Mass demonstrations intensified in major Indonesian cities on August 30, 2025, as citizens voiced frustration over rising living costs and economic instability. In Jakarta, Surabaya, and Madiun, protesters clashed with security forces, leading to significant unrest. The unrest was exacerbated by the burning of several bus stations and widespread vandalism, prompting Transjakarta to suspend services citywide. Authorities reported that the protests were largely peaceful until early morning hours, but tensions escalated as the day progressed. The government has yet to release an official statement, but the situation remains volatile. Analysts suggest that the ongoing demonstrations could lead to broader political ramifications if the economic issues are not addressed promptly.
