TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Andri, a street vendor from Tangerang, stood among the crowd queuing to enter Indonesia's Presidential Palace in Central Jakarta on Monday, March 31, 2025.
The 46-year-old had come to attend the presidential open house hosted by Prabowo Subianto, who welcomed the public to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
Accompanied by his wife and children, Andri hoped for the chance to shake hands with Prabowo and share his concerns. He wished for greater government support for street vendors.
"I hope the country pays attention to street vendors and that the economy remains stable," Andri told Tempo at the State Palace complex on Monday, March 31, 2025.
Before visiting the State Palace, Andri attended the Eid prayer at Istiqlal Mosque, Central Jakarta. The mosque is 1 kilometer away from the Presidential Palace complex.
According to Tempo's observation, the queue to enter the State Palace complex had been snaking since 08.00 AM WIB (Western Indonesia TIme).
The entrance route to the open house, located at the main gate of the Ministry of State Secretariat office, was crowded with people.
Inside the palace, Prabowo had prepared to welcome guests. He had earlier performed the Eid prayer at Istiqlal Mosque.
There were no special requirements for people who wanted to attend the president's open house at the palace.
