Quebec Liberal Party Suspends and Strips Leadership from Marwah Rizqy over Trust Breach
Quebec Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Marwah Rizqy has been suspended from the Quebec Liberal caucus and stripped of her leadership duties following a 'breach of trust,' according to an official statement from party leader Pablo Rodriguez. Rizqy, who was appointed parliamentary leader in June, was removed after she fired her chief of staff, Geneviève Hinse, without consulting Rodriguez. Sources suggest the dismissal was due to personality clashes and a lack of communication with Rodriguez, who had known Rizqy for about a decade and supported her political career. André Fortin, MNA for Pontiac, has been appointed as the new parliamentary leader, with Marc Tanguay serving as party whip. The party emphasized that the measures aim to maintain caucus cohesion and proper functioning. Rizqy's removal follows internal disagreements and controversy, including her support for Rodriguez during his leadership campaign and her previous electoral efforts in Hochelaga.
