Facing critical choice

We have a unique opportunity today to not only further the development
of our state's and society's development but also to raise them to
a new level. The key to it is the constitutional amendments that all
the political forces have been speaking about.
Sadly enough, some forces seem to be satisfied just by beautiful
speeches about the necessity to adopt constitutional amendments but
in reality, they may try to derail the process of that adoption,
since if the amendments package fails, we will have to continue to
live under a constitution that many view as hindering our development.
Judging from the stance of certain political circles, such possibility
should not be ruled out. And while the stance of the opposition
that had been disparaging every step of the authorities could be
comprehended in the context of political fighting, now, there is no
more logic in its position.
Since, in this case, the fight would be not against the amendments
drafted by the authorities but against the democratization process. So,
those political forces and politicians would be seen as preventing
the development of the country and their fight against any authorities
would make no sense.
