Alexandre Gauthier wrote that he saw users of X mocking the emotion of Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon during the swearing-in ceremony of the members of the Parti québécois. He indicated that some considered this reaction unworthy of a man and, even more so, of a statesman. Gauthier reminded that the Parti québécois had only three deputies in the last elections and that it was, in his opinion, on the verge of disappearing. He believed that these circumstances explained Saint-Pierre Plamondon's emotion, as his party was supposed to form the next government. He also argued that in 2026, men had the right to express their emotions. Finally, he encouraged Saint-Pierre Plamondon to stay true to himself, attributing his choice by Quebecers to his authenticity and sincerity. #Québec #Politique #Émotions (translated)

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon recalled that four years ago, when the Parti Québécois had only three elected members at the swearing-in ceremony, he had told his friend Pascal Bérubé that one day the lily would bloom again. He indicated that 59 party members had now taken an oath to the Constitution of Quebec. He stated that the elected officials would serve all Quebecers, whether they voted for the Parti Québécois or for another party, and that they would focus on their interests, needs, and priorities rather than on the next election. He acknowledged that a government could make mistakes while promising to demonstrate authenticity and transparency. Plamondon said he wanted to gradually reduce the cost of living, regain control of public finances by addressing waste and bureaucracy, and freeze the salaries of elected officials and leaders of state-owned enterprises until a return to budgetary balance. He also promised to refocus the state on healthcare, education, the protection of the population, and culture, as well as to halve homelessness in Quebec. He presented these measures as a way to restore trust in the state and government before resuming the debate on Quebec's national future. He defended the idea that Quebec should adopt all its laws, negotiate on its behalf with its international partners, and manage its entire budget independently, and then concluded with a call for freedom and a free Quebec. #Québec #Politique #PartiQuébécois (translated)
