PEOPLE’S ULTIMATUM FOR THE PRESIDENT AND THE PARLIAMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
Jakarta, 10 January 2023:
We, the people of Indonesia, demand that the President of the Republic of Indonesia revoke PERPPU Number 2 of 2022 concerning the Job Creation as soon as possible. We also demand that the Indonesian House of Representatives reject the PERPPU on Job Creation, which has undermined the pillars of the rule of law and betrayed the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
If within the next 7 days these demands are not met, we call on all Indonesian people, who have been trampled on by the arbitrariness of the President, to carry out civil disobedience and lawful mass actions; to reject the PERPPU on Job Creation which causes legal demoralization of investment interests.
This step is a form of protest with no other option, other than demanding the repeal of the PERPPU on Job Creation and as a stern warning against actions taken by the President / Government who impose their own will. The PERPPU on Job Creation with all its perspectives is only carried out for the interests of elites group by straddling the law and the decisions of the Indonesian Constitutional Court.
Civil disobedience will continue to be carried out by the people, as long as the betrayal of the constitution is still defended by the President and the House of the Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia.
