75-80% of Belarusians are planning to go to referendum - this is the latest data of the opinion survey. This was stated to journalists by Nikolai Shchekin, Candidate of philosophical sciences. The importance of participation in the voting and the novelties of the Constitution were discussed today at the dialog platform on February 1. Nikolai Shchekin said that the President's Address to the people and the National Assembly clearly showed that the changes in the Basic Law of the country are necessary. Many people are concerned about the authority of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, preservation of historical memory and protection of their health.
Nikolai Shchekin, Head of the Department of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus:
The draft Constitution is the future, it is the shield of the Belarusian people. I think and I am sure that in two-three years, maybe in five years, this draft Constitution will become a model for the entire world community.
