The report critiques the Indonesian government's plan to move its capital to East Kalimantan, specifically in the Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara regencies. It argues that the project is a 'political commodity' designed to benefit oligarchs and corporations who hold extensive mining, forestry, and plantation concessions in the area. The document highlights significant environmental threats, including the destruction of mangrove ecosystems in Balikpapan Bay, the risk of floods, and continued reliance on coal power. It also warns of the marginalization and potential eviction of indigenous peoples, such as the Balik tribe, and criticizes the lack of transparency in financing and public participation.

The report argues that the relocation of Indonesia's capital to East Kalimantan is a 'mega project' designed to benefit political oligarchs and corporations rather than the public. It highlights that the proposed 180,965-hectare site is not empty land but is already occupied by numerous mining, forestry, and plantation concessions linked to high-ranking politicians and their families. The document warns of severe ecological risks, including the destruction of mangrove ecosystems in Balikpapan Bay, the persistence of coal-fired power plants (PLTU), and the displacement of indigenous groups like the Suku Balik. It further criticizes the lack of public participation and the financial instability of the project, which estimates a cost of Rp 466 trillion.
