Below you will find the original Indonesian text, the English one has been translated with DeepL and has been quickly reviewed by a native speaker.

Proclamation of the Indonesian Federalist Revolution 2025

1. Remove Prabowo-Gibran, dissolve the Red and White Cabinet, and abolish the presidential system.
2. Dissolve the House of Representatives and establish People's Councils in every village/sub-district.
3. Disarm and dissolve the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Indonesian National Police (POLRI), strengthen the Fire Department, and form/arm civil defense forces (Hansip as a people's militia) under the authority of each People's Council.
4. Demilitarize the state budget: eliminate the TNI-POLRI budget, transfer it entirely to health, education, public facility development, and village funds managed by the People's Council.
5. Dissolve the Republic and replace it with the Indonesian Democratic Confederalism system. Let the people govern themselves through federalism and direct democracy.

Through this statement, we advocate for the abolition of the parliamentary and presidential democratic systems based on general elections and political parties.

This proclamation encouraged the formation of Indonesian Democratic Confederalism. We do not want to repeat the same mistake of replacing one foreign colonizer with a native colonizer (1945), and replacing one native colonizer with another native colonizer (1965 and 1998).

We support decentralized bottom-up deliberation and consensus-building and encourage full autonomy with diversity in each region.

We call for civil disobedience and open rebellion among all Indonesian people. Spread the following message.

We call on every village/subdistrict to form its own people's council and declare that the oppressive laws and regulations of the Republic no longer apply within the jurisdiction of each People's Council.

We call on all members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces and National Police to desert and lay down their weapons, then submit to the authority of the nearest People's Council in their area and join the confederation's people's militia.

We call for all state infrastructure and public service facilities to be taken over and run by their workers, with costs waived for an indefinite period during the Revolution.

We call for a public trial by the people against the head of state and members of the Indonesian House of Representatives. Revolution, 100% Independence.
