(en) France, UCL: SUPPORT FOR THE REVOLTS IN INDONESIA (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Mon, 6 Oct 2025 07:36:54 +0300


Since late August 2025, revolts have been taking place in many Indonesian cities, sparked by the accumulation of anger against members of Parliament and the country's bourgeoisie! This began with the massive increase in property taxes across the region, due to the government's budget deficit, and at the same time, members of Parliament saw their salaries increase tenfold. Political statements have also created controversy, such as the regent of Pati, who declared that taxes would not be reduced, even if a mass demonstration of 50,000 people took place. It was in this city that the revolts began, with 100,000 people taking to the streets in August!
The protests then grew to include several cities across the country. These demonstrations were severely repressed by the police, with at least ten people killed and several hundred protesters killed.
The homes of civil servants, a minister, and several parliamentary offices were burned.
The country's President, Prabowo Subianto, attempted on Sunday, August 31, to calm the unrest in the country by canceling certain measures, such as the much-criticized increase in parliamentary allowances, but he did not fail to denounce the riots as "treason" and "terrorism."
Numerous demands, in addition to the cancellation of austerity measures, are beginning to emerge, with more and more revolutionary movements emerging in the demonstrations and other groups and organizations that are populating the movement. Among them, our libertarian communist comrades from @PerhimpunanMerdeka (from whom we have drawn several reports) are present and participating in all the demonstrations in their respective cities.

Support the rebellion in Indonesia. In the face of the crimes of the bourgeoisie, it is essential that workers not give in!
The bad days will end when all the poor join in.
