Guy Parmelin vs Sutan Sjahrir

Parmelin was elected to the Swiss Federal Council on December 9, 2015, representing the Swiss People's Party (SVP). He took over the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports, later moving to the Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research in 2019.

As head of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research from 2019, Parmelin managed Switzerland's economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including short-time work schemes, business loans, and support for research and innovation to mitigate economic damage.

Guy Parmelin served as President of the Swiss Confederation in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. He chaired the Federal Council and represented Switzerland abroad, while continuing his role as head of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research.

Sutan Sjahrir was appointed as Indonesia's first Prime Minister, heading a parliamentary system. His cabinet focused on consolidating the revolution and gaining international recognition for Indonesia's independence.

Sjahrir led negotiations with the Dutch that resulted in the Linggadjati Agreement, which de facto recognized Indonesian authority over Java, Sumatra, and Madura. This was a key diplomatic achievement during the Indonesian National Revolution.

Sjahrir was arrested and exiled by President Sukarno for his opposition to Guided Democracy and his alleged involvement in a plot against the government. He spent the remainder of his life under house arrest or in exile.
