Petition 28 threatened to remove President Susilo Bambang Yudoyono (SBY), who was considered to have failed to investigate the Century Bank scandal case. They will mobilize a million masses to "surround" the presidential palace, right on the Youth Pledge Day, October 20, 2010. The demonstration of a million masses is dedicated to commemorating the sixth anniversary of President SBY's reign.
This was said by Petisi 28 senior activist, Haris Rusli Moti, in a press conference for the one-year evaluation of the SBY-Boediono administration at Doekoen Coffee, Pancoran, South Jakarta, Sunday (26/9/2010).
There are four main demands that will be submitted at the action which is planned to be held on 20 October.
"Our main demands, lower SBY, lower prices, expel the foreign invaders (neolib companies) and thoroughly investigate the Century scandal," he said in a press conference attended by fifteen people from various elements of NGOs, students and mass organizations.

According to the plan, Petition 28 together with more than 10 mass organizations such as BEM throughout Indonesia, the Federation of Indonesian Peasants' Union, the Standing Workers Alliance, Bendera and others will hold a massive action to commemorate and remove SBY-Boediono who is considered to have failed to run the government.
"One million people on the streets, that's our strength, we will be surrounded and if we can occupy the palace (president). We want the current government leaders to fall, this nation must be independent and sovereign, ”he continued.
According to him, the two main reasons for the president to step down were the President's neglect of foreign companies that continued to exploit domestic natural resources and the failure of the SBY administration to investigate the Century case.

Furthermore, said Haris, on September 28, there will be another meeting to finalize the action at the LBH Indonesia office on Jalan Diponegoro.
PETITION 28: SBY DOES NOT BRING WELFARE
According to Petition 28, before the six years of SBY's administration and one year with Boediono, it is considered that there has been no progress in improvement and welfare. SBY is even considered to have failed to resolve conflicts between state institutions and society.
"Various kinds of unresolved conflicts make government performance unable to run effectively and efficiently. So there is no more reason to maintain this government, "said Haris.
… Various kinds of conflicts are not resolved so that government performance cannot run effectively and efficiently. So there is no more reason to maintain this government ...
Petition 28 noted that the unresolved Century scandal was the main reason for the failure of SBY's leadership along with his deputy Boediono.
Other cases, he continued, include the recent one, namely the judicial review of Yusril Ihza Mahendra which was finally granted by the Constitutional Court by ruling that Attorney General Hendarman was invalid since last Wednesday (22/9/2010).
Therefore, continued Rusli, a national community movement is needed to remind and even hold SBY-Boediono accountable for his failures.
According to him, there are at least three important moments that must be used to overthrow the SBY government, namely, next October 20 because it coincides with one year of SBY-Boediono's administration and six years of SBY's administration, October 28 to coincide with National Youth Pledge Day and November 10 to coincide with Heroes' Day.
"This is done to make a change from opinion power to real power," he said.
… Chairman of BEM Indonesia Adiyatma said that SBY's government was still fake, there were still many people who were not yet independent. The SBY government is only filled with branding and sharing positions ...
In the same vein, Chairman of BEM Indonesia Adiyatma said that SBY's government was still fake, there were still many people who were not yet independent.
"So far, we are still correcting the plan on October 28. We will evaluate the SBY government, because so far it is still weak, "he said.
He further said that corruption was still rampant, the Century case was unclear. "The SBY government is only filled with branding and sharing positions," he said.
For him, the events that have occurred so far have been formed to cover the mistakes of the Government. Adiyatma gave an example if five criminals were caught in the media three, the rest was to cover up the next mistake. [This is, Okezone, Voa-Islam]. *
