The singer-songwriter and resident of Mont-Louis in Gaspécy made his comments in Saint-Anne-des-Monts on Tuesday. Daniel Boucher came to support Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, who is visiting the region this week, as he did for Jean-Francois Lisy in 2018. This has been clear to me for a long time,” he said.
“What I hear, what I see, it thrills me and what I feel around me, it thrills people,” he said of the PQ leader’s current campaign and performance. “If I had a flat in the countryside, I would stay at home,” he replied to a journalist.
The early years of the Parti Québécois were long marked by the support of Quebec artists such as Gilles Vigneault and Paul Piché. Does he believe that many sovereigns are staying at home while the PQ is fighting for survival in this election? According to the latest Leger, the PQ stands at 9% of Quebecers’ voting intentions.
“I have always displayed my separatist colors clearly, predictably, with great pride,” he said. “I can’t do it for others, though […] I invite the separatists to show themselves with pride to bring independence to Quebec. »
Young Quebec artists have recently lent their support to Quebec Solidaire. This is especially the case with singer Emile Bilodeau. Klô Pelgag also participated in a concert organized during the party’s political congress last November.
