🇮🇳 Indian farmers are marching towards New Delhi in protest of agricultural policies. Tens of thousands of farmers began protesting this week seeking higher produce prices, a new pension system, and debt relief. The protest is a renewal of a year-long movement between 2020 and 2021 that led to the repeal of various agricultural laws, with farmers saying the government hasn’t kept the promises it made back then. New Delhi authorities are barricading entry points to block the protesters from reaching the capital city.

🇮🇩 Indonesia Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto claimed victory in the presidential election. The former general claimed victory based on unofficial tallies, which showed he had ~60% of votes with over 80% of the vote counted in the sampled polling places – though the official count may not be finished for up to a month. Subianto is linked with various human rights abuses from his time as a general during Indonesia’s 30+ year-long dictatorship, which he denies.
