Gede Suardana, Denpasar – The first 100 days of the Yudhoyono administration was also commemorated by two protest actions in the Balinese capital of Denpasar, although the number of demonstrators in the "island of the gods" was only around 200.

The first demonstration at the Bank Indonesia offices was organised by around 100 students from the Udayana University Student Executive Council (BEM) and 20 people from the Volunteers of the People's Struggle for the Liberation of the Motherland (Spartan).

Meanwhile 50 activists from the People's Alliance for Democracy and Human Rights demonstrated at the Bali DPRD, where they called on the factions supporting Yudhoyono to come out and meet with them. After a brief period they were met by legislators from all the parties except Yudhoyono's Democrat party.

"At the Century special committee at the national House of Representatives, the Democrat faction is busy making a scene, but in Bali, the Democrats have no voice", said one activist in a speech.

Ardham, which said that Yudhoyono administration was a failure and nothing more than sweet promises, also called for a full investigation into the Bank Century scandal, the eradication of the judicial mafia and an end to legal discrimination against the little people.
