On Thursday (22/8), various groups, including academics, students, workers, and celebrities, held a demonstration in front of the Indonesian House of Representatives Building. This action was triggered by the DPR's rapid revision of the Pilkada Bill, which was considered to ignore the Constitutional Court (MK) ruling. The protesters considered the bill a form of robbery of democracy .

However, amidst the crowd of mass action in front of the DPR building followed by a number of artists, Raffi Ahmad actually left for Bandung. He accompanied Joko Widodo's eldest son or the vice president-elect, Gibran Rakabuming to visit Bandung. At that time, Gibran's agenda was to review Pasar Baru.

It is known that Raffi Ahmad and Gibran visited the Lembang area, West Bandung Regency. In addition, the former Mayor of Solo also visited Bandung City. Gibran looked at a number of shops in Pasar Baru, namely clothing stores to other stores.

Although it seemed to be welcomed by the surrounding community, the moment immediately drew criticism from netizens. Many said that his actions showed a lack of concern for the situation in this country. Moreover, a number of other elements of society were demonstrating in front of the DPR building.

"In Jakarta, in front of the honorable DPR building, students and the people are fighting, sir!!" said one netizen.

The following is a collection of Raffi Ahmad's moments when accompanying Gibran on a field trip to Bandung amidst the rampant demonstrations. All were collected by brilio.net from the Instagram account @zul.hasan on Thursday (22/8).
