The presence of a relative of the Hells Angels among the organizers of the demonstrations against the health instructions worries the government and the opposition parties, which support the measures of Mayor Bruno Marchand in anticipation of their return this weekend to Quebec.

According to the former police officer who became Minister of Indigenous Affairs Ian Lafrenière, we should not be surprised to see “unscrupulous people” find themselves among the organizers of the anti-sanitary measures demonstrations.
“Unfortunately, when groups of this kind hold demonstrations, it leaves the door open to small groups that are extremists,” commented the Caquiste deputy from Vachon.

“I am very, very, very disappointed to see that there are people linked to organized crime who are infiltrating this,” he underlined, returning to the revelations of our Bureau of investigation. .
Mr. Lafrenière also believes that the organizers of the demonstration should dissociate themselves from elements of a violent nature, as we saw in Alberta, after the discovery of a disturbing arsenal of firearms on the sidelines of the blockade in Coutts.
Concerned
The three opposition parties agreed.
“I find it very worrying that we have people with criminal pasts involved in this,” reacted Liberal leader Dominique Anglade.

“When we talk about Hells Angels, […] I find it good, very worrying, “said Manon Massé, of Quebec solidaire.
“It is certain that those who have recognized criminal backgrounds, that does indeed raise questions about security,” also indicated the parliamentary leader of the Parti Québécois, Martin Ouellet, who relies on the police to avoid any overflow. .
In accordance with the measures
All support the measures announced Wednesday by the mayor of Quebec in anticipation of the return of the demonstrators.
Only one downside: the opposition parties want these regulatory changes to be limited in time.

“This summer, people are going to want to go to parks and then have barbecues. I think it was something that made everyone’s life more enjoyable. There is no reason to go back on that, ”said the supportive deputy for Jean-Lesage, Sol Zanetti.
