Electoral management | The duty

Even if François Legault is popular in his management of the COVID-19, the fact remains that the breathlessness of the population begins to be felt. In a recent poll, the CAQ lost 10% of its support to, among others, Éric Duhaime’s Conservative Party. Isn’t the prime minister’s electoral temptation likely to increase in the weeks to come?

Already, we had seen that the CAQ was managing the crisis according to the mood of the moment reflected in the polls. This sometimes caused disputes with public health, which did not appreciate this opportunistic doublespeak from Legault. Often information flowed to the media before the holding of the press conference, which placed the health authorities before the fait accompli. […]

François Legault has free rein to govern by decree. The health emergency gives him immense powers to the detriment of the opposition parties, which are relegated to the shadows. The electoral danger awaits the Prime Minister. Even if the Quebec population is behind Legault, it is however not fooled by the latter’s attempts to use the pandemic to position itself favorably in front of it.
