On June 17, 2013, demonstrations broke out in Indonesia against the national budget revision that would lead to a hike in gas prices. Demonstrators were met with tear gas and water cannons and despite the dissent, legislators proceeded to vote in favor of a 44% increase in subsidized gas and diesel fuel prices.
