Kazakhstan will hold a referendum on March 15 to vote on a new constitution proposed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The amendments aim to redistribute powers, strengthen checks and balances, and update the constitution to reflect current realities. Key changes include a stronger presidential role, reinstatement of the vice president position, and the establishment of a unicameral parliament called Kurultai. The new constitution also modifies provisions on freedom of speech, language use, and personal data protection. If adopted, it will take effect on July 1. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
