At the microphone of Yasmine Abdelfadel at QUB radio on Thursday, M^me Anglade said she was convinced that Quebecers need to be united and not divided as François Legault did.

The politician believes that Quebec is not going in the right direction. She referred, among other things, to closed emergencies and deaths in the middle of the street in Montreal.

“There are more than a million Quebecers who do not have a family doctor, whereas we were at 400,000 four years earlier. There are several things that indicate that we are not going in the right direction. I can’t wait to do battle with François Legault when he reappears. We don’t know where he is now. He hides and does not answer questions.

Asked why Quebecers do not hear the findings of the Liberal Party, Ms.^me Anglade replies that the electoral campaign will be the perfect place to have exchanges and debates.

She added in the same breath that 55% of people believe that François Legault is not going in the right direction and that 40% of citizens can change their minds during the election campaign.

“In politics, there are two important qualities, courage and perseverance. These are the ones we will put forward, ”she said.

Perceived as a polite person in the poll, Ms. Anglade believes people need to see someone with a different kind of leadership who can challenge Premier Legault on fundamental issues.

An appointment that makes people talk

Former Radio-Canada journalist Martine Biron, who should make the leap into the political arena, raises questions according to Ms.^me England.

“Martine Biron had links with all political parties. It doesn’t worry me, but it’s the kind of thing that makes people more skeptical of politics and journalists.”
