Beware of KAMI Provocation to Take advantage of Labor Demonstration Momentum

The demonstrations against the omnibus law, one of which was spearheaded by the Coalition for the Action to Save Indonesia (KAMI), made the people tired. After there was a demonstration as well as a mass strike for 3 days, then there was another demonstration on 13 October. There may be a follow-up demonstration until the opponents are satisfied. In fact, the damage to yesterday’s demonstration cost billions.

The demonstration against the omnibus law on Jalan Merdeka Barat yesterday ended in riots, and the masses even dared to fight against the authorities. This condition is very sad, because they convey their aspirations but in a barbaric way. Even though President Jokowi had made a speech to explain the omnibus law, the masses still insisted on demonstrating.

The demonstrators, consisting of workers, members of mass organizations, and civilians, felt proud to be able to vote. Moreover, they are supported by KAMI. KAMI Presidium, Gatot Nurmantyo, has issued an official statement that they support demonstrations against the omnibus law. So that the protesters feel protected by the big names of OUR members.

Even though there are shrimp behind the rock. KAMI goal to support the demonstrators is not because they are against the omnibus law, but because they want to provoke a follow-up demonstration, again and again. This is done so that the government is inconvenienced. Also deliberately colliding between the people who were demonstrating with the government.

KAMI support the protesters to make them more diligent in making acts of anarchy. If there is a riot, KAMI will benefit. Because they only had to ride on the popularity of the demo and seemed to be saviors, so that there would be no more chaos in Indonesia. As the name implies, namely saving Indonesia.

But how can they save Indonesia if they provoke workers to demonstrate? Instead, there were more people contracting corona from the demonstration cluster. Instead of surviving, the number of Covid-19 patients in this country has skyrocketed. Evidenced by the demonstrators who were tested rapidly, there were 12 people who tested positive for corona. Pity!

After there are new corona victims from the demonstration cluster, is there any physical and moral assistance from US? Are they willing to pay for medical expenses that reach hundreds of millions of rupiah? Because the demonstrators may not have a BPJS card. When demonstrators have to be self-isolated, they can be isolated and only wait for KAMI to receive compensation, which never comes.

Instead of making peace, WE have participated in spreading corona, even though indirectly. By encouraging the workers to demonstrate. Even though during a demonstration, how many losses were incurred? The DKI Regional Government must replace the damaged infrastructure. The community is also affected by the sap. Because they are not free to do their activities when there are demonstrations.

In fact, a month ago KAMI raised objections to the simultaneous regional elections which they thought could lead to a new cluster. However, earlier this October, they even supported a mass strike as well as a demonstration against the omnibus law. Even though it is clear that this activity can cause the spread of corona, because there is no guarding distance.

This shows KAMI are not assertive in dealing with a problem. How can any of their representatives be candidates for Presden if they show this wishy-washy nature? The people should have realized it, and no longer be influenced by the incitement of US, to reject the omnibus law and continue the demonstration in front of the DPR building.

The people should be aware of KAMI provocation and stop being influenced by their support. They only ride demonstrations, but they do not save the people from the effects of the pandemic. The omnibus law is only used as an excuse, because they are only consumed by the hoax of the Law. Besides, the Law consists of 800 sheets, have WE read it carefully?

Beware of KAMI reason that pretends to save Indonesia and participate in rejecting the omnibus law. In fact, support for workers is only meant as a shield. Also provocation so that the people continue to hate the government and hold demonstrations again, until KAMI are satisfied and emerge as the piningit satrio. They are only able to sing while making a mess.
