evidence: Sri Lanka 2022: The aragalaya protest movement and the Rajapaksas’ fall from power [...] Indeed, with the approval by Parliament of the 22nd amendment to the Constitution on 21 October, the new executive seemed to be heading in the right direction. However, the Amendment was criticized by the opposition for being too limited. According to this view, the Constitution did not introduce accountability and transparency, and still left excessive powers to the President [ICJ 2022, August 9; Kuruwita 2022, October 26]. Beyond these uncertainties, on the positive side, the Aragalaya movement has been a very important novelty in Sri Lankan politics. For the first time, a transversal political movement has arisen in a country historically crossed by divisions along religious and ethnic lines. The success of a largely young, inclusive and peaceful movement certainly opened hopes for the stabilization of the country.
