Senior Politician Max Sopacua Dies at 75

jpnn.com, JAKARTA - Senior Democrat Party politician Max Sopacua has died at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital, Jakarta, at the age of 75.

One of Max Sopacua's colleagues, Darmizal, said the deceased's body would be buried at his residence in Bogor, West Java.

"I heard the news this morning from family and friends," said Darmizal when contacted in Jakarta, Wednesday (17/11).

Darmizal said he would come to the funeral and pay his respect to Max.

Max was one of the senior figures of the Democratic Party, who had held the position of vice chairman.

He became the activator of the extraordinary conference (KLB) in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, in March 2021, and had several times been present at the Central Jakarta District Court to attend dispute trials between the KLB group and the Democratic Party.

"He was very concerned with the struggle for the defense of the Democratic Party in accordance with his initial vision and mission, so he joined as an initiator of the KLB in Deli Serdang," said Darmizal.

Darmizal said he and his colleagues considered Max a hero because of his dedication to the party.
