JAKARTA - An intriguing phenomenon can be seen in demonstrations related to the decision of the trial for alleged violations of the Constitutional Court's code of ethics (MK) in the Horse Statue area, Monas, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, November 7.

One of the teenagers participating in the demonstration from Bogor did not bring posters or banners. Even though he supports the Constitutional Court's decision, he actually raises the yellow flag like there is news of grief or death.

"Take the yellow flag because independence is dead," Hilmi told VOI in the Horse Statue area, Monas, Central Jakarta.

This 2nd grade vocational student from Bogor, West Java admitted that he deliberately came from his house in the Leuwiliang area to Jakarta with several friends.

He came to the Monas area using 4 buses chartered by the committee.

"Coming from Bogor there are 4 buses, all of them are different schools. They want to demo, they say the Constitutional Court demonstration," he said.

Hilmi admitted that the group he was with did not know each other, because he came from several different schools and houses.

"I don't know, this is different - all schools. I came to the demonstration because I supported Gibran. Mas Gibran because he gave a good example for young people to be more advanced," he said.

Meanwhile, until 16.30 WIB, hundreds of youths supporting the Constitutional Court's decision were still standing in the Horse Statue area, Monas, to wait for the verdict.

"When invited, he said demonstrations until 17.00 WIB," he added.
