00:00The world has been a long time for the time.
00:04The world has been a long time for the time.
00:09Today, our journey is to give up to the time of the time of Kazakhstan.
00:31March 15 will now be marked in the history of Kazakhstan.
00:35The country voted for its new constitution in a national referendum.
00:39The turnout amounted to 73% and 87% of them voted yes, making the referendum pass.
01:11More than 12 million of eligible population voted across 10,000 polling stations in Kazakhstan and abroad.
01:19The three main changes in the new constitution are the unicumeral parliament,
01:23the reestablishment of the vice-president position and empowering the People's Council.
01:27You know, because of the changes in the social relations,
01:30the first question was about the parliamentary reform.
01:33The fact is that in a state, there is only a unicumeral parliament.
01:36And in Kazakhstan, in 1995, despite the fact that there was a two-cumeral parliament.
01:41The law needed to take quickly, effectively, properly and at the time.
01:45And because of this, the question was about the need of the unicumeral parliament.
01:49Initially, the government planned to amend around 40 articles as part of the parliamentary reform,
01:54but soon realized that they would have to change more than 80%.
01:58Since it would effectively mean a new main document,
02:01the president decided to take the issue to the national referendum.
02:03If you look at the history, the constitution is a logical continuation of the reforms that began in 2019.
02:10So, the political modernization that continued, led to that we now need to take a new constitution.
02:20It is happy that in the discussion of this project, there were almost 12,000 people involved.
02:27Kazakhstan has been using the previous constitution for the past 30 years.
02:31To move away from the Soviet past, the country adopted a new constitution in 1993,
02:36and then changed it again in 1995.
02:39Now, the country has decided to take another step into the future
02:41and consider the challenges of today.
03:03The bulletin has only one question. Are you for or against the new constitution?
03:08Today, citizens exercise their right to vote and determine the future of their country.
03:15Some voters showed up as early as 7 am, while others turned voting into a family activity,
03:20showing their children the significance of casting a vote.
03:23If we get to vote, we will be able to vote for everyone.
03:32If we get to vote for everyone, we will be able to vote for everyone.
03:34If we get to vote for everyone, we will be able to vote for everyone.
03:39Observers from 34 countries found that the referendum was in accordance with both Kazakhstan's legislation, constitution and laws,
03:46as well as international standards.
03:48In the United States, as you know, there are a lot of issues focused on human rights, democracy, civil society,
03:57the rule of law.
03:59Having these issues addressed in the referendum reflects the knowledge, the belief that Kazakhstan understands how important it is to
04:11have a transparent and open legal process.
04:13They also noted active participation of civil society and the willingness of Kazakh citizens to become legal observers.
04:20And I was quite impressed about the number of these observers, because regularly in Poland there is one, two, maybe
04:26three people.
04:27And here is like crowds, around ten people on each polling station, so that's a lot.
04:33And I was quite impressed about that.
04:35And that also is a sign that the society is aware how important this referendum is.
04:41Until July 1st, the current parliament will have to adopt five new constitutional laws and amend eight existing, after which
04:48it will be dissolved.
04:49The country will have new parliamentary elections after that, which should be finished by the time the new political season
04:54starts.
04:55Continuing어요, continue to foreseeable about food differences at the time the new political season and truthful pourraeness of the country.
04:55And meanwhile I think that the loi on Do weekends...
04:57The country will understand how important this economy is.
04:59The country will reinforce whether its solo quien or Europeanáticas group members will do their own colaborationchten것.
04:59The country will restore these girls.
