In Pati, Central Java, thousands of residents protested a 250% increase in property tax (Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan or PBB-P2) on August 13, 2025, demanding the resignation of Regent Sudewo. The protests escalated into physical clashes between demonstrators and combined security forces, ending early on August 20. The tax hike has sparked widespread anger, with the local legislative council's special committee (Pansus Hak Angket DPRD Pati) now reviewing the possibility of impeaching Regent Sudewo. The alliance of Pati residents accused Regent Sudewo's administration of attempting to undermine the impeachment movement. Meanwhile, Regent Sudewo has been absent from the DPRD plenary session amid the controversy, and local activists have planned demonstrations at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) office in Jakarta. The property tax increase and ensuing unrest reflect broader tensions over austerity measures under President Prabowo Subianto's administration. Separately, the Indonesian House of Representatives approved Inosentius Samsul as a Constitutional Court judge, replacing Arief Hidayat.
