King Charles faces rejection .. MPs will not take an oath of allegiance to the British monarch.

A few new Quebec lawmakers who won provincial elections on Wednesday refused to swear an oath of allegiance to Canada's King Charles III, as required by the constitution.

In a televised speech, 11 deputies from the left-wing Québec Solidaire party, or “Quebec Solidarity,” took an oath of allegiance to the “people of Quebec,” but they did not want to take the other oath that binds them to the British monarchy, risking not being allowed to take their seats in the National Assembly at the end of November. .

The party's spokesman, Gabriel Nadeau Dubois, confirmed at a press conference that they worked with their "full knowledge of the results". "We campaigned to change the era of Quebec, and if we are elected to Parliament, it is to open windows," he added.

Canadian constitutional law requires any representative elected at the federal or local level to take an oath of allegiance to the British monarchy in order to take his seat. It is assumed that the representatives of the “Party of Quebec” will be sworn in on Friday, while the three politicians elected in his name have announced that they will not take an oath of allegiance to the British king.

Last week, Paul Saint-Pierre Blamondon, the party's leader, spoke of a "conflict of interest" because "two masters cannot be served". He added that the property "costs C$67 million annually, and this section is a reminder of colonial domination."
