Why violent protests are sweeping across Indonesia

Season 2025 Episode 250 | 6m 54s

In recent weeks, Indonesia has been rocked by massive anti-government demonstrations. The protests are led by students, workers and women’s rights groups angered by the yawning gap between Indonesia’s elites and shrinking middle class, and turned violent after a delivery driver was killed amid a police crackdown. John Yang speaks with The Economist’s Aaron Connelly about the ongoing situation.
