TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Three different groups in society are set to hold protests in Jakarta on Monday, June 22, 2026. These three groups are the Central Board of the Indonesian Islamic Students Movement (PB PMII), the Jakarta Community Alliance, and the National Coalition for Agrarian Reform (KNARA).

Each group has different demands. PB PMII is calling for a total evaluation of the Merah Putih Cabinet led by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka. On the other hand, the Jakarta Community Alliance supports the implementation of free nutritious meals, while KNARA is demanding the establishment of the National Agrarian Reform Body (BNARA).

PB PMII

The mass from PB PMII will demonstrate at the Horse Statue in Central Jakarta on Monday afternoon, June 22, 2026. The rally, titled "#Total Evaluation of the Merah Putih Cabinet Prabowo-Gibran", will be held until Wednesday, June 24, 2026.

"The action will be carried out simultaneously at approximately 300 points throughout Indonesia," wrote a post on the PB PMII Instagram account @pmiiofficial on Sunday, June 21, 1026.

They are demanding five things:

1. Uphold the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution
