The 212 reunion is planned to be held again this year. General Chairperson of the Alumni Brotherhood or PA 212, Slamet Maarif, said his party was preparing an event which is usually held at Monas, Central Jakarta, both from technical and police permits.
However, when asked whether he was optimistic about getting permission from the police to hold an event during the Covid-19 pandemic, Slamet Maarif did not give a firm answer. “There is no harm in trying,” he told Tempo on Saturday, November 6, 2021.
At this time, DKI Jakarta has PPKM Level 1. In the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 57 of 2021 it is stated that arts, culture, sports and social activities that can cause crowds and crowds are indeed allowed. However, the government limits the maximum capacity of 75 percent by implementing stricter health protocols and is required to use the Peduli Protect application.
Meanwhile, the 212 Reunion event is scheduled to be held on December 2, 2021. In the previous year, there was no 212 reunion at Monas. The Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), the National Movement to Guard Ulama Fatwa (GNPF-U), and PA 212 only held a National Dialogue on December 2, 2020.
Reunion 212 is an activity to commemorate the massive demonstration on December 2, 2016. At that time, the reunion mass demanded the punishment of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok, for blaspheming religion. After that, the 212 reunion was held every year
