After having promised to take care of the “real business” in 2014, the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) proposes this time, at the dawn of the next provincial election campaign, to bring the “real solutions”, in particular the housing crisis and the climate change crisis.
It was to thunderous applause that the leader of the party, Dominique Anglade, unveiled Saturday in a packed house in Montreal the new slogan of her political party, as part of the 40e congress of the Youth Commission of the PLQ.
“Vote true. Real issues. Real solutions. This is how the party, which is struggling to carve out its place in the pre-election polls, where the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) largely dominates, will try to make an impression in anticipation of the October 3 election.
It was at the Plaza Centre-Ville, a building on Robert-Bourassa Boulevard, that Ms. Anglade made this unveiling. During the day, the Young Liberals will have the opportunity to debate the various bold proposals in order to determine which ones will be submitted to Ms. Anglade’s party. The latter will then have to decide whether to modify the electoral platform of her party, unveiled last June.
“We are really at a turning point in Quebec,” said Ms. Anglade during a 15-minute speech to cheerful activists, who repeatedly offered loud applause. The party leader then listed galloping inflation, the sharp increase in property values and the “lamentable” state of the health network as so many problems that the government of François Legault was unable to address. to address in recent years, according to her.
She also deplored the lack of action by the CAQ, according to her, to counter the fight against climate change, which is nevertheless “the challenge of the 21e century “.
“He does nothing,” she said, before adding: “He does ads, that’s what he does. “However, “we need a government that stops making ads and acts,” she hammered. Ms. Anglade also believes that Mr. Legault plans to “hide” during the upcoming election campaign, to avoid having to report on the gray areas in his record for the past four years, she said. in a press briefing on the sidelines of his speech to party activists.
Ms. Anglade, for her part, said she was ready to “roll up her sleeves” and “do battle with the CAQ”.
