Many young people are in the CJP. They use Instagram to talk. They have 22 million followers. This is more than the ruling party. They call themselves 'cockroaches' because a judge used that word for young people.

許多年輕人加入了 CJP。他們使用 Instagram 進行溝通,擁有 2200 萬名追蹤者,人數超過了執政黨。他們自稱為「蟑螂」,因為一名法官曾使用該詞來形容年輕人。
