Many Indonesians now see Jokowi’s attempts to position his sons in power as a betrayal of the democratic principles he once championed, igniting mass protests.
With tens of thousands marching in opposition, the public perception has shifted considerably, viewing President Joko's maneuvers as an encroachment on democracy.
Protesters expressed outrage that Jokowi's constitutional changes would benefit his children, contradicting his prior promise of not channeling power to his family.
The anger directed at President Joko speaks to a larger fear: that Indonesia's democracy, fragile and only recently established, may be eroding under his leadership.
