Once approved by the Senate, these amendments will become part of the constitution and will serve as a milestone for the development and administrative improvement of the armed forces.
Following the approval of these defense-related bills, the government is preparing further measures to ensure the country’s security remains robust.
On the other hand, the opposition in the National Assembly raised objections to the bills and staged protests, including chanting slogans in the chamber. The opposition voiced concerns over certain aspects of the amendments, but despite these objections, the passage of the bills is seen as a step towards making essential constitutional changes.
