Lukashenka is interested in the opinion of Belarusians on the new Constitution

Lukashenko suggested conducting a sociological study on the constitutional reform

In the process of developing the document, it is necessary to conduct a large-scale sociological study. This proposal was made by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with a working group on finalizing the draft of the basic law, BelTA informs.

According to him, it is important for the authorities to know the opinion of citizens, and not only on the subject of constitutional reform, but also on other topical issues.

“I think it is also necessary to conduct a large-scale sociological study on this topic, covering various regions and strata of the population. As we did on the eve of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, ”Lukashenka stressed. The Belarusian leader added that the draft Constitution should be finalized as soon as possible, eliminating all contradictions on the proposals put forward by the Constitutional Commission.

Against the background of the protests that gripped Belarus after the presidential elections on August 9, 2020, Lukashenko announced the need to amend The constitution and the redistribution of powers. In March 2021, he convened a special constitutional commission of 36 people and said that it would consider civil initiatives for a new project.

At the same time, the Belarusian opposition has developed its own draft constitution. It involves the transition of the state from a presidential to a parliamentary form of government, as well as a significant expansion of civil rights.
