80 Democratic Organizations Issue Statement Supporting Constitutional Referendum on February 8

On February 6, 2024, 80 democratic organizations issued a statement supporting the February 8 referendum to approve a new constitution. The groups argue that the current 2017 constitution, created after the military coup, centralizes power and restricts citizens' rights. They are calling for a new constitution drafted through public participation, with the goal of creating a more democratic system that places people at the center of political and economic development.
