Consciously or not, we all aspire to live our moment of glory. And this is perhaps what motivated the outgoing President of the National Assembly to refuse access to it to deputies who refused to swear allegiance to King Charles III and to expel them. manu militari despite a broad consensus among the population on the advisability of getting rid of an outdated symbol of British colonialism.
On the one hand, François Paradis, who did not stand for re-election in the last election, could have left it to his successor or the prime minister to decide on the issue. At best, he could have spoken his mind without taking the arrogance and intransigence up a notch with the threat of forced eviction.
On the other hand, what will appear to some as a manifestation of the narrow-mindedness or the ego of the principal concerned (or a happy mixture of the two…) places François Legault at the foot of the wall to quickly find a honorable way out of the crisis. Especially since this government, reputed to manage according to the mood of the citizens, can hardly turn a deaf ear to the desire of the majority to break with an archaic tradition that revives our colonialist past.
Between dunce and genius, only the continuation of things will make it possible to decide on what will be retained from the decision of the outgoing president of the National Assembly.
