Bandung students protest President Prabowo's government

Students from multiple universities and organizations across Bandung, West Java, are holding simultaneous demonstrations on June 15, 2026, to protest the administration of President Prabowo Subianto. The protests are scheduled to take place at the West Java Provincial DPRD building and the regional Bank Indonesia office.

Student executive bodies from various campuses have issued calls to action. BEM Universitas Widyatama is organizing a protest themed "Indonesia Sick," gathering at the airport. BEM Universitas Pasundan plans a demonstration titled "Indonesia Bankrupt" outside the Bank Indonesia office. The Alliance of BEM Nusantara is also converging at the DPRD building, starting from Universitas Islam Bandung.

Other participating institutions include BEM Digitech University, with a theme of "Indonesia's Sins," and Dema UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, also heading to the DPRD. The Alliance of Suci Student and the Indonesian National Student Movement (GMNI) in Bandung are also joining the protest at the DPRD.

These actions in Bandung are part of a broader "Reformasi Jilid 2" movement occurring across Indonesia. In Jakarta, BEM Universitas Bung Karno and Sema Universitas Paramadina are demonstrating at the Presidential Palace. Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam (HMI) in Semarang is also holding a protest, calling for the "overthrow of Prabowo-Gibran."
