Pascal Bérubé accused Éric Duhaime of misleading the public for several weeks regarding partisan appointments. He argued that hiring political staff in the government apparatus was necessarily political and that Duhaime had chosen conservatives for his riding office rather than Péquistes or people he did not know. Bérubé defined a partisan appointment as the allocation of state management positions unrelated to political decisions to individuals associated with the ruling party, rather than to the most capable candidates. He claimed that the Parti Québécois had committed not to proceed in this manner and accused Duhaime of spreading misinformation in order to gain a political advantage, which, according to him, undermined trust in institutions. #PolitiqueQuébécoise #Désinformation #NominationPartisane (translated)
