Anger as Indonesia law allows military bigger role in government

Indonesia’s parliament has passed controversial reforms expanding the military’s role in government, allowing active-duty officers to hold civilian positions without retiring.

Critics warn this could revive authoritarianism reminiscent of Suharto’s dictatorship.

Backed by President Prabowo Subianto, a former general, the changes raise military retirement ages and increase the number of civilian institutions they can join.

Thousands protested, fearing democracy is eroding, the BBC has reported.

Rights groups argue this shift undermines accountability and civil liberties, signaling a broader consolidation of power under Prabowo.
