Mouvement de Libération Nationale du Québec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mouvement de Libération Nationale du Québec (MLNQ) is a secessionist and reactionary group in Quebec, Canada, founded (in the wake of the 1995 referendum on Quebec sovereignty) by Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) founder and convicted murderer Raymond Villeneuve. It presents itself as a continuation of the former FLQ terrorist organization. The MLNQ vows to "fight until the end for Quebec independence", "intends to favour a revolutionary struggle to free the people", "intends to favour the emergence of a people's militia", and overall intends to pursue independence by "any necessary and inevitable means", including violence and personal attacks, should democracy not bring their desired outcome, according to their manifesto. Most common sightings of MLNQ occur during Canada Day in Quebec City during the raising of the Canadian flag.
[edit] Supporters
Supporters of the MLNQ include Pierre Falardeau.
The group has been led formerly by Raymond Villeneuve, a founding member of the FLQ, who was ousted of the Parti Québécois for his stances and comments of reactionary and antisemitic nature.
