Rallies expected across Indonesia as anger simmers over fuel price hike

Thousands of people were expected to join demonstrations across Indonesia on Tuesday, police and union leaders said, as anger mounts over the government’s hiking of the price of subsidised fuel in Southeast Asia’s largest economy. Under pressure to control a ballooning energy subsidy budget, President Joko Widodo on Saturday announced the price of subsidised fuel would be increased by about 30%, after weeks of speculation of a hike. Said Iqbal, head of the Indonesian Trade Union Federation, said in a statement late Monday that up to 5,000 people would protest in Jakarta and thousands more elsewhere, to demand the government revoke a decision that has hit workers, farmers, fishermen and the urban poor the hardest.
