JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The government has issued a government regulation in lieu of law (Perppu) No. 2/2017, which amends the Law on Mass Organizations. The Perppu aims to prevent the dissemination of anti-Pancasila ideology by several mass organizations.
The Perppu has won the support of several groups, including Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), but its issuance was also seen to ignore the principles of democracy.
