History
August 2025 Indonesian protests#Background
In late August 2025 Indonesia saw widespread protests (centered on Jakarta and other cities) against issues like a proposed pay raise for legislators, rising living costs and mass layoffs, and heavy-handed police action. The first wave of nationwide protests on 25 August 2025 began chiefly as a demonstration against the perceived "fantastic" perks of Indonesian parliamentarians. Though this effort had no set-in-stone demands, the protesters' demands varied in extremity.Iksan Seruan Demo Besar 25 Agustus 2025 Viral di Media Sosial, Ini Sejumlah Tuntutan yang Ramai Beredar https://lamongan.pikiran-rakyat.com/news/pr-3869597540/seruan-demo-besar-25-agustus-2025-viral-di-media-sosial-ini-sejumlah-tuntutan-yang-ramai-beredar 2025-09-02 Lamongan Terkini id
In Jakarta thousands of students, workers and activists massed at the MPR/DPR complex demanding an end to exorbitant lawmaker pay and allowances. The immediate, high-profile demand was the cancellation of a new 50 million (3,000) monthly housing allowance for each MP.Lamb Kate 2025-08-26 Protests erupt in Indonesia over privileges for parliament members and ‘corrupt elites’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/26/indonesia-protests-austerity-parliament-member-privileges 2025-09-02 The Guardian en-GB 0261-3077 Protestors also demanded the removal of policies that benefit conglomerates and the military.2025-08-26 Indonesian police clash with students protesting lawmakers’ salaries https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/26/indonesian-police-clash-with-students-protesting-lawmakers-salaries 2025-09-02 Al Jazeera en Protesters also called for full transparency of MPs’ salaries and budgets, and the reversal of any planned pay raises.

The idea for the complete disbandment of the DPR was highly popular among netizens and protestors.Rohmah Fina Nailur Majid Naufal Nur Mochammad Fajar Firdausi Fadrik Aziz 2025-08-27 Analisis Sentimen Medsos: Ada Apa di Balik Demo DPR 25 Agustus? https://tirto.id/analisis-sentimen-medsos-ada-apa-di-balik-demo-dpr-25-agustus-hgvp 2025-09-02 tirto.id id However, the idea for complete disbandment cast some with doubt. A commentary on Trias Politica observed that calls to dissolve the DPR, though radical as symbols of discontent, could lead to dangerous institutional consequences.
