JAKARTA - The President of the Labor Party Said Iqbal said that his party had difficulty finding a place to hold the May Day Fiesta. However, thanks to the help of many parties, this activity was finally carried out at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK) Senayan, Central Jakarta.
Said said the joint event between the Labor Party and the Indonesian Labor Movement had actually been prepared for two weeks. However, they had experienced location control.
Then help came from the State Secretariat (Setneg) and also the police in the process of finding a place.
"We coordinated two weeks ago because finding a place was difficult," said Said Iqbal at a conference held in the GBK area, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Saturday, May 14.
"With the help of various parties, the State Secretariat, the police, the National Police Headquarters (Polri, ed), and the Polda Metro Jaya, we can use it with several conditions," he continued.
However, there are a number of requirements that must be met. One of them is obeying health protocols. This activity was carried out in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Thus half the planned mass of 100 thousand people is approaching 50 thousand people. The GBK capacity is around 76,000 people and we try to keep one empty seat apart, wear masks, and do antigen tests, it's already a booster," said Said Iqbal.
"That's the final agreement to use GBK. JIS and Istora are no longer used," he added.
Previously, Said claimed that there were 50 thousand people who took part in today's May Day Fiesta. They come from a number of elements.
Among them are farm laborers, fishermen, temporary employees, to online motorcycle taxi drivers or those who are called the working class.
