Masses of students in the back of the DPR/MPR (DOK Nailin/VOI) Building behind the DPR/MPR (DOK Nailin/VOI)

JAKARTA - The mass of students stretched the poster of 'Jokowi Manusia Rakus' when holding a demonstration behind the DPR/MPR Building, Thursday, August 22. The fence, which was previously firmly established as a puntu in and out of people's houses, was successfully broken down. The masses then stood in line while unfurling organizational banners to posters of resistance with various calls. One of them is 'Jokowi Human Rakus.' The article was printed with red on the background of a white poster. An orator holding a white toa continues to say resistance speeches that show the injustice of the current ruler. "We have to fight," said the orator. Meanwhile, right in front of the masses who marched, there were a number of police who made barricades. According to VOI monitoring, officers prepared a water canon car to anticipate unnecessary things. Previously, a gate to the Pancasila Gate behind the MPR RI DPR Building managed to break down the mass action of a number of Trisakti students on Thursday afternoon, August 22. The incident occurred at around 14.30 WIB. "The chaos of the poor people's children in the city, united in fighting for democracy, booming in one voice, for the sake of a noble sacred task. The days of tomorrow are ours, the creation of a prosperous society, the formation of a community order. New Indonesia without an ORDER," shouted a number of students while boisterously singing after successfully tearing down the Pancasila Gate Fence. The masses held a demonstration to reject the efforts of the DPR RI to hold a plenary meeting that would approve the ratification of the Pilkada Bill into law. However, the plenary meeting was postponed because the number of meeting participants did not reach the quorum because only 86 of the 575 members of the DPR RI attended. In accordance with the Regulation of the House of Representatives Number 1 of 2020 concerning Order, Article 281 paragraph (1) states that the chairperson of the meeting opens a meeting if at the predetermined time to open the meeting more than 1/2 of the number of meeting members consisting of more than 1/2 faction elements.

In paragraph (2) it is stated that if at the predetermined time it has not been attended by 1/2 of the number of meeting members consisting of more than 1/2 faction elements as referred to in paragraph (1), the chairperson of the meeting announced the postponement of the meeting opening. It is also explained in paragraph (3) that the postponement of the opening of the meeting as referred to in paragraph (2) is carried out within a maximum period of 30 minutes.
