Noul lider separatist al Quebecului nu va jura credinţă regelui Charles al III-lea / ”E ceva anormal ca un rege străin să vină să ne spună ce să facem”

The new separatist leader of Quebec, Paul Saint-Pierre-Plamondon, announced he will not swear allegiance to King Charles III during his inauguration. He aims to prevent the British crown's representative from attending the ceremony, arguing that it is inappropriate for a foreign king to dictate actions in Quebec. Saint-Pierre-Plamondon, who advocates for the abolition of the monarchy's role in the province, has sought legal advice on this matter. Following the 2022 provincial elections, PQ members, including him, refused to pledge allegiance to the king, leading to temporary restrictions on their mandates. He plans to hold a referendum on Quebec's independence after Donald Trump's term ends in 2029, as current political tensions hinder discussions on the province's future.
