"#KawalPutusanMK: Apa Sebenarnya Berlaku di Indonesia?"
Kenapa tiba-tiba Jokowi kena guillotine ni? Apa sebenarnya dah jadi?
Sekarang ni, Indoensia tengah kecoh dengan satu perubahan besar dalam undang-undang yang dikenali sebagai RUU Pilkada.
Why are there mass protests in Indonesia?
I am going to try my best to quickly summarise this for non-Indonesian readers.
The current Joko Widodo (Indonesia’s president) government was trying to undo a court ruling that could challenge the status quo by lowering the seat threshold for regional assemblies, essentially making all future elections more competitive, which could pave way for new political parties to challenge the current ruling elite.
However, the current government, which is dominated by the president’s allies, are pushing back aggressively against the constitutional court’s ruling and wanted to reverse this decision in order to maintain political influence, which then led thousands of people across multiple cities in Indonesia to protest.
On 22/08/2024, under pressure from protesters, Indonesian lawmakers announced that they had scrapped plans (though many fear it’s more of a postponement) to alter the Constitutional Court’s election laws. Critics argued these changes would have ensured Joko Widodo’s influence and paved the way for a political dynasty designed by him and his allies.
So why are these protests important?
The legal breaches, which many suspect were orchestrated by the presidential office, could trigger a constitutional upheaval and eventually an economic downturn for the country.
Indonesians worry that these actions could weaken their already fragile democracy, pushing the country back toward corrupt authoritarianism and jeopardising its stability as a functioning democratic state.
This is why Indonesians are protesting.
I will link more tweets about this situation below:
made an explainer of the dynasty that is the jokowi family, including the context of nepotism in indonesia and part of how we got here. there is a bigger part of this story i’m leaving others to tell but here’s its lineage on nepotism and dynastyism…
the fact HE is more awake than most local celebs in this country really says a lot about how DOOMED we are.
celebs and elites are blinded by money, and they became the biggest buzzers for these jerks, saying that this country is fine when it's NOT. we are so FUCKED.
I realize I may lose opportunities in a place I love, with people I love even more but it is impossible to stand in silence as my peers fight for awareness. Please take a moment to read this and please stay safe out there.
