Rohman Taufiq, Surabaya – About a hundred high school (SMA) students from Surabaya, Gresik, and Sidoarjo, demonstrated together at the Negara Grahadi building in Surabaya, today (10/7).

They asked people in East Java to participate in a governor's election on July 23. "Being a member of the white-group is not a solution, yet it is not a mature political attitude," said Melinda, student from SMA Kartika Surabaya, the coordinator.

They suggested that people not be involved with money politics by not receiving anything from governors' candidates.

"People thought it was right keeping the money while not voting for the candidate," she said. "It is wrong. People should not take the money nor vote for the candidate."

In this demonstration, students waved the banner saying 'Use your heart to vote'; 'Being a member of the white-group is not a solution for East Java'; and stickers written, 'Different Choices, But Peace'
