2025 Indonesian student protests, nicknamed the #DarkIndonesia demonstrations (Indonesian: demo #IndonesiaGelap), are a series of ongoing student-led demonstrations against government throughout several cities in Indonesia, launched on 17 February 2025 by the All-Indonesian Students' Union (BEM SI).[8]

According to central coordinator Herianto, BEM SI has called for protests all over the country on 17 and 18 February (cancelled at Jakarta), while they would hold the protest centrally at Jakarta on 19, 20,[8] and 21 February, with the latter also invited civilians to participate in the protests.[9] They projected that around 5,000 students would participate in the protests.[10]

Background

[edit]
Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025, released on 22 January 2025

The protests occurred as a response over controversial policies by Indonesian president Prabowo Subianto and his vice Gibran Rakabuming Raka, which include the free nutritious meal [id] (MBG) programme and the enactment of Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025, which led into massive budget cuts, supposedly to fund the free nutritious meal programme.[11] The nickname #IndonesiaGelap itself originates as a hashtag popular on Twitter (X). According to Beautynesia, the hashtag had been used by more than 760 thousand tweets,[12] but within 24 hours, this number has increased up to 14 million tweets.[13] While according to coordinator of BEM SI, Satria Naufal, it represents "the fears, worries, and well-being of the citizens".[14]

Meanwhile, during protests on 17 February, Prabowo attended a closed meeting together with his ministers of Red and White Cabinet at Istana Merdeka while discussing various strategic issues such as online gambling. They were also seen having lunch together.[15] At the same time, all 8 fractions of DPR agreed to officially ratify the proposed revision of Mineral and Coal Law in 13th plenary session on 18 February.[16][17]

Demands

[edit]
This image was previously popular during 2024 Indonesian local election law protests, but was changed from dark blue to black in light of the event.

A popular image in support of the student protests is based on the fictional Emergency Alert System (EAS) shown above, but with a black instead of a blue background. This has led into the P.E.N.T.O.L. 'meatball' movement, which is itself a backronym consisting of six political demands (although the following came on 4 February, predating the protests):[18]

  • Polisi diberesin ('The police must be resolved')
  • Energi buat rakyat ('Energy for the people')
  • Naikkan taraf hidup rakyat ('Increase the people's well-being')
  • Tunaikan tukin untuk guru, ASN dan dosen ('Pay allowances for teachers, state employees, and lecturers')
  • Output MBG diperbaiki ('Fix the output of free nutritious meal')
  • Lawan mafia tanah dan lengserkan pejabat tolol ('Fight land mafias and topple down stupid officials')

It was preceded by similarly anti-government Adili Jokowi ('bring Jokowi to justice') protests, which occurred at Surakarta on 14 February 2025, demanding for investigation of the cases he involved. However, 10 minutes later, the protesters dispersed after heavy rain.[19] Alongside this, there have been instances of graffiti bearing the inscription Adili Jokowi throughout parts of Java, such as Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Malang, many of them were later removed by local authorities.[20] This slogan has later become one of 5 demands presented by BEM UI during the student protests.[21]

  1. Repeal the Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025, being perceived that it could harm the people.
  2. Calling for status transparency of development and performance of the free nutritional meal programme.
  3. Reject the attempts to revise Mineral and Coal Law and Dwifungsi Law.
  4. Arrest and bring former president Joko Widodo into justice.
  5. Ratify the Asset Seizure Law.

Musician Iwan Fals, nonetheless, has criticised this demand and questioned what are his faults in office.[22] Founder of KedaiKOPI, Hendri Satrio, has also doubted the success of this movement, stating that it would be difficult for the Prabowo's government to arrest and bring Jokowi into justice.[23]

On 17 February 2025, during the protests in Jakarta, coordinator Bagas Wisnu read out the following 13 demands to the government.[24][25]

  1. Free, scientific, and democratic education.
  2. Genuine agrarian reforms.
  3. Reject the revision attempts of Mineral and Coal Law.
  4. Remove dwifungsi of ABRI
  5. Enact the Traditional Society Bill.
  6. Repeal the Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025.
  7. Total evaluation of the free nutritious meal programme.
  8. Realise the budget for lecturers' allowances.
  9. Asset Seizure Government Regulation in Lieu of Law.
  10. Reject the revision attempts of TNI, Polri, and Judiciary Law.
  11. Streamline and reshuffle the cabinet.
  12. Reject the revision of DPR Code of Conduct.
  13. Reform of the police.
