JAKARTA - A total of 7,766 joint personnel from the TNI, Polri, and Regional Government (Pemda) were deployed to guard the demonstration in Jakarta. There are two rallies taking place today.

The first demonstration was carried out by a number of workers' elements around the State Palace. They demanded the government to cancel the ratification of the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Law.

The second action was carried out by a number of Islamic organizations in front of the French embassy building. They criticized the statement of the French President which was deemed insulting the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

"7,766 personnel were deployed entirely at two points and cut off the road diversion if needed," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Monday, November 2.

The thousands of combined personnel is not the total number. Because there are still thousands of other personnel who are reserved.

These reserve personnel are deployed at two locations. They will only be deployed if the situation and conditions are considered out of control.

"We have reserved 8,000, both those at the Polda Metro Jaya and at the Monas Monument are joint personnel of the TNI-Polri and local governments. Later we will see the strength that comes down from fellow demonstrations, if necessary, the reserve personnel will be deployed," said Yusri.

The demonstration at the French Embassy was carried out by elements of Islamic organizations. This action was aimed at criticizing the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. Because, Macron is considered to have insulted Muslims and the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

The insult was because Macron had insulted Islam and defended the publication of the controversial caricature of the Prophet Muhammad.

Then, a demonstration near the State Palace was carried out by a number of workers' elements. They reject the passage of the Job Creation Law and the 2021 minimum wage.
