Québec Solidaire Stands by MNA Haroun Bouazzi Amid Controversy

The party supports Bouazzi after his comments on minority portrayals in the National Assembly drew criticism.

Québec Solidaire's emergency motion supports MNA Haroun Bouazzi following backlash over his remarks on the portrayal of minorities in the National Assembly.
Bouazzi's comments accused some politicians of negatively framing North African, Black, Muslim, and Indigenous communities, leading to accusations of racism.
Critics, including MNAs from other parties, claim Bouazzi's statements undermine the integrity of the Assembly, while he insists he never labeled anyone as racist.
The party's resolution condemns the threats against Bouazzi and reaffirms its commitment to fighting systemic racism without endorsing his comments.
Québec Solidaire leaders describe Bouazzi's remarks as clumsy but affirm the party's stance on free expression and systemic racism issues.
