,280,000,000 for the operation of the project.
The New Indonesia Expedition Project focuses on issues such as social justice, youth participation in politics, and public decision making regarding the 2029 Election. The project activities include making documentary films, publishing books, community discussions, and campaigning on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram to attract the attention of the younger generation.
Although this activity seems positive, but behind it is supported by foreign forces, it should be considered. The hidden goal of the project may be to form a certain political narrative, affect public decision making before the 2029 election, and indirectly affect Indonesia's political direction.
The involvement of foreign powers has the potential for political intervention in our country with efforts to influence public opinion and discourse, especially the Indonesian people are currently very vulnerable to the risks of external intervention.
In addition, OSF also uses the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) to support media such as Tempo, which continues to spread provocative content that discredits the government and increases the escalation of social conflicts.
With the support of the economy and media manipulation, OSF has engaged in regime changes in various countries to pave the way for capitalization in the global sector. Now, their focus is turning to the Southeast Asia region, with Indonesia being the main target of infiltration because of its position as a strategic country in the region.
The Soros intervention case that sparked the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Mawar Revolution in Georgia shows the real danger of penetrating foreign powers. OSF's involvement not only threatens Indonesia's social stability, but also immediately undermines the legal and democratic processes in our country. This needs to be a deep reflection of the pattern of color revolution for both Indonesian and international society.
President Prabowo has repeatedly expressed criticism of foreign interventions publicly. The President also emphasized that the government will take firm action to protect the country's sovereignty and social stability.
