RCMP has forced around hundred masked demonstrators outside the College Lionel-Groulx in Sainte-Therese to disperse. The protestors gathered to find their way in the college’s building.
Remarkably, a few of these students were supported by their parents, who stood by their side and took part in the protest. So far no arrests have been reported. Earlier, police stopped a bus headed toward the college.
Just one day ago, Line Beauchamp resigned as Quebec’s Education Minister and Deputy Premier while Treasury Board President Michelle Courchesne replaced her.
Beauchamp said she does not see the support and trust from the student body anymore, therefore, she sees no point in staying at her post. However, she emphasized that the violent demonstrations have not intimidated her.
“I am not giving up in the face of vandalism and civil disobedience,” said Beauchamp, who will resign her Montreal-area seat. “I am resigning because I no longer believe I’m part of the solution.”
Courchesne would now be expected to bring an end to the historic student protests taking place in Montreal. Courchesne has previously held the seat of education minister from 2007 to 2010.
“I was presiding,” Courchesne said Monday, explaining the context. “I was there to ensure the talks went smoothly, to see that everyone had a chance to speak.”
Courchesne is to meet student leaders Tuesday to analyze the situation and come up with suggestions on how to develop a plan that can tone down the mass and satisfy the government.
