In Solidarity with the Indonesian Peoples Against the Omnibus Law
The UP CIDS Program on Alternative Development (UP CIDS AltDev) stands in solidarity with the Konfederasi Pergerakan Rakyat Indonesia (KPRI), the Serikat Petani Pasundan (SPP), and all the Indonesian peoples in their struggle against this repressive policy that is seen as a push among Indonesia’s oligarchs for their political and economic interest and that of corporations. Indonesian grassroots movements have organized a three-day national protest against the Omnibus Law on Job Creation that the Indonesian lawmakers abruptly passed without sufficient public consultation. Since the passage of this law on October 5, a series of demonstrations were held despite the rising COVID-19 cases in the country and government restriction on social gatherings. KPRI and SPP, which are grassroots regional partners of AltDev, led their respective constituents in this 3-day protest and in calling for support to expose the adverse implications of the Omnibus Law.
