Belarus needs a new constitution, and it is with it that you need to start changes, and not with a coup. This was announced on July 9 by Alexander Lukashenko, speaking in the presidential palace to propagandists. The head of the post-Soviet republic, speaking of changes, called for the improvement of the current system. At the same time, he noted: Perfecting, we must start with the Constitution. If we start with the Maidan, we'll cross out our story. Both our tolerance and pamyarkoўnasc' (prudency, approx. News agency) will all go ashes. Therefore, we must make a new Constitution. Yes, a lot of time has passed, certain changes are needed. True, you will tell me what changes you need.
