The Parti Québécois condemned the reactions it described as hateful and defamatory towards Jacinthe-Eve Arel following her appointment as chief of staff to the Minister Delegate for Regulatory Relief. It claimed that some criticisms were based on false information and accused media outlets, including Radio-Canada, of treating her hiring as a mistake after inviting her to comment on current events. The party recalled that Arel participated on October 5 in Radio-Canada’s electoral program, viewed by nearly a million viewers, and that she also appeared on Radio-Canada, Québecor, Noovo, BLVD, and RadioX. It presented her professional background, which included twelve years in the health and social services network, senior management positions, leading teams of several hundred employees, and managing budgets of several tens of millions. The Parti Québécois specified that Arel was not an elected official and that she was recruited for her skills and her behind-the-scenes work, with a duty of reserve. It also stated that the intensity of the attacks raised questions about the treatment of women in politics and social polarization. The party acknowledged that Arel had previously defended positions more to the right than those of the party, but expressed a desire to bring together different nationalist currents, including those calling for less state intervention and a more efficient public administration. #Intolérance #PolitiqueQuébécoise #DialogueSocial (translated)

Seydi Ba wrote that the deputy Éric Ciotti had personally asked the Minister of the Interior to investigate him due to the use of his freedom of expression, deemed "dangerous for the Republic." He believed that attacking the remarks of a lawyer, on the contrary, endangered the Republic. Seydi Ba recalled that, according to a statement from the International Union of Lawyers published on October 30, the freedom of expression of lawyers extends to matters of general interest, criticism of the functioning of justice, and questions regarding the actions of public authorities. He indicated that these principles are included in the Basic Principles of the United Nations regarding the role of the bar, adopted in Havana in 1990, and in the Council of Europe Convention for the protection of the profession of lawyer, signed by France on May 13, 2025. He added that his positions could be criticized, but that they did not, in his opinion, justify a political leader asking the executive to act against their author because they were disturbing. Finally, Seydi Ba thanked the International Union of Lawyers for its reminder and stated that he would continue to express himself, even if his remarks displeased Éric Ciotti. #LibertéDexpression #Justice #Démocratie (translated)

Mathieu Bock-Côté defended the arrival of Jacinthe-Ève Arel in the Parti québécois, arguing that her right-wing positions should not exclude her from the civic space. He recalled that she had sometimes seen qualities in Donald Trump, severely criticized health measures during the pandemic, and argued that there were only two sexes. Bock-Côté specified that he was not commenting on the merits of these opinions, but that they could be contested without justifying, in his view, Arel's exclusion. He accused members of Québec solidaire of demanding Arel's dismissal and wanting to ban her from political life. He also criticized some Péquistes who had relayed this indignation and claimed that Arel did not have a place in the PQ. According to him, the party was a coalition that could welcome social democrats, progressives, conservatives, and libertarians. Bock-Côté argued that the independence of Quebec was the common ground for Péquistes, despite their disagreements on the model of society. He believed that the sovereignist movement should also welcome people close to Éric Duhaime's ideas, and presented Arel's membership in the independence camp as a contribution to this cause. #Québec #Indépendance #Politique (translated)

Novia News described the announcement of the end, even temporarily, of the demonstrations along the République–Bastille–Nation route as a "historic decision." The media stated that it was exceptionally breaking its usual silence, believing that this route, associated with decades of mobilizations and social demands, could not be called into question without raising concerns about the right to protest in Paris. It added that security imperatives should not trivialize restrictions on fundamental freedoms and said it wished to continue to provide independent information. #Libertés #Manifestation #France (translated)

Franceinfo stated that Sarah Knafo, European MP from Reconquête, had been invited that morning to the show "8.30 Franceinfo" and had repeatedly called into question the journalists and their work. The channel recalled that a political interview should allow journalists to question political leaders and confront them with their statements and positions, regardless of their interlocutor. Franceinfo regretted that the interview did not take place within this framework, attributing it to a strategy it deemed deliberate to delegitimize journalistic work, particularly that of public service, which was subsequently pursued on social media. It expressed support for Simon Le Baron and Audrey Tison and condemned the attacks, threats, and attempts to intimidate its journalists. The channel also denied having apologized after the interview, contrary to what CGTV had claimed. It stated that it would continue to give a voice to different political sensitivities and to promote democratic debate in accordance with the rules of interviewing. #Journalisme #Politique #DébatDémocratique (translated)
