MINSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th July, 2021) Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko criticized draft amendments to the national constitution and said he resubmitted the proposals for revision.
"Today I resubmitted all this scripture to you [those who presented draft amendments]. Brace yourself and try to bring it in line before submitting it to reading at the president's level. And then, as I promised, we will sit down and go through each section and each article. Then we will put it to a nationwide vote, let people get familiar with it. We will hold the referendum no later than February," Lukashenko said, as quoted by state-run news agency Belta.
