JAKARTA - The University of Indonesia (UI) Student Executive Board (BEM) has yet to confirm whether or not it will join the student demonstrations who are members of the All-Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) at the Monas Horse Statue, Central Jakarta, on Monday 11 April, tomorrow. .

"We are still determining it internally," said UI BEM Chairman Bayu Satria at the Horse Statue in the Monas area, Central Jakarta, Sunday, April 10, afternoon.

What is clear is that BEM UI, he continued, will continue to carry out various larger follow-up movements, the end of which is tomorrow's movement.

"We did not choose to separate, but today is the press conference of the Indonesian Student Alliance (AMI), previously BEM SI Rakyat Bangkit also joined but then someone made BEM SI Rakyat Bangkit calling for a statement of action itself," Bayu said loudly.

Bayu further said that all resistance movements are important and all resistance movements take to the streets.

"In principle, the student movement will certainly unite. The student movement will be a big bang to rebuke the government, to rebuke arbitrary powers," he said.

Previously reported, hundreds of students who are members of the Indonesian Student Alliance (AMI) from various universities in Jakarta held a demonstration in the Monas Horse Statue area, Gambir District, Central Jakarta, Sunday 10 April.

One of the orators from the student representatives asked the participants who took part in the demonstration to release their respective alma maters.

This is to criticize the security forces who often conclude that action participants who do not use their alma mater are branded as provocateurs.

"Come on, friends, let's let go of our alma mater, so that there are no differences and no one is labeled a provocateur," said one student in his oration before the police, Sunday, April 10.

In this action, AMI demanded President Jokowi to issue an official statement rejecting the postponement of the election and supporting the upcoming 2024 election.

However, as of April 10, the president has yet to give a clear statement of rejection.

AMI said it would continue to put pressure on President Jokowi to issue an official statement through an official state statement regarding the rejection of the postponement of the election and the extension of the presidential term of office as well as agreeing on the implementation of the election to be held in 2024.
