TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A Facebook image [archived] claims to show drone footage of a protest at the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) building in Jakarta on August 27, 2026. The image depicts a crowd in an open area near two gray-and-white monuments. The accompanying narrative links the scene to demands for the passing of the Asset Recovery Bill and the imposition of the death penalty for corruptors. Does the photo actually show a demonstration in Jakarta?
FACT CHECK
Tempo verified the content using a Google reverse image search and compared it with credible information. Although a protest did indeed take place at the DPR on August 27, 2026, the photo actually originates from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Image Verification
The image is a screenshot from a video showing Argentines watching an event together at Plaza Seeber, Buenos Aires, on June 23, 2026. It was previously posted by the Argentine media account Somos Corta on X and the Facebook account of politician Jorge Macri.
According to Somos Corta, residents watched a live broadcast of the 2026 World Cup match between Argentina and Austria at Dallas Stadium in Texas, USA. Argentina won 2–0.
Tempo compared the location of the photo with Google Earth. Plaza Seeber features two monuments facing each other: a gray monument with a statue of Juan Manuel de Rosas and the white Carta Magna y las Cuatro Regiones monument.
CONCLUSION
Tempo's verification concludes that the claim identifying the image as drone footage of the demonstration at the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) building in Jakarta on August 27, 2026, is false.
