- Since Shavkat Mirziyoyev has come to power in Uzbekistan, the reforms affecting a variety of areas are increasingly being discussed, but for the most part, no reforms can be implemented without making changes in the country's political system. So, what are these modifications visible in?

As a result of the government's policy aimed at ensuring freedom of speech, the domestic media scene is becoming increasingly active, with representatives of the blogosphere and users of social networks discussing current social and political subjects.

In modern Uzbekistan, there is an increase in the social activity of all members of civil society everywhere, expressed in a conscious desire to participate in resolving issues, managed by government. The development of civil activity is an objective process accompanying the democratization of the economic, legal and social fields of human activity. These processes are characteristic of New Uzbekistan.

Political parties are the most classical institutions of democracy, and the democratic principle of political pluralism contributes to the existence of a variety of political forces with competition between them for representation in state bodies.
