Indonesians Protest Election Law Changes, Alleging Political Dynasties

Demonstrations continue despite parliament shelving controversial amendments; concerns over Jokowi's influence persist.

Protests erupted after attempts to alter election laws to favor President Widodo's family.
Thousands rallied across multiple cities, facing tear gas and water cannons from police.
Critics accuse Widodo of trying to establish a political dynasty before stepping down in October.
The Constitutional Court upheld the minimum age requirement, blocking Widodo's son from running.
Public discontent is fueled by perceptions of the Widodo family's lavish lifestyle.
