Members of workers organisations, fisher folks, peasants and others, gathered at 2pm at the Indosat building (Jl Thamrin) and marched peacefully to the Presidential Palace asking for an « Indonesia without neoliberalism ». People are oppressed by current economic policies that put land, water and sea under the control of transnational companies and that undermine workers rights. Protesters raised key national issues such as the new investment law, import and liberalisation of food products, labour law, global warming and debt. The demonstration was organised by « Gerak Lawan », the Indonesian movement against nelocolonialism and neoliberalism that brings together workers, farmers, women, fisherfolks, students, anti-debt and environmental organisations. The Indonesian Peasants Union (SPI), member of the international movement La Via Campesina actively took part in this action.
The Army of Clowns
At the Anti War in Afghanistan Demo last year in Berlin, there was also the army of clowns and the initiative against the "bombodrom" which is a territory near Berlin, where the German army plans to practice dropping bombs. Since activists - at the run up of the protests against the G8 summit last summer - painted a watch tower pink - which freaked out the army officials who hasted to repaint it, as for them pink is the colour of homosexuality , feminism and all the other things that offend them, the symbol colour of the campaign is now pink and the slogan is "Every target is a home" since the target pyramid there was designed as abstract as possible to keept the soldiers practicing from thinking of the people they would kill if they dropped a bomb on them.
