JAKARTA, June 9 ― Indonesia's parliament will soon open a fresh debate of a flagship law that aimed to transform the country's investment climate, a senior lawmaker told Reuters, to comply with a court ruling that found fault with the way the legislation was passed.

Those unions are preparing this month to stage mass protests to try to pressure authorities to meet their demands. “This is a political space, we don't know whether political factions have the same understanding as before. Maybe the atmosphere has changed, we don't know.” Riden Hatam Aziz, who heads the Federation of Indonesian Metalworkers Union, said tens of thousands of workers will protest against efforts to preserve the legislation.“The analogy is like this: They built a house without following the rules. But they didn't want to be told they're wrong, so now they changed the rules,” he added, referring to the recent changes to lawmaking rules.
