Summary

On October 28, 2026, hundreds of students and civil society members gathered in Jakarta to demonstrate against the policies of President Prabowo Subianto. The protesters specifically criticized the government's management of ongoing forest fires, which have been exacerbated by the El Niño weather pattern and are considered the most severe in 11 years. Participants demanded that the administration classify the wildfires in Sumatra and Borneo as a national disaster and cease funding for populist initiatives. While the government stated it welcomed the input and had taken legal action against companies linked to the fires, security forces maintained a heavy presence, leading to physical confrontations when they obstructed certain groups of students.
