Police clash with protesters over Indonesia law change #KawalPutusanMK #TolakPolitikDinasti
On Wednesday, Indonesia's top court ruled that parties would not need a minimum 20% of representation in their regional assemblies in order to field a candidate. Yet within 24 hours, parliament tabled an emergency motion to reverse these changes - a move which has sparked widespread condemnation and fears of a constitutional crisis. A vote on the fast-tracked legislation, which would reverse parts of the court's ruling, was postponed on Thursday because there were not enough MPs present. passed, it would maintain the status quo, which favours parties in the ruling coalition of the outgoing president, Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, and his successor, Prabowo Subianto. As a result, many local elections are expected to be uncontested affairs.
