It should be noted that the All-Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) Alliance in its action this time brought the issue of an extension of the president to the People's Representatives. BEM SI demands that people's representatives listen and convey the aspirations of the people, not the aspirations of the party.

The BEM SI Alliance has also asked for answers to the demands of the people which have not yet been answered. There are 18 demands from the people, 6 of which were brought during the action on March 28, 2022 and the other 12 came from the 7-year action of Jokowi's administration on October 21, 2021.
