A survey by Media Survei Nasional (Median) shows that 45.3% of respondents disagreed with the relocation of the capital city from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. 40.7% of respondents agreed, and 14% responded "don't know." Respondents who rejected the relocation cited more pressing issues that the government should prioritize over the capital city move.
The most pressing issue, chosen by 14.4% of respondents, was economic problems. Poverty and welfare issues ranked second, selected by 10.2%. Unemployment and job creation came in third, chosen by 6.4% of respondents. Issues in Papua were the fourth most pressing issue, also selected by 6.4% of respondents.
For context, Papua experienced unrest due to protests against racist remarks towards Papuan students in East Java. Currently, the situation in Papua is considered to be stabilizing.
