The new Constitution: a stillborn project?

On 27 December, the text of the draft new Constitution that will be put to a referendum was published.

What configuration of power is planned under this draft, and which new articles of the Constitution attract the most attention?

Why does the new constitution propose enshrining the status of the so-called All-Belarusian People’s Assembly as a structure parallel to parliament and superior to it in powers?

What does this draft say about the so-called transition of power promised by Lukashenka?

Vital Tsyhankou sought answers to these questions together with Andrei Kazakevich, director of the Political Sphere Institute and Doctor of Political Science.

Some of the thoughts voiced by Andrei Kazakevich during the “Conversation”:
The powers of the so-called All-Belarusian People’s Assembly violate every possible principle of the separation of powers
The constitutional model proposed by Lukashenka resembles the Iranian one
In communication with society, the authorities will emphasize the Great Patriotic War
The constitution proposed by Lukashenka contains less ideology than it could have
