According to Hilman, his party accommodates the concerns of the people who have limitations in conveying their aspirations to the government. His party then responded to this by holding demonstrations.
“We respond in the form of concrete actions, demonstrations,” said Hilman when contacted CNNindonesia.com, Wednesday (4/8).
Hilman said that PB HMI had freed cadres in the regions to choose the time of the action from August 6-13.
His party also instructed Badko HMI to hold a summit in front of their respective regional DPRD offices on 16 August. Meanwhile, PB HMI will hold an action in front of the MPR-DPR RI building.
As a lighter, PB HMI also plans to hold an action at the Merdeka Palace on Friday (6/8).
“A point of action has emerged, namely the State Palace. Jabodetabek-Banten will join us on the 6th or we are still waiting for this until tonight,” explained Hilman.
According to Hilman, so far there have been a number of HMI coordinating bodies (badko) in the regions that have confirmed that they will take action on 6 August. The badko include North Sumatra, DKI Jakarta, South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and Central Kalimantan.
His party knew that the police did not allow this action because it was still in the implementation of PPKM Level 4 so it was impossible to give permission. However, it has sent a notification.
“But in the law it is explained that it is not a permit, just a notification,” he said.
