JAKARTA - Thousands of workers will hold a demonstration in the area of the DPR MPR RI, today. The police said they would deploy more personnel from the crowd for escort.

"The strength of the masses is estimated at 2000. We have been notified of the police force, both open and closed," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Wednesday, June 15.

However, it was not explained in detail about the number of personnel deployed. So far, Zulpan has only said that the police will oversee the public expression of opinion.

Then, Zulpan also appealed to the masses to be orderly in expressing their opinions. They are asked to follow the applicable rules.

"We appeal to the elements of the workers who are expressing their opinions today through demonstrations to be able to do so in an orderly manner," said Zulpan.

Separately, the Director of Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said there were at least 120 members of the traffic police (polantas) who were deployed to regulate the flow of vehicles around the location of the action.

However, regarding the traffic flow diversion scheme, it is said, so far it has not been carried out. This is because this matter will be applied if the traffic flow around the location of the action is severely congested.

"Situational, look at the development of the number of masses," said Sambodo.

Meanwhile, a group of workers who are members of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) will hold a demonstration in front of the DPR building.

There are 5 demands in the demonstration. First, rejecting the revision of the PPP Law, rejecting the omnibus law of the Job Creation Law.

Then, rejecting the election campaign period is only 75 days, but must be 9 months according to the law, pass the PPRT Bill, and reject agricultural liberalization through the WTO
