JAKARTA - On Thursday, September 4, the leadership of the DPR finally held a meeting with the leaders of the factions to discuss the 17+8 demands voiced by the community alliance.
After a wave of demonstrations hit various cities for almost 2 weeks, student aspirations were finally heard directly by members of the council.
On Wednesday, September 3, Abdul Muis' room, the DPR RI Building, Senayan, was filled with student delegations who came from various universities. One of the most vocal was the Chairperson of BEM UI, Agus Setiawan.
Agus highlighted the issue of allowances for DPR members which were considered very high in the midst of sluggish people's economic conditions. The hearing Between students and the leadership of the DPR yesterday drew controversy.
Through uploads on social media, it was revealed that Agus' decision to attend the hearing was contrary to BEM UI's internal agreement. There were allegations that he came because of certain "directions", he was even labeled a "traitor" by fellow UI students.
Given the polemic that emerged from this hearing, is this meeting just a political gesture to defuse tensions or the beginning of real change? Is it true that someone has been riding action for this week and taking advantage of the student's name? Check out the full information on VOI.id.
