for the referendum the months of political turmoil traffic reports now from the capitol. curious families have been enjoying the spring sunshine after a long winter of the soul momentous political events in the central asian country one often described as the most democratic in the region but that may be changing. since the new president's plan to change the constitution could be a step backwards on the path towards full democracy. people have a strong will towards freedom we don't tolerate backward steps away from democracy there are more serious issues to be solved in the country than the constitutional referendum such as an implement but it's better not to destroy what we have already achieved so far. which is the day that the president sort of. jailed by supporters during protests after parliamentary elections were nolde in october following widespread allegations of vote buying he was serving an 11 year prison term for

kidnapping a time crime he denies because he was out of the country when it happened. in the 6 months since sort of your power off was greeted by supporters on the steps he has changed the political landscape in kyrgyzstan dramatically even before he won the presidential election in january he said that the parliamentary system of governance in kyrgyzstan had failed he described the system as being dysfunctional and corrupt critics propose changes to the 2010 constitution show he is trying to impose a flora tarion formal rule one which we can check and balances needed to prevent abuses of power this. proposed text on the constitution is going to change the rules of the game at least at the high level toward serious centralization of power in the office of the president and to such an extent that

it's. basically no national level institution will be able to do anything without participation signed off on its by the president's names on the plaques of those killed during 2 of the 3 revolutions kyrgyzstan has had since independence following the breakup of the soviet union 30 years ago the fight for democratic rights is something curious people are proud of young members of the recently established reform party campaigning in municipal elections which are being held on the same day as the referendum. back at the amusement park people enjoy the warm weather. there's no sign of the

political upheaval of recent months would you president's plans because change that many say would put the brakes on decades of democratic gains. and we can go live to where charles joins us tell us more about the these changes being proposed. some of the major changes that are being proposed that are causing so much controversy and concern among critics include his ability as president. appoint cabinet members to suggestion introduced legislation to veto legislation put forward by parliament as well also the appointment of people like the defense minister even the head of the national bank. reaching proposals that his critics are serious

a threat to this country's democratic progress progress that the country is very proud of having. since independence following the breakup of the soviet union. one of the main bones of contention is among civil society groups society in general they're saying that they have not been consulted enough in the formulation all of this all these constitutional changes they say that members of the constitutional council around 90 individuals they will put forward to by the acting president who himself was put forward by actually president then japan off so before he stepped down as acting president in order for him to stand in the presidential elections of course which he won relatively convincingly back in january so there are some serious concerns here about how this country is moving forward but it's also fair to say that it has been incredibly chaotic here politically over the last last few months to power for himself doesn't see this is

being a step back on the path towards full democracy he in fact thinks it's a step forward he says that basically 10 years of the previous constitutional parliamentary system was dysfunctional in his words he says that the experiment what he described the experiment in parliamentary democracy was a failure and he says that there needs to be far more streamlined process far more clarity in the decision making process of politics in government and here if indeed any kind of political progress and economic progress in the long term is going to be made in this country then how is it's all going down with the public child could there be any pushback. well it depends on who you speak to nick. one that presidential election in january with 80 percent of the vote put that in context voter turnout was on the 40 percent

energy that can be galvanized on the streets if indeed they are unhappy with the pace of political and economic change in the country as we've seen 3 revolutions 3 governments top pulled in street protests in what's described as revolutions since independence 30 years ago so yeah they want to see results no matter whether they support these constitutional proposals or not or it was how it all pans out to charles and biscuit traffic. still ahead here on al-jazeera. groups put up a joint front in mid ma we'll tell you what it could mean for the country's military leaders plus. the military honor for britain's long serving royal prince philip.
