VIDEO: Demanding Revision Of Village Law, APDESI Demonstration Action In DPR Ricuh

This is the atmosphere of the village head demonstrations that are members of the All-Indonesian Village Government Association (APDESI) are chaotic.

Thousands of these village heads held a demonstration in front of the MPR/DPR RI building, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 23. The action of throwing bottled water into the DPR building, burning banners and attempts to damage the DPR fence were carried out by demonstrators.

This was triggered because their desire to meet with the leadership of the DPR was not fulfilled. In addition, the demonstrators also threatened to block the inner-city toll roads if they did not meet with the leadership of the DPR RI. Luckily, this chaos was shocked after representatives from APDESI entered the parliamentary complex to meet with members of the DPR RI.

These village officials demand that the revision of the Village Law be ratified no later than December 5. In this revision, there is an additional term of office for the village head, which was previously 5 years to 9 years. Watch the video below.
