VARIOUS: DEMONSTRATORS WITH BANNER WHICH READS: DROP THE DEBT NOW; PROTESTERS MARCHING AND WHISTLING; DEMONSTRATOR WITH PLACARD WHICH READS: THE POOR ARE LABOURING AND THE RICH ARE AMASSING; DEMONSTRATORS MARCHING (6 SHOTS) 0.59 3. SV: (SOUNDBITE) (French) COMMUNIST UNION LEADER ANDRE LEMOINE SAYING : The rate of the (Indonesian) debt has been increased by ten point five percent since 1982 amounting to two point one billion U.S. dollars. As for Africa the debt amounts to eight hundred billion U.S. dollars. It is absolutely unbearable. It's really time to eliminate the debt; the sums reimbursed (by the poor countries) should really be used for the elaboration of a true developing policy relying on the economic and social needs of these populations. 1.27 4.
