|September 01, 2025
Indonesian political parties have agreed to cut lawmakers’ benefits, President Prabowo Subianto said Sunday, in a bid to calm anti-government protests that have killed at least five people in the country's worst violence in decades.
Protests began Monday over what demonstrators called excessive pay and housing allowances for parliamentarians, escalating into riots on Friday after a motorcycle rideshare driver was killed during police action at a protest site.
