The government does not need to raise fuel prices, considering most people in Indonesia are among the middle class. This will create inflation, which in turn is bad for them. Although it was just a BLT held fast solution and short post fuel price hike, and it will not be able to help the community meet to individual life. Then there is the struggle useless workers ask for a raise, if the fuel is rising when workers feel when their welfare needs and daily transport to be expensive. ika should be an increase in fuel prices, the government should be able to explain the purpose of the increase in detail and transparency. So that people can understand.
