The Spin

Narrative A

The constitutional amendments are essential for creating a solid legal foundation for the government's efforts to build a "New Uzbekistan," which has been gradually established over the past years. Under the leadership of Mirziyoyev, the country is following an irreversible path of liberalization that has promoted freedom of speech, religion, movement, and prosperity.

Narrative B

Emboldened by Russia's isolation on the global stage, Central Asia's leaders are consolidating their power as the Kremlin has expressed its commitment to preventing the so-called "color revolutions" in the region — and Uzbekistan is no exception. The constitutional overhaul has extended Mirziyoyev's political power by allowing his rule to continue well beyond his original term limit.
