The government admittedly citizens above 18 years old held a meeting and gathering. But time will tell to apply vergader-verbod or restriction to hold a meeting, because it is against the government. Every meeting must have approval from the police. After that, the meeting will be on full surveillance by the Politieke Inlichtingen Dienst (PID), sort of political intelligence agency. This house of 106 is also always in the intelligence service, including the third meeting of the second Youth Congress. In this building also appeared the Indonesia Raya magazine, managed by PPPI.
