Gorontalo heritage site demolition dispute

Overview

A legal and political dispute has emerged in Gorontalo regarding the demolition of the former Post and Telegraph Office Head’s residence. Gorontalo Mayor Adhan Dambea announced plans to report Minister of Culture Fadli Zon to the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri). The Mayor contends that the Minister’s statements unfairly implicated him in property damage and disputes the building’s status as a cultural heritage site, arguing that the necessary legal processes for such a designation were not followed.

Following these developments, the Aliansi Masyarakat Kota Gorontalo Bersatu (AMKGB) organized a protest at the Gorontalo Regional Police (Polda Gorontalo). The group demanded an end to what they termed the “criminalization of the Mayor,” suggesting that the dispute should be resolved through administrative or civil courts rather than criminal investigations. Protesters also raised concerns regarding the investigation into alleged police involvement in attacks on the Gorontalo City Satpol PP office.
