On August 1, the Charest
government called a provincial election for September 4 as part of its
refusal to address the social crisis in Quebec and to isolate the
students. Students were prepared and were out in force in Premier
Charest's riding on July 31 to press their just demands and oppose the
government's neo-liberal agenda. Amongst the parties participating in
the election was the Marxist-Leninist Party of Quebec, which on August
1 issued a communique calling on Quebeckers to occupy the space for
change and announcing it would run 25 candidates.
