Saint-Laurent MNA Marwah Rizqy has stirred controversy within the Quebec Liberal Party after dismissing her chief of staff, Geneviève Hinse, without consulting party leader Pablo Rodriguez. This move led to Rizqy being removed from her position as parliamentary leader and suspended from the caucus. Rizqy defended her decision on social media, citing ethical breaches as the reason behind Hinse’s dismissal. However, questions remain regarding the party’s internal dynamics and potential repercussions for those involved.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez faced scrutiny over allegations of cash rewards being offered to supporters during the party’s leadership race. The unfolding drama prompted Rodriguez to defend freedom of the press while vowing to take action against the media outlet that published the incriminating text messages. The situation has cast a shadow over the PLQ, with leadership candidates Charles Milliard and Karl Blackburn expressing their solidarity with Rodriguez amidst calls for a confidence vote.
As tensions escalate within the party, the future remains uncertain for Rizqy, Hinse, and the overall stability of the Quebec Liberal Party.
