The only real threat to the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) is the Parti Québécois (PQ), affirms the leader of the Bloc Québécois, Yves-François Blanchet, who came to lend a hand to the Parti Québécois (PQ) during a rally of activists in a bar in Baie-Comeau at the end of the afternoon.
The leader of the federal sovereigntist formation has fired red balls at the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) and Québec solidaire (QS). “Gabriel and François, it’s starting to be cute said Mr. Blanchet, alluding to the fact that Mr. Legault seems to be focusing his attacks on Quebec solidaire. “Who is the least dangerous leader for François Legault? This is Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. »
He affirms that there is no transfer of votes between the CAQ and Québec solidaire. He adds that the left formation and the Liberal Party are confined to certain regions.
“Which party has the greatest potential for growth in voting intentions, whether you like it or not, it’s Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s Parti Québécois (PQ). »
He also ridiculed the threat posed by the Conservative Party. “I haven’t paid much attention to people who are angry, who have chosen an angry leader and who go to vote angry. »
Mr. Blanchet believes that Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon delivered a good performance at Thursday’s leaders’ debate. “He waited for the moments to, each time, present the proposals and program elements of the Parti Québécois. Much more than trying to attack the other. And that is worthy of the greatest respect. »
Like Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon the day before, Mr. Blanchet invited the sovereignists who voted for the CAQ, but also for Québec solidaire to return to the fold.
In a press scrum, Mr. Blanchet questioned the independence convictions of Québec solidaire. “A genius strategist at Québec solidaire who says: ‘we are separatists’, it’s very good for challenging PQ voters, but who also says: ‘for us, we are separatists, but there is no nation with an identity. What constitutes the national identity, we deny it”. »
The CAQ of François Legault would have made “uncertain representations” on sovereignty. “Stop deluding yourself, François Legault will not achieve independence, it has been clear. We have to stop saying to ourselves, independence will be good later. It would be good right away. If we want independence right away, we vote for separatists. »
