She had left the doubt, she now closes the door double turn. MP Marie-Louise Tardif will not sue the newspaper that reported the remarks that led to her temporary exclusion from the caucus of the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ).
“I totally rule out continuing Le Nouvelliste or any media, ”launched the elected representative of Laviolette–Saint-Maurice, barely 24 hours after having avoided specifying her intentions in front of journalists.
Asked Wednesday whether or not she wanted to sue the Trois-Rivières daily, which had reported the threats she allegedly made in court against a former political employee, Ms. Tardif replied: “We will see. There may be a sequel. »
“Who told you that I said those things? “, she had chained.
Le Nouvelliste reported in February that MP Tardif told a former employee that she was going “to embark on [son] case” after she testified in a case opposing her to her former constituency office manager, Marc Léopold Fortin.
These events led to a complaint to the Sûreté du Québec, which then launched an investigation in early March. However, the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions did not bring any charges against the MP. After three weeks away from the CAQ caucus, she finally joined it on Wednesday.
