He\nnoted that the aspirations reflect public anxiety over several national\npolicies that have a direct impact on daily life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The main points of the aspirations conveyed cover various strategic\nand national issues,\u2019 Buky said at the West Java DPRD office on Thursday\n(25\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that during a demonstration on 11 June 2026, students\nand various community elements submitted at least 11 demands.

They\nalso urged the central government to take concrete steps to maintain\neconomic stability and strengthen protections for vulnerable groups\naffected by the economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond economic matters, the protesters also voiced the importance of\nimproving regulations in the legal and security sectors. They pushed for\nthe government to be more responsive to various legal issues developing\nin society, while ensuring the protection of civil liberties and\ncitizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The rupiah exchange rate crisis and national economic sovereignty,\nas well as the rise in energy prices and its impact on public purchasing\npower, are part of the aspirations conveyed,\u2019 Buky stated.<\/p>\n<p>One programme that received particular attention from the students\nwas the Free Nutritious Meal Programme (MBG). The demonstrators\nrequested that the government conduct a thorough evaluation of the\nprogramme\u2019s implementation so that its benefits are more targeted,\nequitable, and able to meet the needs of the community.<\/p>\n<p>The West Java DPRD confirmed that all received aspirations have been\nforwarded to the DPR RI for consideration in the formulation of\nnational-level policies. The council hopes that the various inputs will\nbe heeded by the central government in formulating policies that are\nmore aligned with the interests of the wider public.<\/p>",
