Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the Parti Québécois and newly elected Premier of Québec, has announced his intention to introduce legislation freezing the salaries of Members of the National Assembly (MNAs) and ministers, including his own. This measure will also apply to the compensation of senior executives in state-owned companies, remaining in effect until Québec’s budget is balanced. Simultaneously, Plamondon affirmed his refusal to swear allegiance to King Charles III upon entering office. This decision marks a firm stance against traditional protocols and reflects the sovereigntist party's position. The announcement signals a commitment to fiscal responsibility and a rejection of symbols of the British monarchy within Québec. This move is likely to generate significant political debate within the province and beyond. The news originated from Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
