Student Demonstration Against President Prabowo Policies

Thousands of students hold a demonstration around the National Monument Park in Jakarta, Indonesia, on February 17, 2025. In the demonstration themed ''Dark Indonesia,'' they demand government accountability for the country's condition, which they claim is getting worse, especially in the economic sector due to the burden of state debt during the administration of President Joko Widodo, priority government programs such as Free Nutritious Meals, and a bloated cabinet structure. Meanwhile, the government implements policies that are considered unreasonable by cutting the budget of ministries and institutions, one of which is the Ministry of Education, for reasons of saving the state budget.
