TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - One of the city’s main road, Jalan Gatot Subroto, before the Parliament building is still closed for public traffic on Wednesday, October 2. The closure is due to the planned rally staged by the Confederation of Indonesian Workers’ Union (KSPI) today.

Only two Jakarta Transportation officials and one policeman riding a motorized vehicle are seen in conversation with KSPI members at the rally site.
