The rally participants come from organizations affiliated to Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, including the Indonesian Front (Barindo), the National Committee for Indonesian Community (KNMI), the Betawi Children Communication Forum (Forkabi), Democratic Cadre Communication Forum (FKKD), the Democratic Young Generation (GMD) and the Indonesian Democratic Youth Front (AMDI). Wearing blue and white T-shirts bearing a motto "Support SBY-Boediono until 2014", the crowd began to stream into the stadium at 9 a.m. They reached the venue of the rally on buses, truck and private cars. During the rally, the people unfurled banners, some of which read "Guard and protect SBY-Boediono's pro-people programs for the sake of people's welfare" and "Forkabi across the Greater Jakarta supports SBY-Boediono government until 2014". "As supporters of SBY-Boediono we have to remain solid. Certain groups that have criticized SBY-Boediono and demanded Boediono's replacement should not discourage us," one of the rally speakers told the audience. The rally comes in the face of a House of Representatives plenary session on Tuesday to respond to an inquiry into the Bank Century bailout in November 2008. Two Yudhoyono's coalition partners - the Golkar Party and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), and opposition sides have recommended a legal process against Boediono and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati for their role in the controversial bailout. While other parties stop short of requesting Boediono's impeachment, the PKS has openly demanded a process to dismiss the Vice President.
