“Thus this press release was made accompanied by an apology to the entire Indonesian community in order to reorganize for future struggles,” Viva said.

It is known that Eko Patrio and Uya Kuya were the target of mob anger. The homes of two PAN cadres were mob-looted.

Eko and Uya were two of a number of DPR members who ran after the Annual Session of the MPR, Friday (15/8/2025). The action then sparked public anger because it was considered inappropriate to do in the midst of difficult community conditions.

The two have also made public apology videos via their respective social media accounts.
